XRP’s Audacious Goal: The Exact Price It Must Hit To Topple Bitcoin From #1 (Spoiler: It’s Not for the Faint-Hearted)

Forget "flippening"—XRP's gunning for total domination. One crypto analyst claims Ripple's powerhouse is primed to dethrone Bitcoin, but the path won't be cheap. Here's the brutal math.

The Price Tag of Rebellion

To surpass Bitcoin's market cap, XRP needs a moonshot valuation that'd make even Wall Street's most reckless hedge fund managers blush. We're talking triple-digit price targets—anything less is just noise.

Why the Crypto Underdog Thinks It Can Win

Faster transactions? Check. Institutional backing? Obviously. A legal team that's already survived the SEC's worst punches? Priceless. XRP's playing chess while others struggle with checkers.

The Cold Hard Reality

Let's be real—Bitcoin won't surrender its crown without a fight. But in a world where Dogecoin once had a $80B market cap, maybe anything's possible. (Then again, so are margin calls and liquidations.)

Edoardo Farina on XEdoardo Farina on X Given this optimism, The Crypto Basic recently estimated the price XRP would need to reach in order to match Bitcoin’s market cap and potentially surpass it. At What Price Would XRP Overtake Bitcoin? Currently, XRP has a circulating supply of about 59 billion tokens. Assuming this supply remains constant, a valuation of $2.2 trillion, slightly above Bitcoin's, would require XRP to be priced at around $37.30 per token. With XRP currently at $2.34, reaching $37.30 would require approximately 1,500% growth. If XRP were to rise by this margin while Bitcoin’s value remained static, XRP could become the leading cryptocurrency. However, this is a purely hypothetical scenario. XRP may not achieve such a massive price appreciation without Bitcoin also increasing in value. Any further growth in Bitcoin's price would widen the gap, making it more difficult for XRP to claim the top spot. When Could XRP Reach $37? Regarding when XRP could reach $37, opinions among market watchers vary widely. For instance, analyst XForceGlobal has predicted that XRP could reach $40 within this year. Meanwhile, Dustin Layton believes it could even surpass $50 by the end of 2025. These forecasts often rely on XRP’s technical indicators and historical price trends. Conversely, research platforms are projecting much longer timelines for XRP to reach the $37 mark. For example, the prediction platform Telegaon estimates XRP could hit $37 by 2030. Asset manager Bitwise also forecasted a potential high of $30 by 2030 under extremely bullish conditions. Changelly, on the other hand, offers a more conservative outlook, suggesting XRP might not reach $37 until 2032. Essentially, while many of these forecasts lean toward caution, several independent analysts within the XRP community remain more optimistic about XRP’s long-term potential.
