Ripple’s XRP token and Cardano (ADA) are among the most popular cryptocurrencies in the market. Despite their popularity, both crypto assets have faced substantial headwinds over the last few years. XRP has struggled to reclaim the $1 mark since late 2021, while ADA last traded above $1 in April 2022, over two years ago.

XRP’s lacklustre performance over the last few years is likely due to Ripple’s lawsuit with the SEC. The financial watchdog recently settled its suit with the fintech company in the US High Court.

On the other hand, Cardano’s (ADA) poor performance is likely due to the general bearishness that has loomed over the crypto market in the last couple of years. ADA is one of the most developmentally active crypto projects, but it has failed to garner mass public support since the 2021 bull run.

Which Cryptocurrency Will Hit $1 First?

For Ripple’s XRP token to hit $1, the asset has to rally by more than 81%. ADA, meanwhile, has to rally by more than 212% to reach the same price level.

According to Changelly analysts, XRP may breach the $1 mark in 2025, hitting a potential maximum price of $1.18.
