XRP Surpasses BNB in Market Cap as Futures Open Interest Nears Pre-Crash Highs

The cryptocurrency XRP has overtaken Binance Coin (BNB) to reclaim the fourth position by market capitalization. This shift occurs alongside a significant recovery in the derivatives market, where the total open interest for XRP futures contracts is approaching levels last seen before the recent market downturn. Analysts view this resurgence in open interest—a key metric representing the total number of outstanding derivative contracts—as a signal of returning trader confidence and capital inflow into XRP. The growing futures market activity, combined with the regained market cap ranking, suggests building momentum for the digital asset amid a broader market recovery.
