XRP has made a historic comeback as the third largest coin by market capitalization, and the number of Google searches for 'XRP' now exceeds those for 'crypto'.

XRP, the cryptocurrency used by the U.S. blockchain payments firm Ripple, has made a historic comeback as the third largest coin by market capitalization, provoking reactions in the community.

XRP (XRP) fell out of the top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization in December 2020 when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple over allegations of facilitating an 'unregistered digital securities offering'.

With the SEC's demand nearly resolved and Ripple achieving several legal victories in 2024, XRP has surged, registering a huge increase in November following Donald Trump's victory in the United States presidential elections.
