Grayscale data shows XRP's market cap at nearly 6% of Bitcoin's, higher than other non-Bitcoin currency tokens in the comparison. The chart uses 30-day average market caps through late September. Zcash rose above 1% of Bitcoin's value, ranking ahead of Monero, BCH and LTC. Bitcoin's market cap was about $1.678 trillion, with XRP near $94.08 billion.

Key points

  1. Grayscale data shows XRP's market cap at nearly 6% of Bitcoin's, the highest relative valuation among non-Bitcoin currency tokens it tracks.
  2. The comparison uses 30-day average market capitalizations measured against Bitcoin's market cap, not each token's share of the total crypto market.

Why it matters

The comparison measures each token against Bitcoin's market cap rather than the wider crypto market, giving a relative ranking of non-Bitcoin currency tokens such as XRP and Zcash.

What's unclear

The precise Zcash ratio is given as above 1% in one report and about 1.5% in the other.
