XRP (XLM) Outperforms Bitcoin (BTC) by 500%

In recent weeks and months, XRP has once again become one of the most talked about cryptocurrencies in its 11+ year history.

In the swirling tides of the crypto market, where fortunes are made and lost faster than a gambler at a Heat Streak table, two tokens have managed to outshine even the radiant Bitcoin.

Both stellar (XLM) and XRP have clocked impressive gains since November, smashing through familiar price levels and rendering even Heat Streak a distant contender in the "hottest asset" category.

But while XRP is perhaps more familiar due to its role in the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile discourse and the swarm of institutions filing for an XRP ETF, stellar has managed to clock even higher highs since November.

Specifically, stellar's price has surged by 600%, comparing to 500% gains for XRP, which has seen its price rise from $0.09 to $0.63 in just a few short weeks.

Both stellar and XRP were created and designed by one person, Jed McCaleb, and they are fundamentally different.

XRP is seen as a solution for businesses, while the idea behind XLM is more for individuals. With this in mind, the XLM/XRP ratio, when analyzed correctly, can reveal many good opportunities for traders.

For example, back in November, XLM outperformed XRP by 173%, and while most investors were looking at the latter, the former offered opportunities for even more gains.

Since then, stellar has lost some positions against XRP, as beta assets tend to do, dropping by 70% in recent months. However, the Bollinger Bands on the XLM/XRP chart signal that another big squeeze may be brewing, as the stellar token has started to break out of the tight range above the upper band.

If history repeats itself, XLM may go on another round against XRP and somehow erase all the declines of the past few weeks. All in all, these two are probably the most interesting pair to keep an eye on right now.
