DONT EXPECT FAIRY TALE PRICES !
Current XRP supply: ~100 billion coins (though not all are in circulation)
At $100 per XRP, the total market cap would be:
100 billion x $100 = $10 trillion
That’s larger than Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon combined, and comparable to the entire gold market cap. For context:
Bitcoin's all-time high market cap: ~$1.3 trillion
Total crypto market cap (May 2025): ~$2–3 trillion
So XRP would need to dominate the entire crypto space and potentially spill into traditional finance systems.
2. Global Adoption as a Financial Rail
Ripple markets XRP as a bridge currency for global payments. For XRP to hit $100, it would likely require:
Adoption by central banks and financial institutions worldwide
XRP being used in trillions of dollars in daily transactions
Integration with CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and SWIFT alternatives
3. Legal Clarity and Regulatory Approval
Ripple's ongoing legal battle with the U.S. SEC (as of 2024) plays a big role.
XRP would need to be:
Clearly classified as not a security
Regulated in a way that allows institutional adoption
Widely listed and tradable on major exchanges without restrictions
4. Scarcity or Token Burning
If Ripple were to burn a large portion of the supply, or if large amounts were locked indefinitely, it could boost the price by reducing available supply — especially if demand rises.
5. Speculative Mania
While fundamentals are key, crypto is often driven by hype cycles:
An unprecedented bull market
Major influencer or institutional endorsements
Widespread retail speculation
Bottom Line:
$100 XRP = ~$10 trillion market cap
This would require extreme adoption, regulatory approval, global financial integration, and/or major supply reduction.
