The impressive performance of Ripple\u2019s native token continues with another surge in the past 24 hours that pushed its price above $2 for the first time since early 2018.<\/p>\n
In the process, XRP has surpassed SOL to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.<\/p>\n
The entire crypto market started to chart impressive gains after Donald Trump\u2019s victory in the 2024 US presidential elections nearly a month ago. At first, though, XRP was sort of sluggish and trailed behind, losing ground to other assets like DOGE.<\/p>\n
However, once rumors started to circulate that SEC Chair Gary Gensler will step down once Trump takes office, Ripple\u2019s token began its mindblowing rally.<\/p>\n
It was only solidified last week when Gensler officially announced<\/a> that he will vacate his position as the Chairman of the US regulator that has been in a legal battle against Ripple for roughly four years.<\/p>\n XRP shot above $1 and kept climbing. It was stopped at $1.65 last week, but the bulls returned and pushed its price by 50% on a weekly scale. As such, the token soared to $2.09 earlier today for the first time since January 2018.<\/p>\n <\/a>XRPUSD.

Consequently, it managed to overtake<\/a> several altcoins in the process, such as Binance Coin, and Solana as of minutes ago.<\/p>\n With a market cap of $116 billion as of writing these lines, XRP is the fourth-largest cryptocurrency.
