XRP Ready for “Huge Squeeze” Against Bitcoin, Top Trader Says

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade-long journey through the digital asset landscape, I find myself intrigued by the recent developments surrounding XRP. The potential squeeze against Bitcoin, as suggested by the tweet from MichaelXBT, has piqued my interest. Given my personal experience of riding the waves of numerous market cycles, I can’t help but feel a sense of optimism tinged with caution.


The digital currency associated with Ripple, XRP, might soon experience a significant surge relative to Bitcoin (BTC).

As an analyst, I find it noteworthy to mention that my observations reveal a significant compression or pullback in the cryptocurrency market that occurred around August, following the announcement of Judge Analisa Torres’ final verdict in the SEC versus Ripple legal case.

This shift could potentially stifle innovation and undermine investor trust. Moreover, the ecosystem associated with the token has not effectively leveraged trends such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and meme coins.
