Polkadot vs XRP: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 DOT = 0.77707 XRP.
By market capitalisation, XRP is the larger network — about 47.3× the size of Polkadot in AUD terms. Larger caps generally mean deeper liquidity on Australian exchanges and tighter spreads, while smaller caps can move more sharply on news or thin order books.
Over the past seven days, DOT is down 4.06% while XRP is down 6.00% — Polkadot has out-performed by 1.94 percentage points. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Polkadot and XRP on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping DOT for XRP — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
