🔥🔥There was a brief period in 2017-2018 when $XRP (Ripple) surpassed $BTC (Bitcoin) in market capitalization. However, it was short-lived, and Bitcoin reclaimed its top spot.
On January 26, 2018, $XRP reached an all-time high market capitalization of around $147 billion, momentarily surpassing Bitcoin's market cap. However, this was largely due to a price surge driven by speculative buying and hype around Ripple's partnerships and technology.
Bitcoin has since maintained its position as the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, and the "Flippening" narrative has become more of a meme and a cautionary tale about the volatility and speculation in the cryptocurrency market.
