In a startling surge, the capitalization of the renowned cryptocurrency XRP witnessed a remarkable uptick, swelling by over $2.2 billion within the initial week of March. Data sourced from CoinMarketCap unveils that XRP catapulted into the spring season, boasting a capitalization of $31.92 billion.
However, by the onset of March 8, this figure had soared to a staggering $34.2 billion. This meteoric rise translates to a noteworthy 7% surge within a mere week, an impressive feat considering the asset's already substantial valuation.

To put this into perspective, in the global hierarchy of company capitalizations, XRP would find itself nestled around the 566th spot, akin to the stature of corporate giants like Chinese tech titan Baidu and British banking stalwart Barclays.
The surge in XRP's capitalization correlates directly with the surge in its price. Since the advent of spring, XRP has witnessed an incremental increase of nearly 7%, with the maximum surge this week marking a staggering 14%. Consequently, the token now commands a price hovering around $0.63.
While USDC and Cardano (ADA) loom closely in the market capitalization rankings, the gap between them and XRP remains substantial, measured in billions of dollars. To ascend a rank higher, XRP must surpass Solana (SOL), whose market capitalization presently exceeds a formidable $64 billion.
