The price of XRP has dramatically lagged this year, failing to revisit its peak value set in January 2018, while other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin rallied double-digits to new historic highs this week. A popular lawyer in the crypto space has responded to criticism regarding XRP’s disappointing performance, disclosing why the crypto has lagged behind Bitcoin’s price gains. XRP Is The Worst Performer Among Crypto Majors A crypto pundit going by the online alias ScamDetective5 observed on the X social media platform that the price of Bitcoin has more than doubled this year, rising over 117% to a new all-time high above $76,000. Meanwhile, XRP’s price has sunk by nearly 25% during the same timeframe. He suggested that investors should not listen to analysts claiming XRP has a greater price return potential because the coin’s performance discredits such statements. In response, lawyer Bill Morgan said ScamDetective was “obsessed” with XRP. Morgan acknowledged XRP’s lackluster performance, noting that the coin ranks as the worst-performing coin among the top 10 cryptocurrencies over the past year. The attorney claimed that XRP’s laggard price action stems from the legal battle between the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple. He pointed out that XRP has been mired in the suit for four years, putting bearish pressure on its price.
