- XRP has demonstrated resilience, outperforming top altcoins like Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Solana. XRP has seen a 6% increase on the monthly charts against negative returns for the rest.

As the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit nears its end, crypto market analysts believe that XRP is emerging as a safe haven digital asset in comparison to its other peers, such as Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Solana. This is because the Ripple cryptocurrency has shown greater resilience to the recent turbulence in the crypto market since the beginning of 2025.
After hitting a peak of $3.73 trillion market cap in December 2024, the crypto market has faced severe selling pressure. Top altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin have corrected by 15-20% on the monthly chart; however, XRP is up by 6% during the same timeframe.
Popular crypto market analyst Dom stated that the performance of XRP makes it a safe haven against digital assets in its group.
Why Is Ripple’s XRP A Safe Haven Asset?
In his recent analysis, analyst Dom showed how XRP has shown major outperformance against leading digital assets such as Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL), even while the broader crypto market faced major volatility.
While Ethereum suffered a 10.3% decline over the past week, including an 8% drop on January 7 alone, XRP demonstrated notable strength. XRP recorded an 8.7% gain during the same period. The XRP/ETH trading pair rose from 0.0006561 ETH on January 7 to 0.0008042 ETH on January 13, marking an impressive 22.5% outperformance by XRP against Ethereum.
Similarly, Dogecoin recorded a 10.8% drop over the past seven days. Consequently, the DOGE/XRP ratio shifted from 0.1597 on January 7 to 0.1315 on January 13, highlighting a 17.6% decline for DOGE relative to XRP.
Among all three cryptocurrencies in comparison, Solana (SOL) witnessed the steepest loss, plunging 15.7% during the last week. Furthermore, the SOL price also tanked under crucial support levels of $200 and $190. During this period, XRP outpaced Solana significantly, with the XRP/SOL ratio climbing from 0.0105 to 0.0137—a staggering 30% outperformance.
In his disclosure, Dom confirmed that XRP had broken out of its triangle pattern against Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Solana, signaling bullish momentum. He also highlighted that XRP reached a 1,400-day high against Ethereum, a 400-day peak against Dogecoin, and a 1,400-day top against Solana.
Will Trump Policies Help Ripple Cryptocurrency?
As noted in our earlier post, President-elect Donald Trump is likely to issue an executive order for crypto policies during the first day in office. This could probably bring a new phase of euphoria in the crypto market, benefitting altcoins like XRP, which have been hammered solely due to the regulatory actions of the Biden administration.
As covered in our latest post, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently shared a dinner with President-elect Donald Trump along with the company’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty. The gathering took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. This shows that Ripple is willing to work with the Trump administration and will play a crucial role in formulating the US crypto policy.
