Recently, I have been comparing the trends of these two coins and found that the differences are quite significant. XRP is currently priced at $2.01 each, up 8.5% this week, but on the monthly chart, it still shows a decline of 7.36%, indicating considerable volatility. In contrast, Stellar's XLM is now priced at $0.2193, with only a 2.54% increase this week, clearly not as strong as XRP.

In terms of market capitalization, the gap is even more pronounced—XRP has already risen to the fourth position, with a market cap of $121.84 billion, while XLM only has $7.1 billion, a difference of nearly 17 times. This reflects market expectations and judgments about the future of these two chains.

From a forecast perspective, analysis institutions believe that XRP is expected to reach $2.51 by January 2027, leaving room for growth. Especially if institutional products like ETFs are launched, they could bring new growth momentum to such assets. In comparison, the outlook for XLM is less optimistic, with the price possibly falling to $0.2799.

Overall, the fundamentals and market enthusiasm of the two projects are indeed not on the same level.

XRP-2,06%

XLM-1,99%

let me break this down for you—if you examine the historical voting patterns across ripple's governance structure versus stellar's federated model, the market cap disparity isn't actually surprising at all. empirically speaking, xrp's institutional adoption precedent fundamentally shapes these tokenomics frameworks differently

ngl the XRP vs XLM spread here is giving major 2017 altseason vibes... except this time the capital actually concentrated in like 3 projects. that 17x marketcap gap though? statistically speaking, that's not volatility, that's just market consensus saying one's more useful than the other lmao

XRP has been doing well this week, but looking at the monthly chart, it's still in the red. The volatility is indeed quite intense. XLM is currently being crushed; its market cap is 17 times smaller. How do you play that? Once the ETF launches, XRP might really take off, but don't get too optimistic. Forecasts suggest $2.51 by 2027? Let's see if we make it that far first. Honestly, XRP just attracts more money, while XLM really doesn't have much heat.

XRP this wave is indeed fierce, but to be fair, an 8.5% weekly increase and a 7% monthly decrease, this volatility is really a bit of a tug-of-war. XLM is almost crushed into dust, a 17x difference is no joke. Only reaching 2.51 in 2027? Then it's better to go all in and wait for the next opportunity.

XRP this wave is indeed fierce, but I still think a 7% monthly drop is a bit scary. XLM... forget it, not looking anymore, the market cap is 17 times smaller. Rise to 2.51 in 2027? That will take a long time, let's see if I can still be around then. The key is the ETF launch; before institutional investors enter, it's all just gambling.

Oh wow, XRP is really strong this time, its market cap is directly surpassing XLM by a huge margin. The 2027 forecast is a bit far-fetched. Will the ETF launch save the day? XLM should have already cooled off; it seems no one cares. Those who followed the trend and bought XRP have all made money. Why didn't I jump on board last year?

XRP this wave is indeed fierce, but I still feel a bit heartbroken that the monthly chart dropped more than 7 points, can't beat the decline... XLM just accept it, with a market cap 17 times smaller, we have to face reality. But only rising to 2.51 by 2027? That doesn't seem like a profitable move. Only when the ETF really arrives will there be a chance.
