Ripple's cryptocurrency $XRP is experiencing a period of growth and great visibility in the market. It recently became the third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, surpassing Solana, USDC and BNB, and trailing only Bitcoin and Ethereum. This position reflects a consistent recovery after years of facing legal challenges with the SEC, which slowed its evolution but did not impede its progress.
Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 elections has brought optimism to the crypto market, with expectations of a more favorable regulatory environment in the United States. XRP, in particular, has seen significant gains, driven by rumors of a strategic partnership between Ripple and the Trump administration. In addition, Ripple is close to launching its own stablecoin, RLUSD, which promises to integrate with its cross-border payments solutions, reinforcing the use of XRP in this ecosystem.
In the long term, the market is questioning whether XRP will be able to surpass Ethereum in market capitalization, something that would depend on a significant jump in price and adoption. With its history of resilience and technological innovation, the currency remains one of the most dynamic assets in the crypto market.
