XRP Ledger Ecosystem leads crypto market gains as Sologenic and Coreum surge

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem is surging, with its top cryptocurrencies leading the market’s gainers at last check early Sunday morning.

Over the past seven days, XRP has climbed 11.8%, while Sologenic ( SOLO ) and Coreum ( COREUM ) soared 21.6% and 21.4%, respectively.

The rally highlights growing momentum for XRPL-based assets, outpacing Polkadot ( DOT ) and Kusama ( KSM ), which are up 3.4% and 2.9%.

Built for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset tokenization, XRPL is a decentralized blockchain with a built-in decentralized exchange (DEX), trust lines for asset issuance, and sidechains for expanded functionality. Its ecosystem is expanding, with non-fungible token (NFT) support, smart contract integration (Hooks), and DeFi applications gaining traction.

Ripple, a key contributor to XRPL, has been driving institutional adoption, while the XRPL Foundation and developer community continue to enhance the network’s capabilities. The recent surge in XRPL-related tokens suggests growing confidence in its ecosystem as tokenization, payments, and DeFi innovation accelerate.

Why? For starters, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently acknowledged Grayscale’s 19b-4 filing for an XRP exchange-traded fund, or ETF.

Analysts now project a surge in institutional investment if and when it’s approved.

Polymarket bettors like the odds. According to the website, where crypto holders can gamble on real-world events, there’s an 81% chance of approval this year, according to Cointelegraph.

JPMorgan analysts also reported that a spot XRP ETF could bring in up to $8 billion in institutional money. Should the XRP ETF get the green light, it’ll rank alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum — already spot ETF-approved — as a top cryptocurrency attracting institutional investors.

Grayscale plans to transform XRP Trust into a tradable ETF, once approved the conversion would increase liquidity and accessibility for investors all around the world.

The SEC’s acknowledgment is one step in the approval process. The fact that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is hobnobbing with politicos in Washington, D.C. this past week has certainly helped boost the chances as well.

Currently, XRP’s price is trading at $2.78, with a 24-hour trading volume of $3.5 billion. As for the other top cryptocurrencies, here’s a look at their seven-day trajectories:
