XRP Lags Bitcoin and Solana With 17% Loss in 2026
Original: Why Is XRP Still Down 17% for 2026 When Bitcoin and Solana Are Almost Even?
XRP is still down about 17% for 2026, even though major rivals like Bitcoin and Solana have roughly recovered to flat for the year. The gap is prompting questions among crypto investors about why the Ripple-linked token is underperforming the broader market, with holders weighing whether the weakness reflects XRP-specific pressures or just a delayed rebound.
Why now: Investors are comparing XRP's unusually weak 2026 performance against other major cryptocurrencies that have recovered.
