U.Today - XRP is maintaining its bullish outlook in the market today as its price has sustained its weekly gains to date. Per data from CoinMarketCap, XRP is trading at a spot price of $0.5293, up by 2% in the past 24 hours. In the Week-to-Date (WTD) period, XRP has approximately 7%, its outlook as one of the biggest gainers among the top 10 biggest coins.
XRP's growth is backed by the other on-chain metrics it exhibits. Data shows that its is up 30.24% to $956,210,785, a figure that shows sustained interest in the digital currency among both retail and institutional holders.
With its new bullish outlook, XRP is now seeking a move to jump in its overall ranking and possibly displace Binance Coin (BNB). The growth in the past few weeks has been more favorable to XRP overall, with its market capitalization of $28,396,519,073 gradually closing in on the $33,344,783,162 that BNB currently boasts of.
Another crucial piece of evidence that suggests the tide may soon change between both protocols is the year-to-date (YTD) gains. While Binance Coin is reeling in losses worth 10.97% YTD, XRP has soared as high as 55.29% in that same time frame. Should this growth pace continue, the eventual flippening might not take much longer.
