XRP Price Debate: Could Reach $10K, Unlock $800 Trillion Liquidity

The XRP community is debating the feasibility of the token reaching extremely high prices, such as $1,000. With a circulating supply close to 60 billion XRP, this would imply a market cap of about $59.91 trillion, surpassing major global assets like gold.

Market Cap and Liquidity Concerns

Analysts argue that extreme price targets require unrealistic market values due to the interaction between money supply and valuation.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse suggests XRPL could handle 14% of SWIFT's transaction volume in five years, emphasizing liquidity over mere messaging.

Contrasting Views on Liquidity

Software engineer Vincent Van Code proposes XRP as a tool for liquidity movement rather than an asset to convert fully into fiat.
He suggests that at a $10,000 price, XRP could unlock more than $800 trillion in liquidity without crashing markets.

Criticism and Economic Policy

Critics highlight central banks' control over liquidity through monetary tools and question why governments would cede control to a digital token.
They point out that assumptions of wide adoption and trust in large trading pairs are challenging to achieve.
