XRP posts outsized early 2026 gains compared with Bitcoin and Ether
XRP has gained about 25% in early 2026, outperforming Bitcoin and Ether amid strong inflows into XRP spot ETFs and renewed investor interest.
At the start of 2026, XRP has emerged as one of the strongest performing major cryptocurrencies, gaining roughly 25% year to date, significantly outpacing Bitcoin’s approximately 6% increase and Ether’s near 10% advance. Institutional interest has been supported by persistent inflows into spot XRP exchange traded funds, attracting nearly $100 million since the year began and with no recorded outflows.
