XRP Price Surges Against Ether, Fueling Speculation of Market Cap Flip

Over the weekend, the price of XRP (XRP) compared to Ether (ETH) reached its highest level in five years, continuing its recovery. On March 15, the XRP/ETH pair hit 0.00128 ETH for the first time since April 2020, marking a 925% rebound from its all-time low in June 2024 and around 620% gains since November 2024. Market watchers are speculating that XRP could surpass Ether to become the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, with historical resistance levels indicating potential for significant rallies. XRP's market dominance has increased significantly since November 2024, while Ethereum has seen a decline in market share due to regulatory sentiment and competition from other blockchains like Solana.
