Is Such A Price Point Possible?
While investors might be giddy to see such value predictions, it doesn’t make them possible and the proof lies within the provide of XRP. With a 100 billion complete provide, a $10,000 value level would put the market cap of XRP at over $100 trillion, which is definitely unattainable on condition that the overall crypto market cap is sitting at solely $1 trillion.
To put this in perspective, the gold market cap, which occurs to be a fairly limitless useful resource, was solely at a $12.7 trillion market cap on the finish of 2021. Bitcoin which is the pioneer cryptocurrency, topped out at a $1.27 trillion market cap in the course of the 2021 bull market.
If there was a burn mechanism that drastically diminished the XRP supply over the subsequent few years, then a $10,000 value level might be potential. However, with no burn mechanism and such a big provide nonetheless being accessible, a double-digit value level could be a name for celebration among the many neighborhood.
