Bitcoin's top is still far from形成。Look at the 2026 outlook——a large-scale influx of institutional funds into the crypto market is highly likely, and this upward cycle has just begun. BTC's performance often leads the entire market, and XRP, as an important cross-border payment asset, has shown in past trends that its correlation with BTC is quite high. There's no need to deceive ourselves; XRP's technological advantages in the payment field do exist, but honestly, as long as BTC, the market indicator, continues to rise, XRP will basically follow the upward trend. This round of institutional entry cycle may break many people's expectations.

BTC-0,12%

XRP-0,37%

Based on on-chain data, this wave is indeed still early. The correlation coefficient for institutional entry is generally above 0.87, indicating a much higher correlation than in previous cycles. I agree with the logic that XRP tends to follow the market, but here's a risk warning—assets that overly depend on BTC's trend often experience sharper declines during extreme volatility. Historical data shows that cryptocurrencies with higher correlation tend to fall by an average of over 40% in bear markets.

Following BTC is the way to go; XRP's technical advantages are nothing in front of a bull market🤦

Just started? Then I need to keep adding to my position. 2026 is definitely worth looking forward to.

The institutions haven't really entered the market yet; it's a bit early to say that now. Let's wait and see until next year.

Institutional entry is indeed the core logic of this round, but to be honest, XRP still needs BTC to lead the way; no matter how strong the technology is, it's all in vain.

If this wave of institutional investment really comes in, we retail investors need to keep up with BTC's rhythm, and XRP will definitely follow the trend.

When institutions really arrive, we will profit; if they don't come, there's nothing we can do. Anyway, I'm just copying BTC's homework, following the trend with XRP is fine.

Really, only when BTC hits a new high will it go further. If institutions really enter the market in this wave, what will happen by 2026... XRP following the trend is normal, but I just want to know how high this wave can go.

Institutional entry has been evident for a while. I'm just worried that it will be another round of cutting leeks. Can it really take off in 2026?
