Monero Surpasses Chainlink in Market Cap, Narrowly Edges Out Top 10 Ranking

Monero has reclaimed its spot among the top ten cryptocurrencies, narrowly edging out Chainlink by $110 million in market capitalization. According to CoinMarketCap data, Monero's valuation stands at approximately $10.07 billion, while Chainlink's is around $9.96 billion.

The privacy-focused token secured its position after a substantial rally that began in early August, when XMR traded near $350. The coin climbed toward $570 before consolidating around $536, despite a 1.4% decline over the past week.

Chainlink, on the other hand, has delivered stronger short-term performance, gaining nearly 18% over the past seven days and breaking above the psychologically important $13 level on its daily chart.
