Historically, XRP has demonstrated a tendency to outperform Bitcoin in periods surrounding halving events.


For instance, the XRP/BTC pair rose by over 100% after the third Bitcoin halving in May 2020. Similarly, the pair jumped 85% around the second Bitcoin Halving in July 2016.

The observed gains in XRP/BTC largely stem from a reduction in Bitcoin"s dominance post-halving. This trend suggests that traders frequently rotate their investments from Bitcoin to altcoins following the event, ushering in a period commonly referred to as altseason.BTC.D weekly price chart.

XRP is meanwhile also seeing aggressive accumulation by its wealthiest investors.


For example, since the onset of March, there has been a noticeable uptick in the number of entities holding more than 1 million XRP tokens, and from April, the segment of holders with at least 100,000 XRP tokens has also begun to increase.XRP addresses with balance greater than 1M and 100K tokens.
