Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has climbed ahead of Coinbase in the U.S. App Store finance rankings after unveiling a new XRP-rewards credit card in partnership with Ripple Labs and Mastercard. The limited-edition metal card offers up to 4% cashback in XRP instantly, making it one of the first credit products tied directly to the cryptocurrency. Data from Sensor Tower shows Gemini reaching 16th place in the finance category, while Coinbase slipped to 20th at the time of publication. The shift is notable given Coinbase’s much larger market share —recent Messari data indicates Coinbase processes more than three times Gemini’s daily trading volume. Gemini Gains Momentum in App Store Rankings Tyler Winklevoss celebrated the development on social media, declaring, “The flippening is accelerating.” His comments were echoed by many crypto community members who saw the rankings change as symbolic of shifting momentum in the ongoing competition between exchanges. Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse also weighed in, calling the card’s debut “a milestone moment” for the XRP community. He wrote on X, “An XRP rewards credit card out in the world?! What a time to be alive, XRP family.” App Store analytics platform App Tweak notes that rankings are determined by multiple factors including keyword optimization, download velocity, user reviews, app stability, and retention rates. The boost in Gemini’s rankings suggests that the XRP card launch drove a surge in downloads and user interest. Coinbase Maintains Lead in Trading Volume Despite Gemini’s climb in visibility, Coinbase remains far ahead in actual trading activity. CoinMarketCap data shows Coinbase handling $4.54 billion in trades over the past 24 hours, ranking it the third-largest exchange globally. By comparison, Gemini managed $382.49 million in volume, placing it 24th. The timing of the app ranking surge comes just weeks after Gemini filed to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq under the ticker GEMI. The filing marks Gemini’s first attempt at going public, with its IPO to be led by banking giants including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup. While Gemini’s trading volumes remain modest compared to Coinbase, its innovative approach with the XRP credit card and upcoming public listing may mark the beginning of a broader push to expand its presence in the U.S. crypto market.
