Grayscale, the world’s largest crypto asset manager, recently included XRP in its weekly spotlight of leading digital currencies by market capitalization.
This inclusion signifies XRP’s position as a prominent player within the cryptocurrency industry. Grayscale’s initiative aims to educate investors by providing transparent data on the price performance of major crypto assets.

The spotlight revealed a challenging week for the top ten cryptocurrencies. Eight out of ten experienced price declines between July 3rd and 10th. Dogecoin (DOGE) suffered the most significant loss, dropping 9% in price. Toncoin (TON) followed closely behind with an 8.3% decrease, bringing its market cap down to $18 billion.
Established players like XRP, Ethereum (ETH), and Binance Coin (BNB) also witnessed losses, each shedding around 6% of their value over the week. Bitcoin (BTC) exhibited more resilience, declining by a smaller margin of 4.4%.
YTD (Year-to-Date) Analysis
However, the story is different when examining year-to-date (YTD) performance. Despite its weekly dip, Toncoin remains the top performer among the top ten cryptocurrencies with a staggering YTD gain of 217.4%.
Binance Coin (BNB) sits firmly in second place with a YTD return of 67.7%. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana (SOL) have all witnessed moderate growth of around 35% since the beginning of the year. Dogecoin and Tron (TRX) display more modest YTD gains of 20.8% and 22.1%, respectively.
XRP stands out with a contrasting YTD performance, experiencing a decline of 28.6%. This positions it behind Cardano (ADA) and Avalanche (AVAX), which have also seen negative YTD returns of 34.4% and 33.4%, respectively.
Grayscale’s weekly snapshot is a continuous effort to provide market transparency. In December, for example, the firm collaborated with CNBC to showcase a crypto watch featuring XRP and Bitcoin. This initiative coincided with the approval of Grayscale’s application for a Bitcoin spot ETF.

Interestingly, Grayscale’s latest snapshot excludes the meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB), which previously featured in June with a market cap of $10 billion. Shiba Inu’s place has been taken by Avalanche, boasting a higher market capitalization.
Grayscale’s spotlight acknowledges XRP’s status as a significant player in the cryptocurrency landscape. However, XRP’s YTD performance falls short compared to other major digital assets. This highlights the dynamic and often volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market.
