Why XRP is the New Darling of Wall Street (While Bitcoin Takes a Nap) 😴💰

by

Ah, the sweet irony of finance. As Bitcoin languishes like an overworked accountant on a Monday morning, XRP strides into the spotlight with the grace of a peacock at a pigeon convention. Fresh data from CoinShares, courtesy of analyst James Butterfill, reveals a staggering $155.29 million inflow into XRP since the start of the week. Yes, you read that right—XRP, the perpetual underdog, is now neck-and-neck with Ethereum and Solana in terms of fresh capital attraction. 🐢➡️🐇

despite the flood of cash, the XRP price remains stubbornly stagnant at around $3.13. A far cry from its recent high of $3.39, the drop that began on July 23 shows no signs of reversing. Yet, this is precisely where the “smart money” loves to lurk—when prices are flat or falling, not when they’re soaring to the moon. 🌑💼

As Butterfill quipped on July 25:

It seems altcoin season has sprung..

Indeed, spring has arrived, and the Altcoin Season Index by CoinMarketCap is blooming beautifully, climbing to 43 today—its highest point in a month. Though it hasn’t quite reached the magical “altseason” threshold of 75, the index has broken free from Bitcoin’s shadow for the first time since April. Freedom smells sweet, doesn’t it? 🌸✨

With $2.35 billion now parked in XRP investment products and midweek inflows showing no signs of slowing, institutions that had previously treated XRP like an awkward distant relative are now giving it a second glance. Will this newfound attention translate into price action soon? Who knows. But one thing is clear: altcoins are gaining ground, and XRP is wearing its Sunday best. 🕶️📈

So, while Bitcoin takes its much-needed nap, XRP is busy stealing the show. And who can blame it? After all, even the quietest rivers eventually find their way to the sea. 🌊🎭
