$XRP (0.68%) & $BTC (+0.41%) are two of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world. Bitcoin remains far and away the most valuable, with a market cap of about $1.7 trillion. XRP at around $116 billion is just a small fraction of that, but that's still large enough to make it the fifth-largest cryptocurrency in the world today.
Both digital assets have been struggling of late, but both also have catalysts that could help drive their prices higher next year.
Despite their popularity, neither coin has been performing particularly well this year. Bitcoin has fallen sharply since reaching an all-time high back in October. XRP, which also started out promising, looks to be on track to finish the year in the red.
Heading into 2026, which of these cryptocurrencies looks to be a better buy: $Bitcoin or $XRP?
A CASE OF BITCOIN :
Bitcoin is the king of the crypto universe, and it enjoys a huge advantage in having strong name recognition that makes it well-known, even among people who don't buy and sell crypto. For anyone new to crypto, they might not know what XRP is or the thousands of other cryptocurrencies out there, but they will probably have heard of Bitcoin.

A CASE OF XRP :
Ripple, the company behind $XRP, has been building up an ecosystem that includes hundreds of banks and financial institutions throughout the world that are using its RippleNet platform. Over time, that can eventually lead to an increase in the use of Ripple's on-demand liquidity, which is where XRP is used to handle cross-border payments.
