Notably, it has surpassed the market cap of Tether (USDT), which stands at $137 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The recent rally in XRP&#8217;s price can be attributed in part to a broader shift in market sentiment following the election of President Donald Trump on November 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s victory has sparked renewed confidence in the digital asset industry, leading to increased optimism among investors.
