The XRP (XRP) price is struggling to keep up with a broader crypto market rebound on Thursday, rising just 1.4% in 24 hours as per CoinMarketCap versus gains of 3.5% for Bitcoin (BTC) and 4.5% for Solana (SOL), with XRP’s market cap having recently slipped below that of US dollar stablecoin Circle USD (USDC).

Down more than 20% on the month and trading just above $0.50, XRP’s market cap was last around $27.67 billion. That’s nearly $4.5 billion less than USDC’s market cap of just over $33 billion. XRP’s coin ranking it now number 7, with USDC taking the 6th spot.

XRP Alternative to Consider – 5thScape (5SCAPE).

XRP’s near-term technical outlook is ugly. The token may well continue to keep pace with its better-performing rivals for the remainder of 2024.

After all, Bitcoin sits at the forefront of global adoption in wake of recent US spot ETF approvals. ETH, while still facing regulatory risk, is a much more dynamic chain and remains the major home of DeFi.

Investors looking to take their first steps into the crypto market would likely do better choosing either of these two.

Alternatively, for more risk-tolerant investors looking to secure higher gains, a good strategy to consider is presale investing.

Up-and-coming web3 projects often conduct fundraising rounds to pay for early developments via the sale of their native token.

These tokens are normally sold at a very cheap valuation to attract intrepid investors.

Of course, presale investing is very risky too. A project may fail to...
