    XRP jumps 20% in a week as traders rotate beyond bitcoin and ether

    CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos reports on why XRP is leading crypto’s early-2026 rally, with investors treating it as a targeted alternative to bitcoin and ether — drawn by its cross-border payments pitch and steady inflows that held up even through the Q4 dip.

      as usual CNBC is clueless about what XRP is all about….XRP will have the best ROI in the next 5 years of any digital asset ……BUY before its too late………

      Interesting that XRP’s rally is gaining momentum as a BTC/ETH alternative, especially with the market’s focus on cross border solutions. Alongside that, the BingX Championship running until January 12th could reward traders with a share of 80,000 USDT, making it a great time to jump in and trade through the final phase.

      Listening to hosts on CNBC stumble on the subject of crypto — asking inane questions such as "…are investors, just looking for the next thing." — it's telling that utility fintech software like XRP and Solana, with valid "use case" technologies, are still being discussed at the frivolous "meme level" by the network's experts. When one of them threw out the simplistic comment that "…Solana is the fastest…" we asked Gemini AI to weigh in on the sujbect. Here is the result when the right question was asked about outdated Swift messaging and increasing the speed of cross-border payments by worldwide financial institutions: Solana has very fast "optimistic" finality (<1s), but full "max" finality (when a transaction is 100% irreversible) typically takes about 12 seconds. At 3–5 seconds, XRP may be rated by some analysts as slower than Solana. However, XRP reaches "deterministic finality" (the point where a transaction cannot be reversed) in the same 3–5 seconds! Making the case that it's time for CNBC to hire an unbiased crypto expert from the crypto community that can credibly discuss crypto technalities, on the same level as stock market analysts who discuss EBITDA.

      The only reason they are talking about XRP is because Wall Street has purchased XRP and they have it available to sell to retail investors in the form of an ETF. The sad part about this is these same investors can purchase XRP from the exchanges for much lower prices. If you are new to this I'm going to leave you with this. NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR CRYPTO. You may want to ask AI about this.
