Bybit Report Highlights Bitcoin's Dominance and XRP's Rise in Cryptocurrency Portfolios

On June 25, 2025, Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, released a compelling asset allocation report for cryptocurrency holders for the first half of 2025. The report captures key shifts in investor behavior from October 2024 to May 2025, painting a vivid picture of the evolving landscape of digital asset investments.

Significant Findings

The data reveals that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) continue to dominate investor preferences, with the two tokens accounting for a staggering 58.8% of the total investment volume in volatile cryptocurrencies as of May. Notably, XRP surged past Solana (SOL) to claim the third-largest position among non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies, reflecting heightened optimism among institutional and retail investors.

After a notable rally, Bitcoin's presence in portfolios has increased significantly. As of May 2025, BTC comprises approximately 30.95% of total investor assets, marking a notable rise from 25.4% in November 2024. Investors are holding about $4 worth of BTC for every $1 invested in ETH, highlighting the cryptocurrency's strong market position.

Ethereum's performance, meanwhile, tells a different story. After hitting a low of 3.89% of asset stocks in April 2025, ETH has shown remarkable recovery but is still below its peak of 11.12% observed in November 2024. Thus, while Ethereum's bounce back indicates positive sentiment, it remains to be seen whether this momentum can sustain itself in the coming months.

XRP's Rapid Ascent

XRP's rise to prominence can largely be attributed to increasing institutional interest, buoyed by the potential approval of spot ETF funds for XRP by the SEC. The asset's allocation doubled from 1.29% to 2.42% between November 2024 and May 2025, solidifying its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency. Investors are increasingly optimistic that regulatory hurdles will be cleared, which could drive further demand for XRP.

Contrastingly, Solana has faced headwinds. After a momentous rise in Q3 2024, investment in Solana has plummeted by 35%, transitioning from 2.72% in November to just 1.76% by May 2025. This change reflects a broader shift in investor sentiment and capital distribution, raising questions about Solana's future in the crypto market.

Future Outlook

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, investors are closely monitoring these trends. The complete asset allocation report can be accessed on the Bybit Learn portal, offering a deeper dive into these insights and more.
