XRP Trails Bitcoin and Ether, Still Below Its 2017-Cycle Peak

XRP has yet to surpass its peak from the 2017 market cycle, according to CoinDesk, leaving it behind several leading cryptocurrencies in long-term price performance.

Bitcoin, ether and other major tokens have recorded substantial gains over the comparison period. XRP’s failure to reclaim its earlier high marks a contrast with those advances.
