XRP At Risk Of Falling Out Of Crypto Top Five For First Time Since 2013

XRP has had an extremely difficult run since 2017 and things have only turned worse. But somehow despite the poor performance compared to its peers, it has managed to hold onto a top five rank by market cap dating back as far as 2013.

However, the legal blow dealt by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the subsequent crypto exchange delistings, the altcoin is now at dangerous risk of falling out of the top five for the first time since back then. Here’s which cryptocurrency could take its spot, and a look at how far the top five has changed since 2013.

The Crypto Market Top Five: 2013 Versus 2021

The cryptocurrency market is constantly evolving, and new projects regularly appear that temporarily dominate the space, only to fall into obscurity later on. The best place for investors to look beyond Bitcoin itself, is the top five or ten cryptocurrencies by market cap.

The higher up the list you go, and the longer the asset has held the position, the more likely the coin has staying power and will continue to do so.

In a very risky space, these coins are among the least risky. But scanning through snapshots taken of the top five throughout the history of crypto, even the cream of the crop changes often.

A handful of coins however have mostly maintained their notch in upper tiers of crypto market share, such as Litecoin, Ethereum, XRP, and of course, Bitcoin.

XRP typically held a number three, but sometimes two or four slot depending on the tides at the time, and for the first time since 2013 is at risk of being booted – possibly for good.

XRP has long battled Ethereum for the number two spot, and as the crypto market grew and so did the need for stablecoins, Tether encroached on the top three.

A newcomer, Polkadot, has now unseated XRP’s fourth rank due to the ripple-effect of the lawsuit against the token’s parent company. The SEC alleges that Ripple sold unregistered securities and XRP are the securities in reference.

The asset saw a mass delisting in the United States, and now even the fifth place rank of XRP is on the ropes against Cardano (ADA).

Ripple has $12 billion of market cap remaining, while Cardano is creeping up right behind with $11 billion. How far could the cryptocurrency fall from grace?

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a global remote work leader with a decade of award-winning content experience and excellence. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say.
