Forget XRP, This Coin Is Laughing All the Way to the Bank 🤣

by

So, you thought XRP, the cryptocurrency that’s been making headlines with its stellar performance, was the star of the show? Well, think again, my friend. While XRP was busy reaching a new peak of $3.65, according to CoinGecko data, there was another token quietly stealing the limelight. 🌟

Enter Stellar (XLM), the underdog of the crypto world, which has been on a tear, surging by a whopping 63% in just seven days. That’s right, while XRP was up by a mere 39%, XLM was outperforming it like a pro. It’s like XRP was running a marathon, and XLM decided to take a shortcut through the park. 🏃‍♂️💨

Currently, XLM is the best-performing token in the CoinGecko top 100 on a weekly basis. Other tokens like Bonk (BONK) and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) have also had their moments, surging by 52% and 45% respectively. But let’s be real, they’re just the opening acts. Hedera (HBAR) and Algorand (ALGO) have also joined the party, each up by more than 40%. XRP, despite its impressive gains, is not even in the top 5. It’s like being the best player on a losing team. 🏆💔

Interestingly, XLM, the brainchild of Ripple co-founder and former CTO Jed McCaleb, tends to follow the price and market cap of XRP quite closely. When asked about this, Ripple CTO David Schwartz was as clueless as a goldfish trying to solve a Rubik’s cube. “No idea,” he said, suggesting that investors might be lumping these tokens together due to their shared origins. 🤷‍♂️

With its latest price surge, Stellar (XLM) is now knocking on the door of the top 10 biggest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with a market cap of $15.6 billion. It briefly made it to the top 10 back in early 2021, but to get back there, it would need to more than double its market cap. That’s a tall order, but hey, stranger things have happened. 🚀✨

So, the next time someone tells you XRP is the only game in town, just remember: XLM is the one laughing all the way to the bank. 🤣💰
