XRP has reclaimed its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after a recent price rally lifted the token above a key resistance level. The asset rose to around $1.53, gaining roughly 11% over the past week and pushing its market value to about $93.4 billion.

The move allowed XRP to surpass BNB in market rankings while breaking through the $1.40 resistance zone. Trading activity also accelerated, with daily volume jumping about 125% to more than $3 billion, signaling renewed market participation.

Derivatives positioning suggests traders are adding leverage to the rally rather than closing positions. Futures open interest for XRP on Binance has climbed to roughly 353 million tokens, up from about 223 million in late October 2025. The increase represents a roughly 59% rise in open positions despite the token still trading significantly below last year’s peak.
