Kaiko crowns XRP: a performance worthy of the crypto leaders
XRP joins Ethereum on the second step of the podium in the Q3 2025 ranking published by Kaiko. Recognized for its market indicators, the analysis firm gives Ripple's crypto asset an overall score of 95/100 as well as an AA rating. This score places it just behind Bitcoin, while ahead of all other altcoins.
This jump is explained by a series of maximum performances in strategic areas:
- liquidity;
- market depth;
- availability on exchanges;
- institutional adoption.
XRP also shows a record level on derivative products. Which proves its maturity in the crypto market.
That's not all! Kaiko also highlights that XRP displays price stability and exchange infrastructure comparable to BTC and ETH. This recognition validates its growing role asfull institutional asset.
Dogecoin, Solana and Stellar left behind: the reasons for the dropout
Often cited among the most followed altcoinsSolana and Dogecoin are losing ground in this new hierarchy. Certainly, their presence on crypto platforms remains strong. However, their liquidity, market maturity and depth indicators do not match those of XRP.
For its part, Stellar inherits a B rating. Historically associated with XRP by its origins, this digital asset finds itself left behind in almost all categories (with the exception of its availability on crypto exchanges).
This repositioning marks a turning point. The Kaiko ranking puts back into effect the quality of infrastructure at the center of priorities. In other words, speculation is no longer enough. To convince, a crypto-asset must demonstrate structural solidity, integration into derivatives markets and adoption by professional investors.
In any case, XRP is gaining ground not by announcement effect, but by operational robustness. This signal sent to investors could redistribute institutional flows in the months to come. It remains to be seen whether this dynamic will hold in the face of a market always quick to reward novelty.
