    XRP Price Prediction if Ripple IPO Goes Public

    • currency-symbol XRP $ 2.28 (4.38%) top gainer
    Story Highlights
    • An AI analysis explores XRP's potential price if Ripple's market cap matched tech giants post-IPO.

    • Hypothetical scenarios suggest XRP could reach $440-$735, but this relies on significant factors.

    • Despite the exciting projections, Ripple has no immediate IPO plans, making these prices speculative.

    A new post by Italian crypto analyst Fabio Zuccara is making waves in the XRP community. Why? Because it explores a bold scenario: what if Ripple goes public and eventually matches the market value of tech giants like Google, Apple, or Microsoft? And more importantly, what could that mean for XRP’s price?

    Letโ€™s unpack this attention-grabbing prediction.

    Where Ripple and XRP Stand Right Now

    Currently, XRP is the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, sitting at $137.36 billion. Over the past year, its price has climbed an impressive 343.1%, now trading at $2.34. The 24-hour trading volume is $3.11 billion, and there are 58.62 billion XRP in circulation.

    Ripple Labs, the company behind XRPโ€™s core technology, is valued at an estimated $10.88 billion.

    Grokโ€™s XRP Price Prediction if Ripple Goes Public

    As per Grok, the AI chatbot from Elon Muskโ€™s xAI, to simulate how XRPโ€™s price could evolve based on Rippleโ€™s hypothetical IPO and massive future growth.

    Hereโ€™s what the Grok-powered scenario analysis suggests:

    • If Rippleโ€™s valuation matches Google ($2.021 trillion), XRP could reach $440.46
    • If Ripple matches Apple ($3.155 trillion), XRP could hit $687.47
    • If Ripple equals Microsoft ($3.376 trillion), XRP could soar to $735.58

    Note: Although Ripple and XRP are separate entities, the analysis assumes XRPโ€™s value is closely tied to Rippleโ€™s success โ€” a common perspective among many investors.

    What Do Experts Actually Think?

    Despite the excitement, many crypto analysts are skeptical. Most experts suggest that XRP could reach between $3 and $20 by 2030 in a more realistic scenario.

    Crypto analyst Zuccara acknowledges that a $735 price point for XRP would require:

    • Global crypto adoption
    • Clear and supportive regulations
    • Massive institutional investment
    • And above all, Ripple actually going public

    Ripple IPO? Not So Fast

    While the idea of a Ripple IPO is appealing to many investors, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has previously clarified that there are no plans for an IPO in the near future.

    Until Ripple officially announces otherwise, such predictions โ€” while fascinating โ€” remain speculative.

    Final Thoughts

    While Grokโ€™s AI-based scenario adds an interesting layer to the XRP price discussion, it’s important to remember the difference between possibility and probability. The $735 target is based on ideal conditions that may not unfold.

    Still, the post has successfully reignited conversations around Rippleโ€™s future โ€” and what that could mean for XRP holders.
