XRP Flips Ethereum: What Does This Mean for Investors?

  • XRP’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) has surpassed Ethereum’s, hitting $235 billion, as its DeFi ecosystem gains traction.
  • XRP surged over 300% since Trump’s re-election, fueled by pro-crypto policies and its inclusion in the proposed U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile.
  • Ethereum struggles against rising competition from Solana, despite its Dencun upgrade slashing transaction fees by 95%.

Something unexpected just happened in the crypto world—XRP‘s fully diluted valuation (FDV) has overtaken Ethereum’s. Yep, you read that right. According to CoinGecko data from March 14, XRP’s FDV now sits at nearly $235 billion, edging past Ether’s by over $1 billion.

It’s a major flip in fortunes. XRP Ledger’s DeFi ecosystem has been quietly gaining steam, while Ethereum faces growing competition from rivals like Solana. Even so, Ethereum still leads in market cap, sitting at $233 billion, compared to XRP’s $136 billion.

Why This Matters

FDV measures the total value of all tokens—circulating or locked. Market cap, on the other hand, only counts what’s actively trading. One big reason for XRP’s soaring FDV? Ripple Labs still holds a massive allocation of XRP, giving the token a deep reservoir of potential liquidity.

The Trump Effect & XRP’s 300% Surge

XRP has been on a wild ride since November 5, the day Donald Trump secured his re-election. Since then, the token has skyrocketed over 300%, hitting $2.30 per XRP.

Why? Well, Trump has made it clear he wants the U.S. to be the “world’s crypto capital”—and he’s been appointing crypto-friendly regulators to key positions. That’s been a game-changer, especially for XRP, which focuses on enterprise adoption.

In February, Ripple unveiled a DeFi roadmap aimed at institutional investors. Meanwhile, its decentralized exchange (DEX) has already handled over $1 billion in swaps since launching last year.

And then there’s the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile—a proposed crypto reserve that Trump says will include XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Unlike traditional reserves, this one will only contain assets seized from legal actions—meaning no taxpayer dollars will be used to buy crypto.

Ethereum Losing Ground?

Ethereum, on the other hand, has been struggling. The Dencun upgrade, which slashed transaction fees by 95%, was supposed to be a big win. But instead, Ethereum has faced stiff competition from Solana, whose lightning-fast transactions and memecoin explosion in 2024 helped it grab a huge share of trading volume—rivaling Ethereum and its entire layer-2 network combined.

And in the background? The SEC is reportedly winding down its case against Ripple, just months after dropping legal actions against Coinbase, Kraken, and Uniswap.

XRP’s momentum isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Is Ethereum in trouble? Maybe. But one thing’s clear—the crypto landscape is shifting fast.
