XRP's Impressive Rally

On Monday, XRP experienced a remarkable surge of over 16%, solidifying its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $154.8 billion. This impressive rise includes a 424% monthly gain and a staggering 334% increase year-over-year.

Trailing behind XRP were Tether at around $134 billion and Solana at $106 billion. The dramatic rally is fueled by Ripple's game-changing RLUSD stablecoin, which is poised to disrupt global finance by bridging blockchain and traditional banking.
