XRP Surges Past Tether, Grabbing Third Spot in Market Capitalization

Ripple’s XRP has surged past Tether to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, driven by robust wallet growth and bullish investor sentiment. Over 638,000 new wallets were added in 2025, bringing the total to a record 6.46 million, demonstrating continued network activity despite market consolidation. This surge is fueled by increased adoption on platforms like Travala and favorable U.S. tax proposals.
