On March 17, 2026, XRP's price surged above $1.50, driven by a 125% jump in trading volume to $3.22 billion, briefly pushing its market cap to $93.4 billion and overtaking BNB as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency. However, BNB quickly reclaimed fourth place with an $85.9 billion market cap, supported by a robust ecosystem processing over 12 million daily transactions and record highs near 31–35 million.
