Ripple’s cryptocurrency, XRP, is gaining traction and could soon position itself as the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, surpassing Ethereum (ETH). This bold prediction comes from a leading banking analyst. The surge in XRP’s popularity coincides with the recent approval of a new leveraged XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) by the New York Stock Exchange, reflecting growing mainstream interest in this cryptocurrency. This development skims the surface of an evolving market that investors must watch closely.
