XRP regained its spot as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, surpassing USDT at a market valuation of 141.06 billion USD. This rise marks a notable shift in the digital asset space. The stablecoin USDT trails close but remains behind at 137.08 billion USD.

Starting early December 2024, USDT’s market cap decreased by nearly 3 billion USD after exceeding 140 billion USD. Concurrently, XRP’s value, ignited by robust trading, appreciated by over 390% over 90 days, reflecting strong momentum in the market.

Since the start of 2025, XRP has seen a remarkable 17% price increase. Ripple’s recent strategic maneuver, moving 1 billion XRP from escrow, attracted significant interest. With a trading volume of 6.08 billion USD, XRP emphasizes its growing influence among top cryptocurrencies.
