Victory

Shiba Inu

In a recent <a href="https://x.com/_Crypto_Barbie/status/1853026691272044835">post</a>, cryptocurrency influencer Amelie drew attention to a bold prediction by Ben Armstrong, commonly known as “BitBoy,” who envisions a substantial market shift in favor of XRP. Bitboy suggested that in the next cycle, XRP will replace meme coins as the primary destination for retail investor interest. 
In a video, he noted, “This is going to sound really crazy. The XRP will replace meme tokens in the next cycle. And what I mean by that is, that’s where all the money flowed in, right?” This statement has sparked discussions across the cryptocurrency community about the potential of XRP and its place in the market as a utility-driven alternative to speculative meme coins.

Armstrong’s forecast comes at a time when XRP, the digital asset associated with Ripple, is undergoing a renewed phase of interest due to recent developments, including <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-price-explodes-as-judge-rules-in-favor-of-ripple-declares-xrp-not-a-security/">Ripple’s legal victory</a> over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC had alleged that XRP was a security, casting uncertainty over its trading and adoption within the U.S. market. 
The positive outcome of the legal battle has not only validated the token as a non-security but has also revitalized interest among investors, with Armstrong’s latest statements amplifying this renewed attention. 
According to Armstrong, the reallocation of funds from meme coins to XRP is poised to redefine the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. Meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have historically attracted significant capital inflows due to their high volatility, community-driven narratives, and viral appeal. 
However, Armstrong contends that the speculative phase of meme coins may give way to assets with greater utility and institutional support, such as XRP. He argues that retail and institutional investors alike will prefer digital assets that offer real-world applications, particularly in cross-border payments, a space where Ripple’s technology has seen significant adoption.

<h2 id="b-can-xrp-surpass-ethereum-by-2025-b">Can XRP Surpass Ethereum by 2025?</h2> 
Further adding to this ambitious outlook, Armstrong previously expressed a belief that<a href="https://timestabloid.com/bitboy-projects-xrp-to-surpass-ethereum-with-16-5-to-22-price-target/"> XRP might soon displace Ethereum as the second-largest cryptocurrency</a> by market capitalization. In a post on X last month, he suggested the token could overtake Ethereum’s position by 2025. 
To support his claim, Armstrong highlighted that XRP has achieved this ranking in the past; on January 7, 2017, the digital asset briefly surpassed Ethereum as the second-largest cryptocurrency. Although this status was not sustained, Armstrong speculates that recent developments could enable XRP to challenge Ethereum’s position. 
The idea of XRP surpassing Ethereum gains plausibility in light of Ripple’s advancements in securing global partnerships with financial institutions, which could increase the token’s liquidity and <a href="https://timestabloid.com/how-ripple-and-xrp-aim-to-revolutionize-27-trillion-cross-border-payment-market/">adoption in cross-border transactions</a>. 
Ethereum’s dominance has largely been attributed to its robust ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contract functionality. However, Armstrong suggests that XRP’s unique positioning as a bridge currency could lead to a more significant role in the global financial infrastructure. 
Ripple’s strategy of positioning XRP as a payment solution rather than a speculative asset aligns with this outlook, potentially making the token a safer bet for institutional investors looking to adopt blockchain technology without exposure to high-volatility assets. 
<h2 id="b-the-future-of-meme-coins-and-xrp-s-role-as-a-utility-asset-b">The Future of Meme Coins and XRP’s Role as a Utility Asset</h2> 
As the crypto market prepares for the next cycle, Armstrong’s predictions have fueled debates on the future trajectories of meme coins and XRP. Meme coins, known for their rapid value fluctuations driven by social media trends, may face challenges if investor sentiment shifts toward assets that promise real-world utility. 
XRP’s legal validation as a non-security asset could provide the foundation for broader adoption, particularly if regulatory clarity attracts cautious investors who previously refrained from high-risk assets like meme coins.
