XRP News Today: XRP Surpasses $200M FDV in 2025 Sparking Optimism Over Market Dominance

A resurfaced 2018 market ranking chart has reignited discussions within the XRP community, drawing parallels with a recent surge in early 2025 when the asset's fully diluted valuation (FDV) surpassed $200 million for the first time since 2018 [1]. Shared by crypto influencer XRP Avenger, the 2018 chart showed XRP valued at $2.38 with a market cap exceeding $238 billion—based on FDV rather than actual circulating supply. This historical moment was seen as a psychological turning point for XRP supporters, who now view the 2025 milestone as a sign of renewed potential [1].

The 2025 event, marked by a sustained period of elevated FDV, has led to renewed optimism that XRP could again surpass Ethereum and even challenge Bitcoin in market dominance. While XRP briefly overtook both in 2018, the current environment suggests a more deliberate and possibly longer-lasting shift. Analysts and community members highlight that regulatory clarity, growing institutional interest, and blockchain adoption are key factors supporting this trajectory [1].

Despite the positive momentum, XRP's road to surpassing Bitcoin remains steep. With a circulating supply of 59.3 billion tokens, XRP would need to rise above $40.3 to match Bitcoin’s current $2.39 trillion market cap—a 15-fold increase from current levels. While analysts have set higher price targets for the current cycle, such a move would require a dramatic shift in market sentiment and broader adoption [1].

The broader cryptocurrency market has not mirrored XRP’s growth, with mixed performances observed in other digital assets. This divergence has led investors to question whether XRP’s rise is a standalone event or a precursor to a larger market upswing. Historical patterns, particularly from 2018, serve as a reminder that sudden valuation increases do not always lead to sustained growth [1].

The XRP community remains cautiously optimistic, viewing the 2025 milestone as a potential turning point. If the asset continues to outperform and maintains its position in the market rankings, it could signal a broader acceptance of XRP as a viable long-term investment. However, until consistent trends emerge and further data is available, the market will remain watchful for signs of either a sustained rally or a repeat of past volatility [1].
