A notable development has occurred in the cryptocurrency market. According to data from Finbold, CoinMarketCap statistics showed that XRP’s market capitalization reached $183.4 billion, briefly surpassing that of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm (approximately $180 billion). This rise has rekindled strong bullish sentiment among investors.
XRP Market Cap Briefly Surpasses BlackRock’s as Institutional Developments Support Bullish Mood
Analysts believe the reason for XRP’s surge is Ripple Labs’ expedited application for a national “trust banking license” in the US. Approval would allow Ripple to issue stablecoins and provide digital asset custody services under federal oversight.
With October seen as the application deadline, investors are interpreting this as a catalyst for long-term institutional growth for XRP. Market experts say Ripple’s efforts to integrate with US financial regulations could boost institutional adoption of XRP.
XRP’s recent performance has rekindled the interest of both individual and institutional investors, with analysts predicting that if this momentum continues, XRP could rise even higher in the market rankings.
