XRP has emerged as the top-performing asset in the CoinDesk 20 index for 2025, achieving a year-to-date return of 36.7%. This surge follows the resolution of Ripple's legal battle with the U.S. SEC, which has alleviated regulatory concerns and bolstered investor confidence. In a notable development, VivoPower has become the first publicly listed company to implement an XRP-based corporate treasury strategy, highlighting increasing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency. The CoinDesk 20 Index, which accounts for nearly 80% of global crypto trading volume, is led by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, with respective shares of 28.9%, 22.3%, and 17.7%.
