XRP has rallied 8% in the last 24 hours to reach $2, boosting its market capitalization to about $123 million, per CoinMarketCap. This puts it back in fourth place among crypto assets, outranking BNB, which holds a market value of over $120 million.

Without counting stablecoins, XRP now sits behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin holds the top spot with a market cap of $1.8 trillion, followed by Ethereum at $377 billion.

On trading activity, XRP recorded a 175% surge over the past day, with volume rising to $3.8 billion. Despite the gains, the asset still trades roughly 44% below its July 2025 peak of $3.6.

The recent rally comes as the digital asset market shows renewed strength today, with Bitcoin reclaiming $90,000. Altcoin performance was also robust, with Ethereum advancing 4% to $3,100, Solana rising to $132, and BNB hitting $877.

Elsewhere, US spot XRP ETFs continue to defy market volatility, maintaining a perfect streak of daily inflows.

Since debuting in late 2025, these funds have attracted approximately $1.2 billion in net capital, with total assets under management now valued at $1.3 billion, per SoSoValue.
