XRP surpasses BNB and claims the fourth position among the largest cryptocurrencies
Source: Yellow Original Title: XRP surpasses BNB and claims fourth position among the largest cryptocurrencies
Original Link: XRP overtook BNB in market capitalization, claiming the fourth position among the largest cryptocurrencies.
XRP’s market capitalization reached approximately $123.0 billion, surpassing BNB’s $121.0 billion.
The ranking change occurred on the second trading day of 2026 after an 8% increase in price.
XRP was trading near $2.01, while BNB was around $875.
What happened
XRP gained approximately 8% in 24 hours, driving the expansion of its market capitalization.
The cryptocurrency regained a position within the top five, which it has alternated with BNB multiple times throughout 2025.
Trading volumes increased significantly on major exchanges during the rally.
BNB showed a comparatively weaker price action in the same period, gaining less than 1% in 24 hours.
XRP’s 24-hour trading volume reached approximately $4.26 billion, compared to $2.4 billion for BNB.
This shift places XRP in third or fourth position, depending on whether stablecoins are included in the cryptocurrency rankings.
The XRP spot ETFs have attracted approximately $1.2 billion in net inflows since their launch in late 2025.
Why it matters
The ranking change reflects renewed confidence in XRP after years of regulatory uncertainty surrounding Ripple’s ongoing legal battles.
XRP has repeatedly outperformed BNB throughout 2025, reaching similar positions in January, July, and October at different price levels.
Market participants attribute XRP’s strength to greater regulatory clarity and increasing institutional interest through spot ETF products.
The cryptocurrency’s utility in cross-border payments sets it apart from tokens linked to exchanges like BNB, which face increased regulatory scrutiny.
Rankings between XRP and BNB have proven volatile, with both cryptocurrencies competing for the same market cap range.
The change occurred despite the overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market remaining in “extreme fear” territory, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.
