Bybit Report Reveals Bitcoin's Dominance in Crypto Portfolios Amid XRP's Rise
Bybit Report Highlights Shifts in Crypto Portfolio Allocation
In a recent announcement, Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has unveiled its latest report on the asset allocation of cryptocurrency holders for the first half of 2025. The findings showcase notable trends in investment patterns amongst digital asset holders, particularly focusing on Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and XRP.
Key Findings
Bitcoin's Significant Market Share
According to the report, Bitcoin continues to hold a commanding position in the cryptocurrency market, with a staggering 30.95% share of total investments held by traders. This figure marks a substantial increase from the 25.4% recorded in November 2024, illustrating the growing reliance on Bitcoin as a primary asset. In an intriguing detail, the report shows that investors now tend to maintain a holding ratio of 0.27 ETH to 1 BTC, indicating a strong preference for Bitcoin over Ether among portfolio managers.
Ether's Resurgence
Ether, despite its fluctuating value, has shown signs of recovery. After dipping to a low of 3.89% in April 2025, Ether rebounded significantly, culminating in a total market share of 11.12% by May. This resurgence aligns with optimistic speculation regarding Ethereum's capabilities and applications in various sectors beyond mere transactional use.
XRP's Ascendancy
Rising to prominence, XRP has surpassed Solana (SOL) to claim the position of the third-largest cryptocurrency, excluding stablecoins. The report reveals that XRP's market share experienced a noteworthy increase from 1.29% to 2.42% over a short span, largely attributed to the surge of optimism surrounding the potential approval of spot ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As institutional and retail interest in XRP amplifies, its trajectory may suggest further growth in upcoming quarters.
Solana's Decline
In contrast, Solana has experienced a significant decline in market interest. Once thriving during the bullish momentum of Q3 2024, its market share plummeted by 35%, dropping from 2.72% in November 2024 to just 1.76% in May 2025. This downturn hints at a palpable shift in investor sentiment and capital allocation strategies within the market.
