XRP has received a notable endorsement from one of the world’s most recognized business publications after earning a place in Fortune’s inaugural Crypto 100 ranking.
The recognition prompted XRP enthusiast Ripple Mother to celebrate the achievement on X, describing it as a major milestone and stating that XRP’s utility is finally receiving the acknowledgment it deserves.
In the tweet, Ripple Mother announced that XRP ranked sixth in Fortune’s first-ever Crypto 100, pointing to the recognition as further evidence that the blockchain protocol’s real-world use cases continue to gain mainstream acceptance. The tweet emphasized that XRP’s practical utility, particularly in cross-border payments, has played an important role in its growing recognition.

Fortune Launches Its First Crypto 100
Fortune officially introduced the Crypto 100 on June 11, 2026, as a new ranking designed to highlight the most influential companies and blockchain protocols across the digital asset industry. Rather than producing a single list from one to one hundred, the publication divided the rankings into ten separate categories, each containing ten entries.
The rankings were developed in partnership with data analytics firm Inca Digital and informed by the surveys of leading cryptocurrency professionals. The initiative reflects Fortune’s effort to evaluate the industry’s most significant participants using multiple factors instead of focusing solely on market capitalization or price performance.
Within the “Blockchains and Protocols” category, Bitcoin leads, followed by Ethereum, Solana, Chainlink, and Polygon. XRP claimed the sixth spot, placing ahead of Arbitrum, Avalanche, Sui, and Zcash.
XRP’s Utility Earns Mainstream Recognition
Ripple Mother’s post centered on the idea that XRP’s ranking reflects growing appreciation for its practical applications. Unlike many blockchain projects that primarily focus on decentralized applications or smart contracts, XRP has long been associated with facilitating cross-border payments and settlement solutions through the XRP Ledger.
The sixth-place ranking positions XRP alongside some of the most established blockchain networks in the industry while placing it ahead of several widely used Layer-1 and Layer-2 platforms. For many members of the XRP community, this placement reinforces the belief that real-world utility remains an important measure of a blockchain’s long-term relevance.
The recognition also arrives after years in which Ripple and XRP operated under significant regulatory scrutiny in the United States. As the regulatory environment continues to evolve, supporters view acknowledgments from established financial institutions and publications as meaningful indicators of broader industry acceptance.

A Milestone for the Digital Asset Industry
Ripple Mother’s post also aligns with a broader takeaway from Fortune’s new ranking. The launch of the Crypto 100 by a globally respected financial publication reflects the increasing integration of digital assets into mainstream finance.
Similar in concept to Fortune’s well-known business rankings, the Crypto 100 presents cryptocurrencies, blockchain protocols, and digital asset companies as established participants within the global financial landscape.
For XRP supporters, Fortune’s decision to rank the protocol sixth among leading blockchain networks represents more than a numerical placement. It serves as recognition from a mainstream financial publication that XRP’s focus on cross-border settlement and real-world utility continues to distinguish it within an increasingly competitive blockchain industry.
