While cautioning that \u201cderivatives based products are nowhere near as high in the list of demand for investors as the spot products would be,\u201d he cited that precedent alongside the strength of XRP\u2019s retail community. According to Seyffart, a \u201cpseudo spot product from Rex Osprey that went through a whole bunch of loopholes and end arounds to try and get exposure to spot Solana with staking\u201d has also \u201cdone very well,\u201d but not enough to alter his near\u2011term ranking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think in the near term, I would bet on XRP, but over the long term, I’d probably bet on Sol getting more assets,\u201d Seyffart continued, pointing to mass\u2011market familiarity with XRP narratives\u2014\u201canyone I know who doesn’t really know this space at all\u2026they like XRP. They think it’s gonna be the backend settlement system for all banks\u201d\u2014and the persistent volume of XRP\u2011related discussion across TikTok, Reddit and other social platforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ground game is unreal,\u201d he said, before adding that institutional conversations skew differently: \u201cFrom an institutional point of view\u2026there seems to be a lot more serious people looking at Solana\u2026definitely I lean Solana or Ethereum from my point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hougan concurred with the sequencing. \u201cI actually agree. I think XRP would do better out of the gate,\u201d he said, emphasizing that the intensity of a committed minority, rather than broad sentiment, drives day\u2011one ETF flows. \u201cI think the average opinion of Solana is better than it is for XRP across crypto investors, but that’s not who buys the ETF on day one. It’s the passion, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Recounting his experience at an XRP\u2011focused event, he underscored the depth of that base: \u201cI went to an XRP conference in Vegas on a Saturday. There were 1,200 people in the room. Every seat was taken. That’s crazy\u2026There is an army of people who are really passionate about XRP, and I think it would do exceptionally well out of the gate. It doesn’t matter, again, that 90% of people hate it. What matters is 10% of people love it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hougan added that Solana\u2019s eventual trajectory would depend on its \u201cnarrative transition,\u201d suggesting a shifting storyline around the network could influence timing-sensitive allocations. \u201cIf Solana is ripping\u2026it would do well,\u201d he said. \u201cBut my base case out of the gate would be XRP, at least for the first few months.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taken together, the analysts\u2019 assessments outline a bifurcated path: an early surge in XRP spot ETF inflows propelled by a highly mobilized retail constituency, followed by a potential reversion in which Solana, benefiting from deeper institutional engagement and evolving narratives, could surpass XRP in total assets over time.<\/p>\n
At press time, XRP traded at $3.06.<\/p>\n
