XRP Price Projection: What Happens If It Recaptures Just 50% of Its Peak Market Dominance?

XRP's path to redemption might be closer than you think—and the numbers could shock you.

Market dominance isn't just a vanity metric. When XRP last ruled the roost, its price action made headlines worldwide. Now, as whispers of a comeback grow louder, we're crunching the data on what half that dominance could mean for your portfolio.

The math doesn't lie—but the SEC might.

Forget moonboy hype. This is cold, hard scenario analysis based on historical performance. No guarantees, no hopium—just the unvarnished potential of a digital asset fighting to reclaim its throne.

Wall Street's still betting against crypto. Meanwhile, XRP's gearing up for round two.

XRP Peak Market DominanceXRP Peak Market Dominance On May 17, 2017, Bitcoin had a market cap of around $29 billion, representing a market dominance of 59.45%. Since then, Bitcoin has only grown alongside the broader market, while XRP has not observed a similar growth. Bitcoin's market cap now stands at $2.132 trillion, a 7,251% increase since May 2017. Meanwhile, XRP currently has a market cap of $128.8 billion, marking an increase of just 743% from the May 2017 figures. As a result, while Bitcoin's market dominance has increased to 65.75% at press time, XRP's dominance is now 3.96%, a massive crash from the 31.33% peak in May 2017. XRP Price at Half Its Peak Market Dominance At this position, XRP trades for $2.18, a price at which many consider it massively undervalued. However, what if XRP maintained its 31.33% market dominance now that the crypto market has grown to $3.28 trillion? We recently considered this reality. However, we reduced the dominance by half for a more realistic estimate. Notably, half of the 31.33% dominance stands at 15.665%. If XRP had a 15.665% market dominance with the broader market at $3.28 trillion, its market cap would sit at $513.8 billion. At this valuation, the price of XRP would rise to $8.7, considering the current circulating supply of 59 billion tokens. Interestingly, CryptosRus founder George Tung suggested last month that XRP's realistic target for the end of this year is $8 to $10. However, while the $8 target is a higher valuation for XRP, some community pundits like Xena have insisted that it's not a major achievement. Importantly, if instead of reaching half of its peak market dominance, XRP claimed the full figure, the price could reach higher levels. Specifically, XRP's market cap would reach $1.027 trillion at a 31.33% market dominance, considering the current crypto cap of $3.28 trillion. At this valuation, the price of 1 XRP would hit $17.4.
