TL;DR
- Crypto markets are on fire, with BTC hitting new highs and altcoins soaring. XLM has outperformed XRP, but the year is far from over.
“While both XLM and XRP have strong fundamentals and growth potential, XRP is poised to perform better in 2025 due to its larger market cap, institutional adoption, regulatory tailwinds, and stronger price momentum.”
Perplexity noted:
“Ripple (XRP) is favored to outperform Stellar (XLM) in 2025 due to its higher price targets, stronger institutional adoption, and more significant market catalysts.”
Why Can’t XLM Win?
Although they didn’t completely rule out XLM, the AIs were pretty convinced that XRP would dominate this year. ChatGPT admitted that Stellar has not seen any legal cases, unlike Ripple, but has not received “explicit regulatory clarity” either, which is not really benefiting it.
It added that XLM doesn’t have the same level of “institutional legal defense or presence” and lacks the depth or visibility of XRP. Moreover, the AI chatbot said XLM is “more focused on retail remittances and humanitarian aid,” which are practical but “smaller-scale use cases in terms of transaction volume.”
Despite its most recent weekly surge, XLM is less than 40% up this year as it entered 2025 at approximately $0.32. It remains 50% away from its all-time high, which was set in January 2018.
XRP’s YTD gains are similar (34%) as it went into the new year at $2.08 and is now just over $2.8. Interestingly, its ATH was also set in January 2018 at $3.4, but XRP managed to match it this year. Although it failed there, the asset is now just 17.5% away from breaking into uncharted territory.
This, however, could be considered one of the few advantages XLM has over XRP, as it has more room for growth, which is visible this week. Still, the AIs didn’t give much chance for Stellar’s token to win in 2025.
“Stellar (XLM) is likely to see steady growth but is not expected to match XRP’s performance unless it achieves a major breakthrough in adoption or technology,” said Perplexity.
