XRP to $100 Possibility, Analyst Busts The Most Common Myth
April 25, 2025
A growing number of XRP advocates are pushing back against the widespread belief that XRP may never reach $100 due to its market capitalization. According to the crypto analyst “All Things XRP,” this belief is not only outdated but also based on a fundamental “misunderstanding” of how financial markets function.
Market Cap Is Not a Ceiling
Notably, critics often argue that XRP’s large supply makes a high price point like $100 mathematically impossible. However, the analyst explains that market cap, calculated as price multiplied by circulating supply, is not a true reflection of invested capital. Drawing a comparison to real estate, he argued that saying XRP can’t hit $100 is like saying no one can buy a $10 million home because the average house costs $300,000.
To support his claim, “All Things XRP” cited a case where an $80 million inflow into XRP supposedly led to a $17 billion increase in market cap. This was a staggering 212x multiplier. In his view, this shows how relatively small capital inflows can spark massive price surges, especially in low-liquidity environments.
The analyst further claimed that XRP’s liquid supply is minimal, with less than 5% of the total supply actively traded. Most tokens are either in long-term holdings or locked in escrow. According to him, this limited liquid supply amplifies the impact of new demand.
More Than a Coin: XRP as Financial Infrastructure
“All Things XRP” also emphasized that the token’s utility goes far beyond speculation. He pointed out that XRP is built for cross-border payments and integrated into worldwide banking systems and payment platforms. Given the trillions of dollars in potential daily transaction volume, the token could serve as the backbone for next-generation finance.
He also highlighted XRP’s expanding ecosystem, including DeFi integrations, EVM-compatible sidechains, and passive income opportunities through staking and liquidity protocols. As adoption grows, so does the pressure on its limited tradable supply.
“$100 XRP Not Far-Fetched”
“All Things XRP” suggested that even an $8 billion capital inflow could push XRP’s price into the $30–$40 range. With additional catalysts such as speculative rallies, ETF approvals, and institutional interest, the $100 mark may not be as far-fetched as critics claim. He further pointed to the $300 trillion global cross-border payments market as a massive opportunity. With its speed, scalability, and cost-efficiency, XRP is in a good position to capture a share of this flow. This could potentially support a much higher valuation.
8️⃣ XRP is built to scale with the future of finance.
The $300T cross-border payments market isn’t sci-fi—it’s the goal.
And XRP is positioned to be the backbone.

While skeptics continue to dismiss XRP’s potential based on market cap metrics, proponents argue that liquidity, adoption, and growing use cases make ambitious price targets possible. However, critics of this alternative perspective often fail to propose a viable valuation model that accounts for a potential $100 XRP price.
Using Bitcoin as an example, its current market cap is $1.83 trillion, based on a circulating supply of 19.85 million coins and a unit price of $92,600. Just 12 years ago, Bitcoin was trading around $100, with a market cap of $1.1 billion and a circulating supply of about 11 million tokens at the time. This comparison shows the relevance of market cap as a valuation metric, especially for crypto assets with fixed supply like XRP. At $100, XRP’s market cap, based on a circulating supply of 58 billion tokens, would be $5.8 trillion.
While critics argue that such a valuation is excessive for the near term, others believe it’s not entirely unrealistic in the long run.
