A recent analysis has examined how XRP’s price would change if the token’s circulating supply were equivalent to Bitcoin’s current supply. The findings suggest that, under these conditions, XRP could reach a four-figure valuation per token. XRP has consistently ranked among the top five cryptocurrencies since its launch over 13 years ago. Despite its longevity, XRP’s market capitalization and per-token price remain far below Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency. Historically, XRP has occasionally approached Bitcoin’s market cap, but the gap has expanded significantly in recent years. For context, in late December 2014, Bitcoin had a market cap of $4.3 billion, while XRP stood at $736 million, meaning Bitcoin was approximately 5 times larger. By early January 2018, Bitcoin’s market value had reached $276.6 billion compared with XRP’s $130.85 billion, a ratio of roughly 2.1. Today, however, XRP’s market capitalization is $123.7 billion, whereas Bitcoin has grown to $1.8 trillion, making it 14.5 times larger than XRP. Despite this disparity , XRP’s circulating supply has increased at a higher rate than Bitcoin’s over the same period, highlighting the differing inflation dynamics of the two networks. Currently, XRP has 60.69 billion tokens in circulation, while Bitcoin’s circulating supply is 19.97 million. In early 2018, these figures were 38.739 billion for XRP and 16.788 million for Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s smaller supply, combined with steady adoption, has enabled it to achieve much higher market capitalization, underscoring the impact of scarcity on token value. Some analysts within the XRP community argue that the SEC’s lawsuit, initiated in December 2020, significantly constrained XRP’s growth. The legal dispute, which led to delistings on several U.S. exchanges, is often cited as a primary reason XRP missed the 2021 bull run, limiting its ability to track broader market growth. Consequently, XRP currently trades around $2.10 , far below Bitcoin’s price of $93,566 , which has surpassed its previous December 2017 high of $19,666. To explore the theoretical impact of supply reduction, analysts calculated the XRP price, assuming its market capitalization remained at $123.7 billion. Still, its circulating supply matched that of Bitcoin, at 19.97 million tokens. Under this scenario, the price of a single XRP token would rise to approximately $6,194, reflecting a 294,859% increase over its current trading price.

It is important to note that the XRP Ledger was not designed to aggressively burn tokens to boost price. While some investors have speculated that a lower supply could elevate prices, the protocol’s token economics primarily prioritize liquidity and transaction efficiency rather than artificially limiting supply for valuation purposes. Nonetheless, this analysis highlights the substantial theoretical upside XRP could experience under a reduced circulating supply model, providing a clear perspective on the relationship between token scarcity and market value.
