Better Buy: XRP vs Bitcoin #CriptoNews

Financial Insights That Matter

The crypto market is abuzz after a bit of a lull in March. Things are getting active and volatile again.

For example, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is up 3% in five hours as I’m writing this in the morning of March 31. The oldest and largest cryptocurrency is also down 5% in the last week and 7% in a month.

Likewise, the rising XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) coin has gained 4.4% in 5 hours, but it still dropped 17% in a week and 39% in a month.

Crypto investors are cycling through several emotions and attitudes these days. Sometimes it looks like the Trump administration will send the whole crypto sector to the moon. Five minutes later, people are racing for the exits because of new tariffs and rising inflation risks. Nobody wants to hold speculative cryptocurrencies in a shaky economy, right?

I’ll revisit these sentiments in a minute. First, you should know that I’m a crypto buyer in general. I expect the best of these newfangled currency and transaction systems to gain value in the long run. If you disagree with this basic principle, you’ll probably be happier reading about the best dividend stocks and gold-based investments to hold in the long run. Go ahead; it’s OK. I’ll be here if you ever change your mind.

On that note, I want to see whether XRP or Bitcoin is the better investment in April 2025. Has a modest discount on “digital gold” opened a game-changing buying window? Will XRP bounce back from this big dip with a jet pack on its shoulders?

Let’s find out.

“Bitcoin maximalists” believe that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that matters. It was created to hold (and grow) monetary value in the long run, and no other digital asset can replace it. If you’re investing in this sector at all, you should stock up on actual Bitcoin holdings, perhaps supplemented with exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on spot Bitcoin prices such as the popular iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ: Will go). Some might consider stocks in companies that own, buy, and perhaps create Bitcoin.

But that’s kind of stretching the “maximalist” idea a bit. Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) chairman Michael Saylor might concede that his own company could be a strong investment, since Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is pulling every available lever to buy more Bitcoin. But really, owning Bitcoin itself is the best way to store cash in Saylor’s opinion.

From this point of view, every Bitcoin price drop looks like a buying opportunity. If Bitcoin is destined to rise from less than $100,000 to several million dollars per coin in the long run, perhaps it’s best just to dollar-cost average this cryptocurrency and keep investing a fixed amount every month, no matter what the price chart looks like.
