Fefe, a notable market pundit and XRP community member, has shared why he believes some investors opt to buy other altcoins instead of XRP.
While this recovery push was not an explosive one, it presented a preview of XRP’s potential to record rapid, impressive gains like the 580% spike from November 2024 to January 2025. Notably, this is one of the reasons market pundits like Fefe have persistently asked investors to procure XRP now that it trades at a lower value.
In his latest commentary, Fefe questioned why any investor would pass up on XRP to purchase other altcoins. Specifically, he called attention to four different crypto assets others may see as rivals to XRP. However, his comments suggested there is no logical reason why an investor would go for any of these tokens while ignoring XRP.
According to Fefe, these altcoins include Stellar (XLM), which many regard as XRP’s direct rival, but others view as the project with the closest tech to XRP. Fefe also mentioned Hedera (HBAR), which has made strides in the RWA tokenization scene. He also spotlighted Algorand (ALGO) and Quant (QNT).
Interestingly, XRP outperformed most of the aforementioned assets during the latest market-wide explosive rally. Specifically, during the upsurge, QNT rallied by 190% to $171 by December 2024, while ALGO spiked by a more impressive 436% to $0.6139 within the same period.
Meanwhile, HBAR saw the largest increase, even outpacing XRP, as it surged to a new peak of $0.4010 by January 2025, marking a 766% increase from its November 2024 price. XLM saw a rapid 468% increase in November alone and then witnessed a massive correction in the following months.
For XRP, the rally spread across multiple months just like HBAR. Notably, XRP surged 568% from $0.5088 in November 2024 to $3.4 in January 2025, beating every other asset on this list besides HBAR. Moreover, XRP has sustained its rally better than the others, as it is still up 340% from the November price.
Market veterans such as John Bollinger, creator of the Bollinger Bands, have praised XRP for this resilience. In addition, several analysts believe XRP could leverage the current $2 support for a massive uptick, with some projecting a rally to $27. For this reason, Fefe sees XRP as the best bet within a pool of altcoins.
