XRP News Today: XRP Ranks 100th After 4.93% August Drop Amid 38% Yearly Surge

XRP, currently priced at $2.87 and ranked as the 100th largest asset globally, has shown strong performance in 2025. The cryptocurrency has surged by 38% since January, significantly outpacing major market benchmarks such as the S&P 500 (6%) and the NASDAQ 100 (8.33%) [1]. Gold, traditionally a haven during economic uncertainty, has also gained less, rising 28% year-to-date [1]. Despite this impressive run, XRP has faced recent volatility, dropping 4.93% in August, which pushed its market capitalization to $170.7 billion and moved it down from the 69th position in July to the 100th [1].

To break into the top 10 largest assets by market capitalization, XRP would need significant price appreciation. For example, to match Saudi Aramco’s valuation of $1.566 trillion, XRP must reach $26.41, reflecting an 820% increase [1]. Analyst EGRAG has previously predicted XRP could reach $27 in this cycle [1]. To surpass Meta Platforms, valued at $1.884 trillion, XRP would need to climb to $31.77, a 1,007% increase from its current price [1]. Analyst “XRP Hawker” projected a similar $32 price target in August [1].

To overtake silver, valued at $2.088 trillion, XRP would need to reach $35.21, a 1,127% gain. To surpass Bitcoin, which holds the seventh spot with a $2.266 trillion market cap, XRP must rise to $38.20. Surpassing Amazon and Alphabet, each valued at over $2.27 trillion, would require XRP to climb to $38.44 and $38.63 respectively, representing 1,240% and 1,245% gains [1]. If XRP’s price reaches $38, it would effectively overtake Bitcoin, Amazon, and Alphabet simultaneously [1].

To outpace Apple, valued at $3.022 trillion, XRP would need to reach $50.95. Beating Microsoft, currently worth $3.895 trillion, would require XRP to hit $65.67, a 2,188% increase. To surpass NVIDIA, the second-largest asset with a $4.236 trillion market cap, XRP would need to rise to $71.39, a 2,387% gain [1]. Finally, to become the most valuable asset in the world and top gold’s valuation of $22.564 trillion, XRP would need to reach $380.38, an unprecedented 13,156% price increase [1].

While these projections highlight the potential trajectory of XRP, they remain speculative and are based on analysts’ forecasts [1]. The cryptocurrency’s market position continues to evolve, and its future performance will depend on broader market dynamics, regulatory developments, and its adoption in global financial systems.
