XRP, currently battling to maintain the $0.57 mark, is considered by many as an undervalued token in the cryptocurrency market. The big question circulating: What if XRP could match Ethereum’s substantial $299 billion market cap?
XRP once stood as the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and held its position until Ethereum surged in 2016. The battle for supremacy continued until December 2017, when XRP’s market cap soared to $95.8 billion, surpassing Ethereum’s $70 billion. Ethereum regained the second spot, and the battle continued until late 2019.
The SEC lawsuit in December 2020 cast a shadow, impacting XRP’s standing. Despite Ethereum hitting $575 billion during the November 2021 bull run, XRP lagged at $60 billion. Now, it sits at the sixth spot among crypto assets, valued at $28.5 billion.
Losing ground to Binance Coin (BNB), Tether (USDT), and Solana (SOL), XRP faces challenges. Formerly a rival to Ethereum, it now strives for relevance. Analysts speculate on a potential XRP comeback, but uncertainties persist.
If XRP were to mirror Ethereum’s market cap at $299 billion, each XRP coin could be valued at $5.53. A staggering 957% surge from its current $0.5727, this hypothetical price would rewrite the token’s narrative, marking a new all-time high.
Dreaming big, if XRP reached a $1 trillion market cap like Bitcoin, its potential price could be around $18 per coin. A bold move, this scenario hints at substantial growth for the resilient token.
Looking Ahead
While these projections are speculative, they fuel discussions about XRP’s potential and its ability to reclaim a more prominent position in the cryptocurrency market.
