What the data says
XRP
XRP at 0x1d2f0da169ceb9fc7b3144628db156f3f6c60dbe — deployed as "XRP Token" — is the Binance-pegged XRP claim on BNB Chain: a bridge-issued receipt for the real asset, 873 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot and priced at a $485.9 million market cap across 325.8 million units.
The book underneath the half-billion float is thinner than the number implies: $3.7 million of tracked pool depth reads thin against the cap, on $1.5 million of 24-hour volume. That is the standard shape of a peg-asset — redemptions route through the issuer's mint-and-burn machinery while pools carry only the marginal trade — but it means the on-chain exit book is a fraction of the headline.
ADA
This is an ADA-named token on Solana at mint skDGuSDyKYGbYTWnMCNcPeDd4vHUxAsMNVVxxUfpump — and the honest first thing to say is that Cardano's ADA cannot natively exist on Solana, so anything wearing the ticker here is a bridge claim, a meme, or an imitation; this deployment is the pump-era kind, not a wormhole-verified wrapper.
The October 6, 2026 snapshot shows about $44 thousand of liquidity and roughly 2,004 holders — real trading around a borrowed name. That doesn't make it fake money — it makes it a meme asset whose value is the name recognition of a top-10 chain's ticker on a chain it doesn't live on.
FAQ
Which is bigger, XRP or ADA?
By tracked market cap: XRP (BNB Chain) measures $485.86M and ADA (Solana) measures $282.96K — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, XRP or ADA?
On the contract checks we publish: XRP (BNB Chain) grades B and ADA (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have XRP and ADA performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show XRP at −11.2% and ADA at −35.0%.
The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-21→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
