  • Don't Buy XRP Until Altcoin Season Arrives, Analyst Says
    May 1, 2026, 9:29 PM EDT. XRP, a popular altcoin, trades around $1, down 62% from its 52-week high, as investors await altcoin season-a period when speculative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin. Analyst notes only 41 of top 100 cryptos have beaten Bitcoin in the past 90 days, signaling altcoin season is not near. XRP fell 28% over the same period; Ethereum and Solana also down. Geopolitical risks and delayed crypto regulation, like the CLARITY Act, may postpone altcoin season until late 2024 or 2027. Caution advised until better market sentiment emerges for crypto speculation.
