I'm given to understand that establishing a market cap for Ripple remains a contentious issue.

Coinmarketcap.com says $257,071,246 with a total supply of 31,908,551,587 XRP.
Cryptorank.com doesn't have it listed.
Cryptocoincharts.info has it listed but doesn't show any figures ($0 with a total supply of 0).
Cryptmarketcap.com doesn't have it listed either.

It seems that many of these market cap lists exclude Ripple from their rankings. I couldn't find any option to show premined or non-mineable currencies like Coinmarketcap.com does either.

Take a look at these which I've been looking at:
http://www.cryptocoinrank.com

This one doesn't even have Litecoin listed properly. The supply looks to be correct but the value and trading volume is shown as $0. Perhaps some of their data sources are off or otherwise unavailable, or maybe it's an API issue.

You honestly using www.cryptocoinrank.com ? it has faircoin at number seven with a massive 24hvolume of $90.
YuanBaocoin a top 10 with a 24h volume of $20
no ripple, litecoin, dash, nxt......
wake up

Low volume coins tend to do that. Most market cap lists have the option to exclude low volume coins since they can mess up the rankings like that. The absense of Ripple and NXT seems to have been done on purpose. Notice how BitShares-PTS (which can be mined) is there but BitShares (which cannot be mined) isn't.
