XRP 取代 Tether (USDT) 奪回第三大加密貨幣寶座，為 2023 年拉開序幕

XRP 以積極的姿態開啟了新的一年，目前市值排名第三。這種以跨國支付為主的加密貨幣現已超越 Tether 的 USDT，成為第三大加密貨幣，市值超過 1,410 億美元。

Cross-border payment cryptocurrency XRP has ranked third in the top crypto market capitalizations, following a positive start to the new year.

繼新年伊始，跨境支付加密貨幣 XRP 在頂級加密貨幣市值中排名第三。

According to data from CoinMarketCap, XRP now ranks third with a market cap of over $141 billion, surpassing Tether's USDT, which now has a market capitalization of slightly above $137.4 billion.

根據 CoinMarketCap 的數據，XRP 目前排名第三，市值超過 1,410 億美元，超過了 Tether 的 USDT，後者目前市值略高於 1,374 億美元。

This shift coincides with the rollout of the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which imposes stricter rules on stablecoin issuers. MiCA mandates full reserves and licenses for issuers operating in the EU, prompting concerns about compliance among key players like Tether. Notably, Coinbase Europe announced that it would be delisting USDT in December over MiCA compliance concerns, a factor that could have negatively affected the price of the stablecoin.

這一轉變恰逢歐盟加密資產市場監管（MiCA）的推出，該監管對穩定幣發行人施加了更嚴格的規則。 MiCA 要求在歐盟運營的發行人擁有完整的準備金和許可證，這引發了 Tether 等主要參與者對合規性的擔憂。值得注意的是，Coinbase Europe 宣布，出於 MiCA 合規性擔憂，將於 12 月下架 USDT，這一因素可能會對穩定幣的價格產生負面影響。

As reported by Coinpedia, XRP's market capitalization had already surpassed USDT's in April 2023, following a significant rally driven by favorable market conditions, increased investor interest, and shifting regulatory landscapes.

根據 Coinpedia 報道，在有利的市場條件、投資者興趣增加和監管環境變化的推動下，XRP 的市值已於 2023 年 4 月超過 USDT。

At the time, XRP's market cap reached $44.9 billion, while USDT's capitalization was at $43.8 billion. This shift was largely attributed to the broader market rally and anticipation of key developments, such as the launch of Ripple's stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD).

當時，XRP 的市值達到 449 億美元，而 USDT 的市值為 438 億美元。這種轉變很大程度上歸因於更廣泛的市場反彈和對關鍵發展的預期，例如瑞波幣穩定幣瑞波美元（RLUSD）的推出。

In the broader timeframe, XRP has shown a fluctuation in price on the monthly chart. Commencing the year at $0.7, XRP price showed a strong performance over the past year, rising more than 400% between November and December and peaking at $2.7.

在更廣泛的時間範圍內，XRP 在月線圖表上顯示價格波動。從今年開始，XRP 價格為 0.7 美元，在過去一年中表現強勁，11 月至 12 月期間上漲超過 400%，最高達到 2.7 美元。

The price increase was driven by events such as Donald Trump's pro-crypto presidential election victory and speculation around an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). Recently, WisdomTree became the fourth company to file for a spot in XRP ETF, joining other major issuers like Bitwise and 21Shares.

價格上漲是由唐納德·川普支持加密貨幣的總統選舉勝利以及圍繞 XRP 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的猜測等事件推動的。最近，WisdomTree 成為第四家申請 XRP ETF 份額的公司，加入了 Bitwise 和 21Shares 等其他主要發行人的行列。

A Message from Ripple Labs' CEO

Ripple Labs 執行長致辭

As the new year started with a massive XRP transfer of 500 million tokens (worth over $1 billion), tracked by blockchain analytics firm Whale Alert, Ripple's CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed optimism for 2025, citing "momentum and increased focus on real-world utility."

新年伊始，區塊鏈分析公司Whale Alert 追蹤了5 億枚XRP 代幣（價值超過10 億美元）的大規模轉賬，Ripple 執行長Brad Garlinghouse 對2025 年表示樂觀，理由是「勢頭以及對現實世界效用的日益關注”。 ”

From a technical perspective, XRP is in a clear uptrend, currently trading above the 50 and 200 moving averages. The price is approaching the $2.6 resistance level after bouncing off the $1.98 support level. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 61, meaning the price could rise further before any change in trend can be seen.

從技術面來看，XRP 處於明顯的上升趨勢，目前交易於 50 和 200 移動均線上方。在從 1.98 美元的支撐位反彈後，價格正在接近 2.6 美元的阻力位。相對強弱指數 (RSI) 為 61，這意味著在趨勢發生任何變化之前價格可能會進一步上漲。

With the regulatory climate becoming potentially more favorable, especially after SEC Chair Gary Gensler's resignation, XRP appears well-positioned to soar as high as $10 in 2025. ETF approvals and broader adoption of Ripple's payment solutions may continue to propel its market performance.

隨著監管環境變得更加有利，特別是在SEC 主席加里·根斯勒(Gary Gensler) 辭職之後，XRP 似乎有望在2025 年飆升至10 美元。會繼續推動其市場表現。
