Ripple token XRP has surged past stablecoin Tether (USDT) and Solana (SOL) to become the third-largest crypto by market capitalization.
XRP soared over 28% in the last 24 hours and 346% in the past month to trade at $2.42 as of 2:44 a.m. EST. 
The recent gain was a continuation of its bullish weekly momentum, and pushed the crypto’s market cap to above $138.4 billion. USDT’s market cap currently stands at around $134.22 billion, while SOL’s total valuation is $108.5 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

XRP’s recent surge has pushed the altcoin’s <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price</a> to its highest point since April 2021.&nbsp;
With Donald Trump entering the White House next month, investors anticipate a friendlier regulator environment for crypto with Gary Gensler stepping down as chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) next month. 
Ripple has been embroiled in a legal battle with the regulator regarding XRP’s security status.
Adding to the bullish sentiment around the altcoin is the Nov. 1 filing by 21Shares to launch a spot <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/xrp-price-prediction-ripple-token-soars-10-but-traders-turn-to-this-ico-with-a-619-staking-apy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> ETF. The steep rise in the crypto’s price also follows reports that the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) will soon approve Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD.

Another factor that could be pushing XRP’s price up is the recent launch of meme coins on the XRP ledger. This year, Solana has been a popular breeding ground for these lighthearted tokens, with Pump.fun facilitating the creation of the bulk of the meme coins launched during the latest frenzy.&nbsp;

 Unironically think coins on XRP are either a 100x from here
 or this is the pico top and everyone that does loses all their money
 If I had a small balance I'd take those odds over trading perps any day I'm not in that business anymore though, I've become too old and lazy
