TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Brandt asked his almost 800K X followers whether they\u2019d invest $100K in XRP or SOL, triggering a heated debate.<\/p>\n

SOL was praised for its meme coin ecosystem, while XRP fans cited ETF hopes and Ripple\u2019s major acquisitions.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

Which One?<\/h2>\n

The veteran trader Peter Brandt <\/span>took to X to ask his audience which of these two crypto assets they\u2019d pick for a $100,000 investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say I will buy $100,000 of either $XRP<\/a> or $SOL<\/a> this week \u2014 no other option but ONLY one of the two please
\nWhich one? State your case
\n40 words max or I\u2019ll ignore
\nRemember, XRP or SOL \u2013 only choices pic.twitter.com\/cNikoRICfd<\/a><\/p>\n

The question caused a clash of opinions, with numerous users presenting valuable points that supported both sides. Some people outlined positive trends observed on SOL\u2019s price chart, but Brandt said he takes different factors into account. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Solana proponents also claimed that the asset is popular among the younger generations, reminding <\/span>that<\/span> the blockchain platform is the base for many meme coins. \u201cXRP is [a] boomer coin now without any use case,\u201d one user <\/span>argued<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Others, though, envisioned a breakout for Ripple\u2019s native token. Some XRP Army members commenting on the post below outlined that multiple companies have displayed their intentions to launch a spot XRP ETF, and approval from the SEC could positively impact the price of the underlying token.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting, though, that several companies have also filed for a Solana ETF. In fact, the chances of a green light this year are higher for SOL ETFs than XRP funds, at least according to Polymarket (87% vs. 83%).<\/p>\n

Outside the ETF battle between the two, Ripple has recently demonstrated its financial strength, <\/span>acquiring<\/span><\/a> Hidden Road for over $1.2 billion and reportedly <\/span>entering<\/span><\/a> a multi-billion-dollar acquisition battle for Circle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe narrative around Ripple\u2019s acquisitions of Hidden Road & possible acquisition of Circle will likely drive strong speciation. Plus, <\/span>all<\/span> the headway Ripple is making in the UAE with licenses, tokenization, and more. The Solana narrative does not come close,\u201d X user Ripples <\/span>stated<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandt\u2019s Stance on the Assets<\/span><\/h2>\n

Over the past months, the well-known trader has expressed views on both assets, and it will be interesting to see which one he picks as a better investment choice. He touched upon the SOL\/ETH chart a month ago, <\/span>claiming<\/span><\/a> that SOL \u201chas lots of room to gain on its invalid cousin ETH.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in the day, Brandt was known as an XRP critic. In 2020, he <\/span>argued<\/span><\/a> that the token \u201cwould have been declared (as) a security\u201d if the SEC \u201cunderstood cryptos.\u201d Last year, he <\/span>forecasted<\/span><\/a> that the XRP\/BTC chart \u201cis headed toward zero.\u201d Earlier in 2025, though, he <\/span>apologized<\/span><\/a> to the Ripple community for his harsh stance in the past:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn Olive Branch to XRP holders. Accept it if you will, reject it if you must, but I offer it with good intent. Over the years, I have taken some hard shots at you and your XRP asset. I admit my rudeness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A month before the apology, Brandt acknowledged the asset\u2019s price rally and described the XRP\/USD chart as \u201cthe most powerful chart in the crypto world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
