- BNB reclaimed fourth place by market cap after moving above XRP, with its valuation returning near the $90 billion range.
- XRP slipped behind BNB after price weakness, while traders continue to watch resistance near the $1.48 area.
BNB has moved back above XRP in the global crypto market rankings, reclaiming fourth place by market capitalization. The move widened the gap between the two assets, with BNB’s market value rising above $90 billion while XRP held near $88.5 billion.
The shift came during a weaker session for the broader crypto market. Bitcoin failed to hold its latest push above $81,000 and dropped to its lowest level since May 4 before slightly recovering. The total crypto market value also fell by more than $40 billion in one day, keeping pressure on several large-cap altcoins.
BNB stood out during that weakness. The token has gained more than 8% over the past month, while XRP has posted a smaller rise of about 4% over the same period. That performance helped BNB regain the fourth spot and extend its lead over XRP during the latest market rotation.
BNB’s price action also remains closely watched near the $700 area. The token recently rebounded from support near the $614 range and moved above $675, putting the next major test near $700. Traders are also watching the wider resistance zone between $700 and $744, which has acted as a rejection area during earlier attempts to extend the rally.
Analysts also point to a stronger technical setup for BNB. The weekly chart shows the token holding a higher-low structure while momentum indicators have improved. The MACD has formed a bullish crossover, and the RSI has moved higher, showing firmer demand than several other large-cap assets during the pullback.
XRP Holds Near Key Levels After Losing Fourth Place
XRP has not faced a sharp collapse, but its slower monthly gain left it behind BNB in the market-cap ranking. The token traded near the $1.43 range before the latest market pullback, with traders watching whether it can recover enough strength to challenge higher resistance.
The asset also remains tied to regulatory developments in the United States. Market participants are watching the Senate Banking Committee’s work on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which could affect how major tokens, including XRP, are treated under federal market rules.
Reports show that XRP exchange-traded products have continued to attract inflows in several markets. However, that activity has not been enough to keep XRP ahead of BNB during the latest ranking shift.
However, XRP recently led trading volume on Upbit, beating both Bitcoin and Ethereum with about $110.9 million in XRP/KRW activity. XRP wallets with at least 10,000 coins also rose to a new record of 332,253.
