Why Ripple’s XRP is The Chosen One vs Bitcoin | The Truth Revealed

Why Ripple’s XRP is The Chosen One vs Bitcoin | The Truth Revealed
Fun Fact: Did you know that some of the engineers who worked on Bitcoin, later moved on to work on the XRP Ledger? This led to a new era of the blockchain, where payments and settlements became primary focus. Fast settlement times, speedy transactions, and billions worth of saving. XRP is shaping the game of money, cross border payment transactions, and even entering the world of lending institutions and payment processing!

Why Ripple’s XRP is The Chosen One vs Bitcoin | The Truth Revealed


At Gold Shark Media, we empower entrepreneurs and investors with insights into game-changing technologies. Ripple’s XRP and RLUSD are set to eclipse Bitcoin, revolutionizing real estate and banking in 2025 and beyond.


Why XRP Is the Chosen One Over Bitcoin

XRP, built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), is a decentralized digital asset optimized for payments, settling transactions in 3-5 seconds at near-zero cost. Bitcoin, by contrast, takes 10-60 minutes per transaction, with fees often exceeding $10, and its energy-intensive mining consumes 305 TWh annually—equivalent to a small country’s power usage. XRP’s consensus mechanism is eco-friendly, processing 1,500 transactions per second vs. Bitcoin’s 7, making it ideal for real-time financial applications.


RLUSD, Ripple’s USD-pegged stablecoin launched in December 2024, adds stability, unlike Bitcoin’s volatility (e.g., 20% price swings in 2024). Regulated by the NYDFS, RLUSD is perfect for real estate deals. The SEC lawsuit resolution in June 2025, settled for $50 million, confirms XRP as a currency, not a security, clearing the path for adoption Reuters, March 25, 2025.


Institutional Backing Signals XRP’s Dominance


Major institutions are choosing XRP over Bitcoin:


  • J.P. Morgan Chase, Santander, Standard Chartered, Bank of America use XRP for cross-border payments, unlike Bitcoin’s limited banking integration.

  • SBI Holdings (Japan) leverages XRP for remittances.

  • Ernst & Young (2024): 20% of institutional investors hold XRP, while Bitcoin’s institutional share stagnates.

  • BlackRock explores XRP ETFs, with Teucrium’s XXRP ETF launching April 8, 2025 CoinDesk, May 26, 2025.


Ripple’s acquisitions (SimpleHoney, Metaco, Fortress Trust, Standard Custody) bolster its ecosystem, while Bitcoin lacks comparable corporate momentum.


XRP’s Superior Applications for Entrepreneurs


XRP and RLUSD outperform Bitcoin in real estate and banking. Here's how:


  1. Mortgage Lending: XRP cuts transaction times by 60%, saving $30,000 per $429,000 deal. Bitcoin’s slow settlements are impractical Primior, 2025.

  2. Investor Loans: RLUSD’s stability enables low-cost loans for rental properties, unlike Bitcoin’s price swings that deter lenders.

  3. Tokenized Assets: XRP Ledger’s tokenization, as in Dubai’s $16 billion project, supports fractional ownership, attracting global capital. Bitcoin’s blockchain can’t handle tokenization efficiently.


Financial Projections: XRP’s Trillion-Dollar Edge

The global tokenized asset market is projected to reach $3 trillion by 2030, with XRP-driven real estate potentially capturing $500 billion worldwide and $100 billion in the U.S., driven by its integration into banking and property transactions (XRPL Commons, 2025). Analysts predict XRP’s price could hit $2.50-$15.00 by Q4 2025, fueled by institutional adoption and ETF launches, compared to Bitcoin’s slower growth due to high fees and volatility (Coinpedia, 2025). XRP’s near-zero fees and opportunities like Teucrium’s XXRP ETF maximize returns, while Bitcoin’s $10+ transaction costs and lack of auditing (e.g., MicroStrategy’s debated leverage) raise risks (Forbes, 2025). XRP’s cybersecurity and unit of account on the XRPL ensure trust, unlike Bitcoin’s exposure to bad actors (Ripple, 2025).



Why XRP Is the Future

Having invested in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others since 2015, I find XRP unmatched:


  • Efficiency: XRP’s speed and cost crush Bitcoin’s outdated model.

  • Integration: XRP competes with SWIFT, with potential partnerships, while Bitcoin remains isolated.

  • Stability: RLUSD eliminates volatility, critical for real estate, where Bitcoin fails.


Economic challenges—high interest rates, $10 eggs, housing shortages—demand solutions. XRP and RLUSD can save billions in fees, streamline transactions, and empower investors, making XRP the chosen one.
