SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG), a respected crypto researcher, recently shared findings that highlight XRP’s distinct position in the cryptocurrency market. He posted a document that examines how XRP has behaved differently from Bitcoin and Ethereum over the years.
The research, based on academic analysis, concludes that XRP shows no signs of forming a value bubble, setting it apart from the two largest digital assets.
It highlighted XRP’s rank as the third largest cryptocurrency by market value, following Bitcoin and Ethereum, and cited studies measuring price changes from 2013 to 2016, which found notable bubbles in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
However, XRP’s price patterns during that period showed no such distortion. This conclusion links XRP’s market stability to its technological foundation.

Technological Edge Over Bitcoin
The excerpt explains that XRP’s system operates differently from Bitcoin’s. Instead of relying on proof-of-work, XRP uses a consensus mechanism through the Unique Node List (UNL). For a transaction to be confirmed, at least 40% of over one hundred nodes must align. Once 80% agreement is achieved, a block is validated.
This mechanism enables transactions to be completed efficiently while maintaining transparency and anonymity in records. This is one of the reasons why XRP has been described as 120,000 times more energy efficient than Bitcoin.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz has also argued that XRP is more decentralized than proof-of-work blockchains due to its design. The analysis explains that Ripple’s approach offers advantages that limit the formation of speculative bubbles.
Fry, a researcher, noted that “the reason why no bubble exists in Ripple stems from the technological superiority of Ripple over Bitcoin.” This statement positions XRP as not just another cryptocurrency but as one with structural resilience against the kinds of market distortions seen in other leading digital assets.

Why This Matters for XRP’s Trajectory
The absence of a bubble in XRP reflects both stability and credibility, qualities that can strengthen investor confidence. While Bitcoin and Ethereum have faced volatility linked to speculative surges, XRP has maintained a market pattern less prone to such extremes. That resilience carries significance as digital assets continue to gain attention from financial institutions and policymakers.
The research also emphasizes that macroeconomic and financial conditions did not significantly impact XRP’s value during the study period, further suggesting its independence from external influences. This reinforces the view that XRP’s design provides a practical alternative for payments and settlements, aligning with its focus on utility rather than speculation.
For XRP holders, the findings signal a positive trajectory. If XRP continues to show structural resistance to bubbles while operating on efficient and scalable technology, it stands well-positioned as the cryptocurrency landscape evolves.
