Gemini jumps past Coinbase and Robinhood on the US App Store after launching its XRP Mastercard, boosting growth in the Ripple ecosystem.
Gemini is now ranked higher in the US Apple App Store than Coinbase and Robinhood.
This follows the release of its recently introduced XRP Mastercard.
Since then, the platform has garnered positive feedback from the digital asset and financial sectors.
With XRP Mastercard launch, Gemini Soars
Gemini is ranked 11th in the US iOS App Store, ahead of Coinbase at 25th and Robinhood at 18th.
For the exchange, this is a significant development. It demonstrates how new products might draw in more customers.
This came after the exchange declared that the XRP Mastercard would be available on its network.
The card offers up to 4% cashback in XRP on ordinary transactions and has no annual fee.
Its launch is in conjunction with Gemini’s much-anticipated IPO, for which Ripple apparently contributes funds.
The card introduction elicited responses from prominent players in the bitcoin sector.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said it was a significant turning point for the XRP community.
David Schwartz, the CTO of Ripple, also added a humorous post.
With items and the new rewards card, he joked about living the “full XRP lifestyle.”
This is a component of their plan to combine cryptocurrency accessibility with traditional finance.
In contrast, Ripple views it as a valuable gateway for millions of Americans to access digital assets.
Gemini disclosed that consumers who choose to earn XRP under its previous rewards system and kept it experienced returns of around 450% between October 2021 and July 2025.
This performance history is boosting hopes that the new XRP Mastercard will draw in the “XRP Army” and a wider range of customers looking for long-term benefits.
Momentum In Ripple Ecosystem Increases
The XRP Mastercard launch coincides with other ecosystem advancements after Ripple’s assistance with Gemini’s IPO attempts.
For instance, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, recently raised the possibility of working with the XRP community.
He suggested that XRP might be integrated into the Lace Wallet before the year ended.
At the same time, Gemini has increased its use of the US dollar stablecoin, RLUSD.
The exchange now permits traders to use RLUSD as a base currency on its spot trading platform.
This reduces conversion fees and provides traders with direct access to liquidity.
Coinbase and Robinhood are losing users while Gemini expands, indicating a shift in user preferences.
This move implies that Gemini’s new offerings have the potential to alter investor perceptions of the market swiftly.
Following the settlement of the XRP case, Ripple is putting itself in a position to boost adoption.
