If XRP Reaches $4.07, It Becomes the Second Largest by Market Cap... Will It Overtake Ethereum and Threaten Bitcoin?

▲ XRP

XRP has shown an exceptional strength against Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), prompting a bold outlook that it could reshuffle market capitalization rankings in the current market cycle.

According to Cointelegraph on February 10 (local time), market analyst CryptoInsightUK stated that XRP is now positioned to outperform Ethereum. The analyst noted that XRP has demonstrated remarkable resilience relative to Bitcoin and Ethereum even amid recent market downturns, suggesting that market leadership could shift during the next major rebound.

XRP is currently trading around $1.43, but analysts expect a sharp acceleration in gains if key resistance levels are broken. A large concentration of short liquidations is reportedly clustered near $2.29, and a rally could extend beyond the previous high of $3.6 toward the $4.2–$4.4 range. The analyst added that even a modest reallocation of capital from gold or silver markets into cryptocurrencies could significantly boost prices given the current liquidity environment.

Indicators reflecting XRP’s relative value are also flashing positive signals. The XRP/Ethereum exchange ratio has maintained a stable range since August 2025, establishing solid support, and fully recovered losses from the sharp sell-off on February 5 within a single day. XRP’s relative price against Bitcoin briefly fell to 0.00001792 BTC but quickly reclaimed the 0.00002 BTC level, underscoring strong buying interest.

The XRP dominance metric, which represents market share, also successfully defended the key 3.6% support level, laying the groundwork for a rebound. CryptoInsightUK emphasized that while overall market sentiment remains extremely subdued, the formation of strong bullish engulfing candles accompanied by volume should not be overlooked. To surpass Ethereum’s market capitalization of approximately $247.4 billion, XRP would need to rise 184% from current levels to $4.07—an outcome the indicators suggest is achievable.

XRP is currently forming a technical bottom and has a high likelihood of delivering outsized returns compared to other major cryptocurrencies. Having maintained support even during low-volume weekend trading, the influx of fresh capital as weekday trading resumes is expected to be the key determinant of whether the upward trend can be sustained.
