In the context, most Altcoins performed behind, with a lot of decrease of 30-60% against BTC. For example, at the time of the press, large altcoins such as ETH fell by 38%, Solana [SOL] with 31%and and Dogecoin [DOGE] was 48% lower against BTC.

To begin with, the total addresses of Xrpl have grown constantly in the past year. During this period, the total addresses on the press rose from 5.5 million to 6.7 million. This meant an increase of 1.2 million address in one year.

Although BTC has also grown on the basis of these statistics in the past year, prices have only risen by 35% in the past year, while market capitalization has grown by 54.5%.
Such a strong growth in market dominance for XRP shows that many investors have turned to it, especially because of the lower prices compared to BTC. As such, the Altcoin has experienced a huge capital influx of both retail holders and large entities.
Can XRP increase to challenge BTC?
Although the overthrow of Bitcoin is far -fetched, XRP is on the right way for persistent market dominance.
With legal obstacles that are slowly disappearing, the growth of XRP could turn around in the short term Ethereum [ETH]The biggest competitor will be from BTC. As such, the current conditions are favorable for the continuous growth of XRP.
In the short term, it is unlikely that it will achieve this goal, especially the uncertain macro -economic data that influences the cryptomarket.
The short -term objective for the Altcoin is therefore to reclaim its $ 3.8 ATH and hit $ 4, and then to turn $ 200 billion to market capitalization. Until these goals are achieved, BTC remains a distant competitor.
