⬛BNB has climbed to third place in terms of market capitalization, overtaking XRP, which had long held the bronze position. The margin — roughly $400 million — is slim but symbolically significant: the top 3 remains a key benchmark for both institutional and retail investors. BNB’s rally was fueled by strong ecosystem activity, while XRP has stagnated near $3, losing momentum and on-chain engagement.
⬛This reshuffle highlights an ongoing rotation of liquidity among leading altcoins. For XRP, a return to the top three will likely require renewed capital inflows and network activity. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to dominate, while the battle for third place becomes a bellwether for the strength of the next altcoin cycle.
