A major financial publication has turned its attention to XRP. For a cryptocurrency that has spent years at the center of regulatory battles and community debate, the recognition arrives from an unexpected corner, and the crypto world is paying attention.
Forbes Puts XRP on the Map
Crypto commentator BankXRP (@BankXRP) shared a Forbes report ranking XRP 4th among cryptocurrencies worth investing in. The report places XRP behind only Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB. Forbes cited XRP’s “strong use cases in global finance” and its backing by institutional partnerships as the basis for the ranking. The publication noted XRP’s market cap at $69.21 billion.
Forbes described XRP as a tool for fast and low-cost cross-border payments. It functions as a bridge between currencies, enabling transfers with minimal fees. The report also noted that XRP’s price stood at $1.11 at the time of publication, with its highest point in the past year reaching $3.65 on July 17, 2025.
Forbes acknowledged a key structural difference between XRP and assets like Bitcoin. XRP tokens enter circulation when Ripple sells coins, raising concerns about the centralized control over its supply. Despite this, the publication’s decision to rank XRP 4th signals recognition of its position in the global crypto landscape.

The XRP Community Sees the Value
Several community members welcomed the ranking. One stated that global finance utility and institutional partnerships create long-term value, arguing that price follows utility. Another called the $69 billion market cap evidence that XRP remains underpriced given its institutional track record, specifically referencing the XRP settlement.
One response treated the Forbes feature as significant validation of Ripple’s long-term vision, calling the highlighted use cases meaningful. Another thanked Forbes for pointing out the obvious, hinting at the clarity of XRP’s value proposition.

Not Everyone Is Convinced
Not everyone received the ranking positively. One commenter entirely dismissed Forbes as a credible source on crypto. Another argued that rankings and headlines do not move money and that the real test is whether banks actively use XRP. One response questioned why BankXRP omitted the full article link, suggesting the omission was intentional.
Another commenter shared the cons Forbes highlighted, which BankXRP excluded from his post. These include Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen‘s large XRP holdings and centralization claims.
The Forbes ranking gives XRP mainstream visibility at a time when institutional interest in crypto continues to grow. Whether the attention translates into sustained price movement remains the question investors are watching.
