Many projects have experienced ups and downs during this period. ## Challenging Periods XRP managed to stay in the top 10 even during tough times like the 2018 bear market, the COVID-19 crash, Terra's collapse, and FTX's bankruptcy. It also overcame a long-standing battle with the SEC. ## SEC Battle Ripple faced a significant threat in its lawsuit with the SEC. XRP was delisted from many exchanges, and its value plummeted. However, the token survived this process and maintained its market position. ## Market Changes Since 2014, the crypto market has changed significantly. Bitcoin's market share dropped from 87% to 57%. New players like stablecoins and exchange tokens have entered the top 10. ## Rise of DeFi This year, Hyperliquid's HYPE token became the second DeFi project to enter the top 10, surpassing Dogecoin. This highlights the continuous evolution of the market. ## Significance of XRP XRP's 13-year streak in the top 10 is a rare example of stability and resilience in the crypto market. This achievement underscores the importance of Ripple's token in the industry. ## Sources covering this story - https://cryptopotato.com/xrp-has-stayed-in-cryptos-top-10-for-13-straight-years-no-other-altcoin-has-done-this/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
