Analysis Places XRP Price at $18,181 if It Captures 50% of Liquidity from DTCC and SWIFT

A recent analysis suggests XRP price could rise to an audacious 5-digit level if XRP captures 50% of liquidity from DTCC and SWIFT.

Notably, XRP has been on a bearish trend lately, dropping toward the lower end of the $2 range as the broader crypto market went through another wave of correction. 

Is XRP Still Following the 2017 Fractal?

Despite the pullback, optimism in the XRP community remains strong. Several market commentators believe the token is still moving in line with the same price pattern it followed during the 2017/2018 bull run.

Interestingly, community analyst Remi Relief recently shared this, suggesting XRP could see an explosive rally if it keeps following the historical trend. Based on his calculations, XRP could surge to around $1,695. This represents a massive 76,700% increase from its recent price of about $2.21.

Speaking further, Relief shared a range of potential outcomes depending on how long this market cycle lasts and how much real-world utility XRP gains. Specifically, he used the same $2.21 base price to estimate that a 50,000% rise could send XRP to roughly $1,105. 

Meanwhile, a 100,000% gain could push it near $2,210, while a 150,000% jump might take it all the way to $3,315. He also noted that these figures assume there are favorable market conditions, clear regulations, and no major global disruptions like wars or large-scale financial crises.

XRP Price Could Hit $18,181

After Relief’s post, another commentator suggested that the higher-end projections, like the 150,000% gain, might align with scenarios where XRP processes a portion of the liquidity that flows through major financial networks such as DTCC and SWIFT. He then shared an analysis from ChatGPT.

The assessment presented several hypothetical price points for XRP based on how much of DTCC and SWIFT’s combined liquidity it could handle. Specifically, if XRP processed just 1% of the flow, the estimated price would be around $363. At 5%, it would rise to about $1,818, and at 10%, roughly $3,636. 

Meanwhile, the 50% scenario projects an audacious $18,181 per XRP. The commenter suggests Relief’s analysis reflects this 50% scenario. Nonetheless, the boldest case, assuming XRP handled 100% of DTCC and SWIFT liquidity, puts the price near $36,363.

However, it is important to note that these numbers come from speculation and not concrete data or technical analysis. They rely on the assumption that XRP becomes the main settlement bridge for global transactions, but this is far from certain today. 

Notably, DTCC and SWIFT move quadrillions of dollars each year, but there’s no sign yet that such a large share of that volume will shift to XRP anytime soon.
