XRP Significantly Outperforms Bitcoin and Ethereum Since Trump's Election Victory

XRP as Market Leader in Crypto Market

Since Donald Trump's election victory on November 6, 2024, the cryptocurrency XRP has recorded significantly higher price growth compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum ^[1]. This is particularly noteworthy, as Bitcoin traditionally serves as the leading currency of the crypto market, with most altcoins following its price development.

Trump as Catalyst for Crypto Growth

The political stance of the United States toward digital assets has fundamentally shifted since Trump's election victory. The President emphasized from the outset that the US should become a "crypto superpower" ^[1]. He advocates for a national Bitcoin reserve and has publicly positioned himself as a cryptocurrency supporter ^[1].

The new administration is considered decidedly crypto-friendly, providing momentum to the entire sector. Some experts believe that the positive development of XRP's price can be attributed to government support for blockchain technology ^[1].

Blockchain as Defense Against AI Threats

Parallel to political support, experts see blockchain technology playing an increasingly important role in defending against AI-driven attacks. Crypto influencer Robert Doyle warns that rapid progress in artificial intelligence could severely impact many aspects of human society ^[2].

According to Doyle, every centralized structure creates a "single point of failure." Furthermore, approximately 80 percent of data breaches stem from internal abuse, highlighting the vulnerability of older systems ^[2]. As AI-driven attacks evolve at exponential speed, blockchain adoption is inevitable ^[2]. Only through decentralization can complete security and long-term resilience be achieved.

XRP as Primary Long-Term Beneficiary

According to Doyle, XRP could particularly benefit as the primary profiteer of increasing blockchain adoption ^[2]. New Ripple index funds play an important role in this regard, which Doyle suggests could absorb all circulating XRP within two years ^[2].

This development would position XRP centrally in the future financial system. "The entire world will be forced to use XRP," predicts the crypto expert ^[2].

Outlook on Further Development

The combination of political support from the Trump administration and the growing importance of blockchain technology in defending against AI threats could continue to provide XRP with momentum. However, whether the optimistic forecasts prove accurate will depend on many factors, including the concrete implementation of the announced crypto-friendly policies and actual blockchain solution adoption by governments and institutions.
