In Q3, both coins generally rally, with XRP positive in every year and Solana positive in four of five years.
"XRP's Q2 performance over the last five years has been somewhat bearish. Per Cryptorank, XRP gained 21.2% in 2021 but dropped by 59.4%, 11.9%, and 25% across 2022, 2023, and 2024-driven by the Terra/Luna collapse, the SEC lawsuit, and a significant drop in on-chain activity. The 7% gain in 2025 wasn't enough to offset those losses, leaving holders since 2021 with an average -13.6% Q2 return across the five years."
"Solana's performance in Q2 follows a familiar pattern, with the coin recording more gains than XRP, but also suffering steeper declines. Per Cryptorank, Solana gained 82.5% in 2021 but fell 72.7%, 10.4%, and 27.9% across 2022, 2023, and 2024. A 24% gain in Q2 2025 brought its five-year average to about -1%, which still makes Solana the better Q2 performer of the two over the last five years."
"Q3 shows both coins enjoy a sustained rally after battling bearish pressure in the second quarter. XRP closed every Q3 in the green over the last five years, with compounded gains of roughly 249% across that stretch. Solana also performed well, with positive returns in four out of five years. The biggest move was a roughly 300% gain in 2021, with smaller gains of 13%, 3.98%, and 34.9% across 2023, 2024, and 2025."
"The only exception was 2022, when the Solana price posted a modest 1.20% loss. Despite the bearish Q2 periods over the last five years, Solana"
