Recently, Cobb (@AlexCobb_), a well-known commentator in the XRP community on X, shared a notable change in Google’s search results.
A search for Bitcoin’s price no longer displays the familiar price chart, a feature that had long been present in Google’s results for cryptocurrency queries.
Meanwhile, a search for XRP’s price still returns a price chart, leading to speculation on Google’s reasons for the change.

Several users in the community were quick to weigh in. Common Sense Crypto (@TheCSCrypto), another prominent figure in the community, suggested that this change signals a shift in perception.
“Even Google knows it’s done & time to move on to the real $btc which is $xrp,” he wrote, implying that the digital asset could be viewed as the successor to Bitcoin.
Other users echoed similar sentiments, with one user suggesting that Google might have insider knowledge about the future of cryptocurrencies, specifically favoring XRP.
More Community Responses
One user commented, “It was, and always has been inevitable that all paths lead to $XRP,” referencing its increasing prominence in discussing utility and global partnerships.
Thanks to Ripple’s increasing prominence in global finance through strategic partnerships, XRP’s adoption is rising and experts expect this to affect the price of the digital asset’s price positively.
Many in the community speculate that XRP could play a central role in the future of finance, although opinions on this remain divided within the broader cryptocurrency community.

What Does the Change in Search Mean?
Not all responses were as speculative. Several users pointed out a more straightforward explanation for the change. One user clarified that Google had moved Bitcoin’s price chart to a dedicated section within Google Finance, rather than displaying it directly in search results.
This move has led to a more segmented user experience when accessing cryptocurrency data, but it does not suggest any bias or favoritism by Google.
Despite this explanation, the fact that XRP’s price chart remains easily accessible in search results while Bitcoin’s does not has continued to fuel debate about XRP’s superiority, especially after recent comments from an ex-Ripple executive who argued that XRP is superior to Bitcoin.
At press time, Google has not yet applied the same policy to XRP, leaving the discrepancy in place and prompting ongoing questions about why the change was implemented differently for these two cryptocurrencies.
