Analyst projects XRP hitting $3,700 at 10% DTCC volume

Analyst models $3,700 XRP on DTCC flow capture. Focus shifts from hype to Ripple’s plumbing.

Legacy rails move the bulk of settlements. DTCC handles about $3.7 quadrillion a year across decades‑old systems according to NewsBTC.

Tokenization needs 24/7 rails and compliant liquidity. Ripple’s stack and the XRP Ledger are cited as candidates for that role by NewsBTC and sector commentators. Some analysts argue infrastructure, not narratives, drives the outlook for XRP per Bitcoinist and see 2026 as pivotal for Ripple’s roadmap per Bitcoinist.

Two high‑profile hires add weight. Michael Bodson, ex‑DTCC CEO, and Rosie Rios, ex‑US Treasurer, have joined Ripple, as noted in coverage on NewsBTC.

A crypto analyst, X Finance Bull, ties this positioning to price discovery. Their model applies DTCC volumes to XRP as a bridge asset in a post on X and echoes prior arguments on potential pricing from NewsBTC.

Key assumptions:
- DTCC annual volume 3.7 quadrillion dollars per NewsBTC
- 100 billion circulating XRP
- Share of flow routed via XRP as a liquidity bridge

Implied prices from the model per X Finance Bull:
- 1% share: $37 trillion flow, about $370 per XRP
- 10% share: $370 trillion flow, about $3,700 per XRP
- 50% share: about $18,500 per XRP

Ripple’s planned stablecoin RLUSD is positioned as the “cash leg,” with XRP as the neutral bridge, the analyst says on X.
