đ„JUST IN: BNB Surges Past XRP to Secure its Spot!
$BNB flips $XRP, officially becoming the 3rd largest cryptocurrency in the world by market capitalization right behind Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH).
đWhat Happened
Over the past few weeks, BNBâs price surged steadily as market confidence in Binanceâs ecosystem strengthened. A mix of renewed investor optimism, rising DeFi activity on BNB Chain, and declining momentum in XRPâs price after its recent rally led to this market cap shift.
According to CoinMarketCap data, BNB now sits above $XRP with a market value exceeding $X billion, marking its highest ranking since mid-2022.
đŻWhy It Matters
đčBNB Chainâs ecosystem continues expanding, hosting new dApps, gaming projects, and RWA integrations.
đčBinanceâs regulatory clarity in multiple regions (notably the EU and parts of Asia) has restored some institutional trust.
đčMeanwhile, XRPâs momentum cooled after the post-court ruling hype, as traders rotated capital into assets with stronger short-term growth narratives.
đThe Bigger Picture
This flip signals a power reshuffle in the top-tier crypto landscape, showing that despite headwinds, exchange-native tokens like BNB can maintain relevance through real utility and ecosystem growth.
