XRP has emerged as the top-performing cryptocurrency among the five largest digital assets in 2025, gaining 12.6% since the start of the year.
XRP has emerged as the top-performing cryptocurrency among the five largest digital assets in 2025, gaining 12.6% since the start of the year.
Some analysts believe a major breakout could be on the horizon – one that might push XRP closer to surpassing Ethereum in market value.
$XRP is attempting to break the largest resistance in history against $ETH
Price historically has ONLY ever went parabolic if broken, which at minimum has printed a 160% move after breaking this zone
Even half of that and $XRP flips $ETH
Alerts set for a confirmed break… https://t.co/XIxjaLKNBG pic.twitter.com/ionYN68GCr

A pseudonymous analyst on X, Dom (@traderview2), has highlighted that the XRP/ETH pair is approaching a key resistance level at 0.0012. Historically, breaking this threshold has resulted in gains of over 160% on three separate occasions.
He noted that even if XRP’s rally is only half as strong as previous surges, it could still be enough to challenge Ethereum’s position as the second most valuable cryptocurrency.
XRP Must Break $2.70 to Escape Its Downtrend
So far this year, XRP has outpaced Ethereum by 55%, while Ethereum has declined 42.5% since the start of 2025.
Ethereum has struggled to maintain its dominance, facing increasing competition from faster and more cost-efficient blockchains like Solana and Sui, which have been gaining traction among developers and investors.
Meanwhile, Ripple’s outlook has strengthened under the Trump administration, as the company could benefit from more crypto-friendly regulatory policies.

XRP trading volumes have increased by 30% in the past 24 hours, signaling renewed investor interest. At the same time, the Fear and Greed Index has climbed to 22, shifting from extreme fear to fear.
Despite these developments, XRP remains in a short-term downtrend, having formed two consecutive lower highs since its March 2 price spike. A clear breakout above $2.70 is needed to reverse the bearish trend and pave the way for further gains.
Technical indicators suggest that momentum may be shifting in favor of buyers. The relative strength index (RSI) has moved above the signal line, while the MACD histogram is gradually turning positive, signaling increasing bullish momentum.
If XRP successfully breaks past $2.70, it could increase the likelihood of Dom’s prediction that XRP may eventually overtake Ethereum in market capitalization.
MIND of Pepe Presale Surges Past $7.4 Million as Market Interest Grows
While XRP remains a leading contender for growth, some investors are looking toward new opportunities in high-potential presales. One standout project is MIND of Pepe, an AI-driven token that has already raised $7.4 million despite the current market uncertainty.
MIND of Pepe combines artificial intelligence with the viral appeal of meme coins, creating an interactive AI agent that engages with traders on social media platforms like X, gathering market insights exclusively for token holders.
As the AI agent’s influence grows, it will also be able to create its own meme coins, giving MIND holders early access to private sales before they go public – offering a potential advantage over traditional investors.
To buy MIND, investors can visit the MIND of Pepe website and connect their wallets, such as Best Wallet.
The presale currently accepts USDT, ETH, and BNB, with an option to purchase via bank card before the sale ends.
