- XRP surpassed Ethereum in Coinbase revenue, signaling rising investor preference.
- Technical charts show XRP nearing a historic monthly close above $3.09.
- Despite short-term drop, XRP holds bullish structure and market cap near $175 billion
XRP is emerging as one of the most valuable assets in the cryptocurrency market, both in investor activity and technical momentum. In the second quarter of 2025, XRP accounted for 13% of Coinbase’s transaction revenue, surpassing Ethereum’s 12%. Even more significantly, across the first half of 2025, XRP maintained a 16% share, ahead of Ethereum’s 11%.
These figures reflect a growing interest and confidence in XRP, especially as other leading assets show signs of decline. Solana, by comparison, failed to meet Coinbase’s 10% revenue threshold for disclosure. This shifting dynamic underlines XRP’s growing dominance on trading platforms and among investors.
XRP holders are the most valuable in the whole of crypto.$XRP accounted for a higher percentage of Coinbase trading revenue than $ETH or $SOL.

Trading Strength and Technical Breakout
XRP’s strong trading presence isn’t just limited to volume it’s backed by compelling technical signals. Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO reports that XRP is nearing its highest monthly close in history, currently hovering around $3.0972. This would mark a major technical breakout from a long-standing descending channel, hinting at a potential macro bullish reversal.
Key resistance targets lie at $3.30 and $4.34 based on Fibonacci extension levels. These targets could become realistic if XRP holds above the psychological $3.00 mark.
XRP Dominance and Market Confidence

The asset has recently broken out of a previous technical formation and is now testing that breakout point. This suggests a healthy retest, which often precedes the next leg higher in bullish cycles. XRP needs to remain above $3.03 in the coming hours to cement its historic monthly close.

However, the broader market outlook remains positive. XRP still commands a substantial market cap of $174.6 billion and shows high daily trading volume.
