Crypto Rollercoasters: XRP and Solana's Wild Ride in 2025

In 2025, the crypto world saw some wild swings. XRP and Solana were the stars of the show, with price movements that made bitcoin look like a calm lake. While bitcoin's price was smooth sailing, XRP and Solana were more like rollercoasters. Over the past year, Solana's price jumped around 87%, and XRP wasn't far behind at 80%. Meanwhile, bitcoin was much steadier, only moving 43%. Other big coins like BNB and ether also had their ups and downs, with BNB at 55% and ether at 77%. This isn't the first time altcoins have been more unpredictable than bitcoin. But this time, it's a big deal because it shows that even with new investment options like ETFs, these coins still need more stability to catch up to bitcoin.Most of the top coins have futures and ETFs, which are supposed to bring in big investors. XRP ETFs have already pulled in over $1 billion since they started in November. Solana ETFs, which are newer, have gathered $763. 91 million. If this trend keeps up, it might help calm down the price swings, just like it did for bitcoin. Bitcoin ETFs, which started in January 2024, have brought in $56. 96 billion. This has made people more interested in advanced investment options and has helped stabilize bitcoin's price. Ether ETFs, which started trading in July 2024, have also seen a lot of interest, with $12. 4 billion in inflows. This shows that as more money flows into these investments, the prices might become less volatile.
