• Myongji University’s study reveals XRP’s exceptional concentration of positive returns.
• The research emphasizes the reliability of cryptocurrency return predictions, with trading volume consistently emerging as the leading indicator.
• XRP, like BTC and ETH, is identified as a potential risk management asset against the US dollar and gold.

Myongji University in South Korea has revealed groundbreaking insights regarding the predictability and dynamics of Cryptocurrency returns, explicitly focusing on XRP, Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH). 

Their study, “Predicting Cryptocurrency Returns: In-Sample and Out-of-Sample Analysis,” published in the 27th volume of the East Asian Economic Review, brings to light the distinctive characteristics of XRP within the cryptocurrency market.

A notable finding from Myongji University’s research is the remarkable concentration of positive returns associated with XRP. In contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which display skewed return distributions towards the left, signifying a higher concentration of negative returns, XRP’s return distribution skews towards the right. In simpler terms, XRP exhibits a noteworthy propensity for generating positive returns, rendering it an intriguing option for cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors.

The study underscores the reliability of predictions for cryptocurrency returns, consistently identifying trading volume as the primary leading indicator. It suggests that when market risks intensify, the demand for XRP, BTC, and ETH experiences an upsurge, resulting in increased asset returns. This discovery has significant implications for investors striving to make well-informed decisions in the volatile cryptocurrency arena.

Furthermore, the research identifies XRP, much like BTC and ETH, as a potential asset for risk management against the US dollar and gold. Although the gold and US dollar index (DXY) estimates displayed negativity in XRP return prediction regressions, similar to Ethereum, these findings were not statistically significant. Nonetheless, this underscores XRP’s potential as a hedge against uncertainties in the market, further cementing its position within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
