Once a top dog in the crypto world, Ripple’s XRP has been quietly losing ground. Bogged down by legal battles, its market cap has shrunk to $25.9 billion, pushing it out of the elite tier of digital assets. The rise of Circle’s USDC to the sixth top most valuable digital asset displaced XRP further downwards.
Could XRP be facing extinction, or is there a chance for a comeback?
If the Telegram-backed Toncoin continues with the same growth rate in the coming months, XRP may soon be outshone.
The global XRP community has faced diminished esteem compared to other Web3 projects due to intensified legal scrutiny. Despite being older than Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and BNB, XRP continues to lag behind these newer competitors.
Interestingly, the Ethereum ecosystem is anticipating the listing of spot Ether ETFs following the US SEC’s decision to drop investigations into securities violations. The Solana network could also see its first spot ETFs launched in Canada soon.
Despite the challenges, the Ripple team remains optimistic about a brighter future with clearly defined regulations in the United States. Following last year’s ruling that XRP sales on exchanges do not violate securities laws, Ripple has accelerated developments on the XRPL.
Notably, Ripple plans to launch a U.S. dollar stablecoin on the XRPL and Ethereum network later this year. Additionally, Ripple has launched an XRPL EVM sidechain to facilitate multichain Web3 developments.
After more than six years of macro triangular consolidation, the XRP price is nearing its apex, signaling an inevitable breakout. According to a popular crypto analyst known as Captain Faibik, the XRP price has already bottomed out from the recent Bitcoin-led crypto correction.
As a result, the analyst believes that the XRP price against the US dollar is well primed for a 300 percent rally towards $2 in the near term.
