Kaiko crowns XRP: a performance on par with crypto leaders
XRP joins Ethereum on the second step of the podium in the Q3 2025 ranking published by Kaiko. Known for its market indicators, the analysis firm awards 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. This proves its maturity in the crypto market.
That is not all! Kaiko also highlights that XRP shows price stability and exchange infrastructure comparable to those of BTC and ETH. This recognition validates its growing role as a full-fledged institutional asset.
Dogecoin, Solana, and Stellar distanced: reasons for the drop
Often cited among the most followed altcoins, Solana and Dogecoin lose 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 holds a B rating. Historically associated with XRP by origin, this digital asset is distanced in almost all categories (except its availability on crypto exchanges).
This repositioning marks a turning point. The Kaiko ranking indeed puts infrastructure quality back at the center of priorities. In other words, speculation is no longer enough. To convince, a crypto asset must demonstrate structural solidity, integration in derivatives markets, and adoption by professional investors.
In any case, XRP gains ground not by announcement effect, but by operational robustness. This signal sent to investors could redistribute institutional flows in the coming months. It remains to be seen if this momentum will hold against a market always eager to reward novelty.
