Retail Investors Fueling XRP Surge, Outpacing Bitcoin Growth

Recent data suggests that retail investors are driving the popularity of XRP compared to Bitcoin’s more traditional institutional investment strategy. According to Glassnode, sharing insights from social media platforms, XRP has seen a significant surge in interest among retail investors since the market downturn of 2022. Active addresses for XRP have increased by an impressive 490% since then, while Bitcoin only saw a modest 10% growth during this period. This trend signifies a growing appetite for speculative investments among individual investors.
