BNB Surpasses XRP to Claim Fourth-Largest Crypto by Market Cap

Published at 2026-03-22 18:00:29

Binance’s native token BNB has moved past XRP to take the fourth spot in the rankings of largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, per CoinMarketCap on March 22, 2026. The reshuffle displaces Ripple’s token and marks another jump in the ongoing competition among platform, utility and payments-oriented assets.

The shift matters because market-cap rankings feed into index products, passive allocations and trader sentiment; a higher spot can attract more inflows and derivative interest. BNB’s central role in Binance’s ecosystem—used for fees, staking and activity on BNB Chain—likely contributed to renewed demand, while XRP’s position will be watched for signs of a rebound. Market participants will monitor whether BNB can hold the ranking as broader crypto conditions evolve.
