Ripple\u2019s XRP token has once again been dragged into crypto\u2019s ongoing tribal battles after being ridiculed as \u201cunwanted\u201d by the Litecoin (LTC) official X account.<\/p>\n
The jab triggered a storm of reactions, with traders, analysts, and community members pushing back, pointing to XRP\u2019s top-three position in global market cap rankings as evidence that there\u2019s still lots of love for it.<\/p>\n
The exchange began when the Litecoin account shared a tongue-in-cheek post declaring<\/a> XRP \u201cweighed and found unwanted.\u201d The quip, complete with a gavel emoji, was criticized even by some LTC supporters. \u201cYou win by promoting yourself, not attacking others,\u201d one user wrote, while others called the stunt \u201ccringe.\u201d<\/p>\n Analyst CrediBULL Crypto also weighed in, dismissing<\/a> the argument as \u201cunwanted,\u201d \u201csilly and nonsensical.\u201d He further stated:<\/p>\n \u201cIf the prevailing attitude towards $XRP was that it is a \u2018scam\u2019 or \u2018useless\u2019 or \u2018unwanted\u2019 it wouldn\u2019t still be the 3rd largest crypto in existence.\u201d<\/p>\n The expert argued that market participants usually vote with their dollars, noting the Ripple token\u2019s $168.4 billion market cap utterly dwarfs LTC\u2019s $8.6 billion. This vast difference in scale was not lost on other commentators either, with one user, Phil, posting, \u201c170.54B Mc $XRP vs 8.60B $LTC Mc\u2026 We\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n The episode highlights a long-running fault line in crypto. Last month, attorney John Deaton claimed<\/a> that XRP was \u201cthe most hated by institutions, most loved by retail,\u201d with critics arguing that its pre-mined supply and governance structure make it overly centralized. However, supporters insist the skepticism is rooted in rivalry from Bitcoin and Ethereum advocates.<\/p>\n Litecoin\u2019s diss also arrives as the project celebrates<\/a> its own milestones. As of July, the network had processed over 300 million transactions in 2025, seen a record hashrate of 2.7 PH\/s, and secured new integrations across PayPal, Venmo, and Telegram Wallet. Institutional interest is also growing, with ETF applications pending in the U.S.<\/p>\n Despite LTC\u2019s strong fundamentals, XRP remains the more valuable asset by a wide margin. At the time of this writing, XRP was trading at $2.83, down 5.6% over the past week and underperforming the broader market\u2019s 1.6% decline.<\/p>\n Still, its nearly $170 billion capitalization makes it the third-largest cryptocurrency globally, with only BTC and ETH ahead. Technical analysts see potential for further gains, with traders such as CRYPTOWZRD projecting<\/a> a move toward $4.50 if current support at $2.47 holds.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Litecoin is currently changing hands at $111.27 after slipping 1.9% in the last seven days, placing it at #28 by market cap. It has gained nearly 70% over the past year but remains more than 70% below its 2021 all-time high of $410.<\/p>\n The post LTC vs XRP: Litecoin Calls Ripple \u2018Unwanted,\u2019 Analyst Claps Back<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ripple\u2019s XRP token has once again been dragged into crypto\u2019s ongoing tribal battles after being ridiculed as \u201cunwanted\u201d by the Litecoin (LTC) official X account.
