Market watchers are analyzing the potential price surge of XRP if it achieves Bitcoin’s current market valuation.
Amonyx, a prominent XRP-focused analyst, shared insights via X, referencing CoinGecko data to project XRP’s hypothetical value at Bitcoin’s $2.1 trillion market cap.
Currently, XRP trades at $2.20** with a **$130 billion market cap, ranking it fourth among cryptocurrencies. With a circulating supply of 59 billion tokens, matching Bitcoin’s valuation would price each XRP at ~$35.60—a 1,520% increase.
🔍 Did you know? If XRP reached Bitcoin’s market cap, 1 XRP would equal $35+.

Skepticism vs. Optimism
Critics argue that XRP’s trillion-dollar milestone is ambitious short-term, given Bitcoin’s dominance (the only crypto to sustain such valuation). Ethereum, despite peaking at $561 billion in 2021, has struggled to maintain comparable momentum.
