XRP has achieved a major milestone on South Korea’s largest exchange, Upbit, by surpassing Bitcoin in trading volume.
According to market data, the XRP/KRW pair recorded over $184 million in activity, giving it a higher share of daily trading than Bitcoin and Ethereum. This surge highlights the growing influence of XRP in one of the most active cryptocurrency markets.

Growing Liquidity and Market Share
The data shows XRP at $2.91 with 9.01% of volume on Upbit, while Bitcoin holds 7.46% and Ethereum 5.70%. With a liquidity score of 696, XRP has maintained a strong position supported by a deep order book.
XRP has surpassed Bitcoin in trading volume on Upbit multiple times, and this fear is notable because trading activity on South Korean exchanges often reflects wider investor sentiment in Asia, where high-volume trading pairs linked to the Korean won provide significant insight into adoption trends.
In comparison, Bitcoin recorded just over $152 million in trading, giving XRP a clear lead in the rankings. USDT and other tokens also saw substantial activity, but none matched the scale of XRP’s performance during this period.
Adoption Outpaces Rivals
The achievement highlights the appeal XRP holds in Asian markets, particularly South Korea. The country has long been an active hub for digital assets, with retail investors frequently driving liquidity.

XRP’s ability to attract such consistent volume demonstrates its growing role as a preferred asset in the region, not only for speculative trading but also for its utility in payments and remittances.
Ripple’s payment infrastructure has supported this trend, with its network processing billions in transactions and providing coverage across foreign exchange corridors. The presence of XRP as a central part of that system strengthens its appeal to institutional participants and retail investors.
The high volume on Upbit suggests that this adoption may be accelerating as more investors position themselves in anticipation of increased global usage.
Potential Global Impact
While the surge in South Korea is significant on its own, it also raises questions about how these trends may extend to other regions. XRP has shown strength against Bitcoin in 2025, and if the asset continues to dominate trading activity in Asian markets, the momentum could spread worldwide, particularly as liquidity deepens.
