Wow, I just saw an interesting comparison about the performance of XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum since Trump was inaugurated in January 2025. Turns out, if you had invested $10,000 in those three assets back then, their value has now dropped drastically.

So here’s the deal, when Trump was inaugurated, Bitcoin was at 101K, Ethereum at 3.2K, and XRP at 2.95. But now? Bitcoin has fallen to 77.8K (, a 34% loss ), Ethereum dropped to 2.32K (, a 28% loss ), and XRP is the worst—down to 1.42 (, nearly a 52% loss ). If you look at the data from CoinMarketCap, the market capitalization of these three assets has also shrunk significantly. XRP suffered the most, with its market cap dropping from $170 billion to $87 billion.

What’s interesting is that some analysts are still optimistic. Some say XRP could hit $5-10 if there’s regulatory clarity, which means a 7x return from the current price. There’s even a crazier projection—up to $83 per token in 2026. For Bitcoin, the narrative of $1 million is still being discussed, especially after Eric Trump confirmed it again at Mar-a-Lago.

But yeah, this is a real test of patience. Many link this decline to Trump’s policies—tariffs that go up and down along with geopolitical situations. Still, the crypto market tends to cycle like this—corrections followed by big bounces. It all depends on your time horizon and risk tolerance.
