XRP price could reach greater heights if the asset secures a large portion of the projected $18.9 trillion tokenization market cap.
A recent post by the community-driven X account All Things XRP has reintroduced discussion surrounding XRP’s possible utility in the tokenization of global assets.
Tokenization Market Could Hit $18.9T
The analyst behind the account called attention to a recent joint report from Ripple and Boston Consulting Group (BCG), highlighting the massive growth expected in the tokenization space and XRP’s possible positioning to benefit from it.
For context, the report, titled “Approaching the Tokenization Tipping Point”, projects that tokenized assets could hit $16 trillion by 2033, representing roughly 10% of global GDP. However, broader market assessments push this figure even higher—potentially to $18.9 trillion.
Notably, in the commentary, the All Things XRP account emphasized how the XRP Ledger, with its established infrastructure and native token XRP, is in a good position to facilitate value movement in the growing tokenization market.
According to the post, tokenization – essentially putting real-world assets like real estate, equities, bonds, carbon credits, and art on the blockchain – introduces massive efficiency for trading and moving real-world assets.
Specifically, the benefits of tokenizing these assets include 24/7 trading, instant settlement, global accessibility, and lower transaction friction.
Ripple and Other Firms Already Making Inroads
Further, the concept isn’t merely hypothetical, as major financial institutions such as JPMorgan, HSBC, BlackRock, and Citi are already involved in early-stage tokenization initiatives.
For instance, BlackRock has continued to expand its BUIDL tokenized fund, recently introducing it to the Solana blockchain. In addition, last December, ten global financial giants, including JPMorgan, Citi, MasterCard, and Visa, completed a tokenization trial using DLT for settlements.
Interestingly, as interest in tokenization grows, the XRP Ledger is in a position to support the market, All Things XRP stressed. Ripple CTO David Schwartz predicted that the XRPL could become the preferred platform for tokenization. With this, XRP could serve as a bridge currency.
Further, Ripple’s strategy includes building tokenization infrastructure, including liquidity hubs and interoperability tools, to become a major part of the market. Schwartz confirmed two years back that Ripple is already looking to pivot toward tokenization. Last November, Ripple and Archax launched a tokenized fund on the XRPL.
XRP Price if It Captures 20% of Projected Tokenization Market
If this push is successful, and XRP secures a major share of the projected $18.9 trillion tokenization market, its valuation could surge.
Assuming XRP captures just 20% of that market, this would translate into a $3.78 trillion market cap for XRP. This valuation would exceed the current market capitalization of Bitcoin at $1.7 trillion and the overall crypto market cap of $2.69 trillion.
At this $3.78 trillion valuation, XRP’s price per token depends heavily on the circulating supply. If all 99 billion tokens are in circulation, the price of one XRP would hit $37.8. This would mark a staggering 1,658% increase from XRP’s present trading price of $2.15.
However, should fewer tokens be in circulation at that time, say, 70 billion instead of the full supply, the price of each XRP token would rise to $54.
Interestingly, some analysts have already predicted a potential surge to the $37 to $38 range. Dutch-based technical analyst Gert van Lagen previously identified large-scale bullish chart patterns on XRP’s 2-week chart, including a double bottom and an ascending triangle, and set a $38 price target.
$XRP [2W] is set to continue its bull market parabolically after bouncing off the neckline of this 7-year-old Double Bottom / Ascending Triangle, targeting at least $38.
Last break out of lesser caliber brought price twice its parabolic target, so this is very conservative. pic.twitter.com/acgv0ow7dl
