It’s not every day that a cryptocurrency overtakes a global corporate giant. But that’s exactly what happened in XRP news today, the third largest cryptocurrency: XRP Market Cap outpaced Uber’s valuation.
According to data from CoinGecko, the token's total value jumped to $196.6 billion—leaving Uber’s $193.7 billion in the rearview mirror. This was fueled by a wave of optimism after the Ripple SEC case update, in which they jointly decided to cover the case.
But this is not the full picture. As a crypto analyst, I can say this news has more secret fueling $10k price target. So let’s uncover them.
The latest rally has pushed the altcoin into the global top 90 assets, bypassing Uber, PepsiCo, and HDFC Bank. Just a few weeks ago, it was trailing these companies, but an 8% the price surge—from $2.99 to $3.30—changed the leaderboard.
Data from TheCryptoBasics confirms that before this spike, the token hovered around $184 billion in value. Now, it’s just within $3 billion of surpassing other companies like Shopify and AT&T. So if you are wondering who’s next in the line, then keep an eye on the chart.
One of the strongest drivers behind the jump is the potential end to Ripple’s legal war with the U.S. SEC. The joint dismissal motion is being considered as a final chapter in a case that has impacted heavily since the last 5 years.
Historically, regulatory wins often spark price surge, and that’s exactly why its has been able to flip Uber’s market cap today.
Analysts also believe that if the gains momentum continues then altcoin's total value will come closer to the $200 billion mark.
1. From a technical view, the token is holding steady above $3.20, a level acting as strong short-term support. The RSI sits at 61.29, showing healthy momentum as seen in this TradingView chart.
2. MACD indicators hint at a possible bullish crossover in the next sessions. If confirmed, this could open the door for a push the price prediction towards $3.50–$3.70 in the coming days.
3. XRP market cap flips Uber at $196.6B, passing riding giant's $193B value—this headline alone drew new buyers.
4. Ripple SEC case over signaling strong token increase and long-term confidence.
Short-term momentum points to steady gains, but the bigger question is sustainability. If current conditions hold, analysts see $4.20–$4.50 target.
Long-term projections, assuming the upcoming $200 billion value, which could correspond to double-digit pricing.
As someone following these charts daily, I believe the $10k price target isn’t unrealistic over the next cycle.
If Ripple locks in a favorable settlement and adoption accelerates, the XRP Market Cap could not only hold above Uber’s but also climb higher in the global rankings.
Whether that leads to the $10 price target or not, one thing is clear—This altcoin has the market’s attention, and bulls are not ready to step aside.
