In a remarkable turn of events, XRP has emerged as the most traded altcoin in the United States, outpacing its competitors Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). The cumulative trading volume of XRP over the past two months has surpassed every other altcoin since the beginning of 2023, solidifying its position in the market.
This surge in trading volume can be attributed to the pivotal verdict in July that ruled XRP as not being an unregistered security, serving as a major boost for the altcoin’s reputation. Following this ruling, the daily trading volume of XRP in the United States has experienced a significant spike, surpassing that of other altcoins.

Despite facing blacklisting on several US-based crypto exchanges until mid-July, XRP has managed to climb to the top as the most traded altcoin. According to data provided by Kaiko, XRP’s trading volume in the United States this year is fast approaching $30 billion, an impressive feat accomplished in just nine months.
XRP Takes the Lead, Leaving Competitors in Its Wake
Solana (SOL) secured the second position with an approximate cumulative trade volume of $27 billion over the past nine months. Other prominent altcoins in the top five include Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Polygon (MATIC). It’s important to note that this cumulative trade volume metric excludes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins.
Kaiko also shed light on the underlying factors driving the increased demand for XRP. According to the data-driven platform, Large United States traders who are eager to regain access to altcoins following XRP’s victory, have been instrumental in driving the surge in the digital asset’s buying demand. Relisting of XRP by Major US exchanges such as Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken is also a major contributing factor.
