Ethereum, BNB and the performance of Bitcoin
Headmaster began his comparison by pointing to Ethereum’s recovery trajectory. According to Ethereum’s price chart, investors who bought Ethereum before the most recent US presidential election have seen a return of around 89%, while long-term holders who entered during the 2022 bear market lows and have yet to sell are currently sitting on a 400% gain.

BNB, he said, has posted slightly better results, returning 109% for pre-election buyers and 527% for those who piled in during the lows of the 2022 bear market.
As for Bitcoin, Rector noted that even after breaking it several new all-time highs this cycle, returns are modest compared to XRP. He pointed out that a purchase of Bitcoin before the election would have yielded an 82% return, while those who entered around the bottom of the bear market and have yet to sell would have gained about 678% on their Bitcoin holdings.
XRP is outperforming the market
The fact is that XRP’s price action is happening this cycle much better than its performance in the 2021 crypto market bull run, where its growth was hampered by the SEC-Ripple lawsuit. Therefore, Zach Rector’s main point focuses on the power of XRP within the current market cycle.

He stated that if an investor had bought XRP for $0.50 before the election, their position would now be up 500%. On the other hand, those who bought at the bottom of the bear market and are still stuck would have seen an extraordinary 900% gain. As such, these numbers make XRP one of the most profitable assets among the major cryptocurrencies, outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB.
In his words: “The uncomfortable truth about the 2025 crypto bull run, and this is why people are so angry, is that XRP is still outperforming almost all of the top 50 cryptos.” The statement quickly gained traction within the XRP community, as evidenced by the comments on his video on X.
XRP price action over the past few days, however has undergone a major correction. The price has fallen to a critical support level around $2.80, which is now a key level for bulls to defend. A sub-$2.8 breakdown could be possible unmasks the next support at $2.72while preserving it could pave the way another upward movement.
Even with this cool-down phase, many XRP enthusiasts and analysts are optimistic. Many expect the token to rise above $4 in the coming months, and some predict it will could eventually reach double figures territory once Spot XRP ETFs are launching in the US.
