XRP surges past $2, becoming the third-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $135.37 billion, overtaking USDT and Solana. Speculations arise about XRP challenging Ethereum's dominance, especially with rumors of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse being considered for a pro-crypto role in a potential Trump administration. XRP's resurgence coincides with its ongoing legal battle with the SEC, with regulatory clarity still sought. Despite recent gains, analysts warn of potential profit-taking by XRP whales. #XRP #Crypto #Ripple #SEC
