XRP Surges to Third-Largest Cryptocurrency Amid Institutional Buying

XRP has experienced a notable surge in price, surpassing Binance Coin to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

The increase can be attributed to sustained institutional and whale accumulation, as well as record-breaking spot ETF inflows of $65.89 million for April 2026.

Analysts note that the rally is driven by tangible capital inflows rather than speculative sentiment, providing a firmer floor for the cryptocurrency's price.
