XRP 在飆升超過 1 美元後瞄準以太坊的第二個位置，擊敗了卡爾達諾 (ADA) 和狗狗幣 (DOGE)

隨著 XRP 領先卡爾達諾和狗狗幣飆升至 1 美元以上，人們開始討論它是否可以挑戰以太坊作為第二大加密資產。

As XRP surges past $1, leaving Cardano and Dogecoin behind, speculations have arisen regarding its potential to challenge Ethereum for the second-largest crypto asset position.

隨著 XRP 飆升至 1 美元以上，將卡爾達諾和狗狗幣拋在身後，人們開始猜測它有可能挑戰以太坊第二大加密資產地位。

Before the recent surge, the crypto community engaged in discussions about which asset among XRP, ADA, and DOGE would first reach the $1 mark. While both XRP and ADA had previously traded above $1, they both fell below this level due to a broader sell-off following the 2021 bull run.

在最近的飆升之前，加密貨幣社群就 XRP、ADA 和 DOGE 中哪種資產將首先達到 1 美元大關進行了討論。雖然 XRP 和 ADA 先前的交易價格均高於 1 美元，但由於 2021 年牛市後出現更廣泛的拋售，它們均跌破該水平。

Despite ADA and DOGE experiencing significant upticks recently, XRP remained hovering around the $0.57 mark for several days, leading to DOGE's rise in the global crypto ranking to the eighth position, pushing XRP down.

儘管 ADA 和 DOGE 最近經歷了大幅上漲，但 XRP 連續幾天在 0.57 美元大關附近徘徊，導致 DOGE 在全球加密貨幣排名中上升至第八位，從而壓低了 XRP。

However, the narrative shifted following reports of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse meeting with U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump, which sparked speculations of an impending resolution in the Ripple lawsuit. Amid these rumors, XRP rallied substantially, surging above $1 for the first time since 2021.

然而，在 Ripple 首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 與美國當選總統唐納德·特朗普會面的報道之後，敘述發生了變化，引發了人們對 Ripple 訴訟即將得到解決的猜測。在這些傳言中，XRP 大幅上漲，自 2021 年以來首次飆升至 1 美元以上。

Since then, XRP has overtaken Dogecoin, solidifying its position as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $62.2 billion.

此後，XRP 取代狗狗幣，鞏固了其作為第六大加密貨幣的地位，市值達 622 億美元。

Following XRP's impressive performance, there are speculations that it might be aiming to challenge Ethereum (ETH) for the second place.

隨著 XRP 令人印象深刻的表現，有人猜測它可能會挑戰以太坊（ETH）的第二位。

In 2014, XRP was ranked as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, trailing only Bitcoin. It maintained this position until Ethereum's launch the following year, which resulted in both assets vying closely for the second place.

2014 年，XRP 被列為市值第二大加密貨幣，僅次於比特幣。它一直保持這一位置，直到次年以太坊推出，這導致兩種資產激烈爭奪第二名。

However, Ethereum secured the second position definitively in June 2018 after former SEC Director William Hinman declared ETH a non-security. Two years later, the SEC's decision to charge Ripple with violating federal securities laws through its past XRP sales further disadvantaged XRP.

然而，在前 SEC 主任 William Hinman 宣布 ETH 為非證券後，以太坊於 2018 年 6 月最終獲得了第二名的位置。兩年後，美國證券交易委員會決定指控 Ripple 透過過去的 XRP 銷售違反聯邦證券法，這進一步使 XRP 處於不利地位。

As a consequence, XRP slipped to the seventh position last year, and recently Dogecoin pushed the asset down to the eighth spot. But with the recent rally, XRP appears poised to once again challenge Ethereum for the second position.

結果，XRP 去年滑落至第七位，最近狗狗幣將該資產推至第八位。但隨著最近的反彈，XRP 似乎準備好再次挑戰以太坊第二的位置。

XRP's potential ascent to the second position in the global crypto ranking would be a formidable undertaking. Currently, Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $376.45 billion.

XRP 在全球加密貨幣排名中上升到第二位將是一項艱鉅的任務。目前，以太幣是第二大加密貨幣，市值為 3,764.5 億美元。

This implies that XRP's market cap must increase by 505.22% to reach ETH's $376.45 billion valuation. At a growth rate of this magnitude, XRP's price would rise to approximately $6.59 from the current level of $1.09, assuming the coin's circulating supply remains largely constant at 56.93 billion.

這意味著 XRP 的市值必須增加 505.22% 才能達到 ETH 的 3,764.5 億美元估值。假設 XRP 的流通供應量基本上保持在 569.3 億枚，以這種幅度的增長率，XRP 的價格將從目前的 1.09 美元上漲至約 6.59 美元。

While XRP's surge to the $1 mark has certainly bolstered investors' confidence in the asset, challenging Ethereum for the second position necessitates the convergence of several initiatives, ranging from institutional adoption to regulatory clarity.

雖然 XRP 飆升至 1 美元大關無疑增強了投資者對該資產的信心，但挑戰以太坊第二名的地位需要融合多項舉措，從機構採用到監管清晰度。

notably, XRP did receive the long-awaited clarity in July 2023 when a federal court ruled that it is not a security. Additionally, strong institutional demand for XRP is bound to follow should the U.S. SEC approve the launch of one or more ETFs tied to the asset.

值得注意的是，XRP 確實在 2023 年 7 月得到了期待已久的澄清，當時聯邦法院裁定 XRP 不是證券。此外，如果美國 SEC 批准推出與該資產相關的一個或多個 ETF，機構對 XRP 的強勁需求勢必隨之而來。

Having said that, it remains to be seen whether XRP can challenge ETH for the second place in the global crypto ranking. XRP's future price actions will be pivotal in determining whether it can pose a threat to Ethereum.

話雖如此，XRP 能否挑戰 ETH 爭奪全球加密貨幣排行榜第二名還有待觀察。 XRP 未來的價格走勢將是決定是否會對以太坊構成威脅的關鍵。
