Since the beginning of the new year, the crypto market has continued to record incredible growth, and all leading cryptocurrencies, including $XRP, are reclaiming previous levels.
Amid this sustained rally, $XRP is finally back to the top-four spot again as it has now flipped $BNB as the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
Nonetheless, $XRP boldly ranks at the third position after Bitcoin and Ethereum if stablecoins are excluded.
$XRP reclaims $122 billion in market capitalization
On Saturday, Jan. 3, $XRP was spotted outpacing $BNB in market capitalization as it finally reclaimed its long-lost $122,000,000,000 level following a notable surge of over 6%.
$BNB’s market capitalization, on the other hand, now stands at about $120,310,000,000 with a mild surge of just 0.65%.
This positive growth has been mirrored across the broad $XRP ecosystem as its trading activity has also skyrocketed by over 140%, reaching a massive $4.14 billion. While it appears that demand for the asset has grown significantly over the past days, the surge in its on-chain movements signals renewed interest among small and large $XRP traders.
Amid the rapid surge in $XRP’s key metrics, $XRP has achieved the highest price surge among all top five cryptocurrencies over the last day, flipping Bitcoin, Ethereum and $BNB in daily price gains.
Notably, $XRP has surged massively by about 5.79% over the last day, and it is currently hovering around the long-lost $2 mark, according to data provided by the source.
$XRP ETFs extend inflow streak till 2026
$XRP has also extended this positive momentum to its ETF ecosystem, which has continued to see steady inflows till the new year.
As of Jan. 2, $XRP ETFs saw about $13.59 million in inflow as momentum continues to build, signaling strong investor confidence across the $XRP ecosystem.
