XRP Beats BTC, SOL, and ETH on Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken in This Metric

XRP outperforms market leaders Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum on volume change across major exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.

This is according to market data provided by Presto Research in its Daily Market Brief. The research assessed the volume change on nine of the top leading exchanges by trade volume. These platforms include Binance, the world‘s largest; Coinbase, the largest in America; and Upbit, Korea’s biggest exchange.

XRP Sees Spikes in Trade Volume

Per the data, over a 24-hour period, XRP recorded a remarkable 410% spike in trade volume on Upbit. This marked its highest trade volume spike in any centralized exchange. The Crypto Basic has previously called attention to the massive interest that XRP commands in South Korea.

Most recently, XRP outpaced Bitcoin in trade volume across the entire Korean market. Interestingly, at the time, XRP‘s trade volume on Upbit alone overshadowed Bitcoin’s volume on Koreas five leading exchanges. For context, XRP had a $526 million volume on Upbit, while Bitcoin saw $282 million on the top five exchanges.

The latest spike in trade volume represents another round of growing interest in XRP among Koreans. Recall that interest within the Korean market was one of the major catalysts that triggered XRPs July 2023 spike to $0.93.

Besides Upbit, XRP also recorded encouraging surges in trade volume across other exchanges, data suggests. There was a 287% increase on KuCoin and a 217% spike on Gate.io. Kraken witnessed a 216% rise, while Coinbase saw a 169% growth. XRP trade volume also rose 139% on OKX and 124% on Binance.

Further, the chart spotlighted the overall market performance.
