An assessment from Google Gemini suggests XRP price could reach double digits if the XRPL gets 10% of the projected $19 trillion RWA tokenization market.

Notably, Ripple believes tokenized real-world assets, or RWAs, will transform global finance over the next decade. In a recent report, the company highlighted estimates suggesting the total value of tokenized RWAs could reach nearly $19 trillion by 2033. Of this figure, tokenized real estate could make up $3.7 trillion, while tokenized equities could add another $2 trillion.

The Growing RWA Tokenization Market

For context, the market today looks far smaller but continues to grow steadily. Data from RWA.xyz shows that the total value of tokenized assets on-chain stands at $26.48 billion. 

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) holds $302.8 million of this amount, which gives it a 1.14% share and places it ninth among blockchains supporting tokenized assets. The numbers may look modest for now, but some analysts believe XRPL’s design gives it the potential to capture a much larger share of the market in the years ahead.

Notably, XRP currently trades at $3.14 with a circulating supply of 59.3 billion coins. Proponents have suggested this is an undervaluation, pointing to the XRPL’s efficiency and built-in features as reasons it could stand out in the race for tokenization. 

Ripple highlighted this in a February report, explaining that issuers can create tokens on XRPL quickly without relying on complex coding or specialized smart contracts. Once issued, tokens instantly become tradable on XRPL’s decentralized exchange, and auto-bridging ensures smooth liquidity across assets. 

XRP Price if the XRPL Gets 10% of the Projected $19T RWA Market

The question now is how much this could mean for XRP’s price if XRPL captures a bigger slice of the RWA market. We asked Google Gemini to make an assessment. Specifically, we asked what XRP could be worth if XRPL secured 10% of the projected $19 trillion tokenized asset market by 2033.

Gemini calculated that a 10% share would put XRPL in control of $1.9 trillion worth of tokenized assets. Under its first model, Gemini assumed a direct relationship between XRP’s market capitalization and the total value of RWAs on the ledger. 

In that case, XRP’s market cap would also stand at $1.9 trillion. With the current supply of 59.3 billion tokens, the price per XRP could reach $32.04. However, this seems highly improbable, especially considering that with the XRPL hosting $308 million in RWA, XRP’s market cap stands at $187 billion.

Notably, in the second model, Gemini assumed that XRP’s market cap also benefits from a speculative premium. It noted that this premium could come from XRP’s role as a bridge currency and the broader network effects around XRPL. If the market cap doubled to $3.8 trillion, Gemini estimates XRP’s price could rise as high as $64.08.

A market commentator has shared his predictions for the prices of Bitcoin, XRP, and other assets in 12 months, with a bearish outlook on Ethereum.

This mixed outlook comes from Parker, a Florida-based trader and community influencer. The market analyst revealed that he expects Bitcoin to soar to a price of $210,000 by August 2026. With BTC currently changing hands at $117,842, this would represent a 78% increase for the crypto firstborn within 12 months.

Notably, this is a rather realistic expectation, considering Bitcoin’s past performance. For context, the premier crypto asset traded for $64,612 a year ago. With the current $117,842 price, this indicates that Bitcoin has increased 82% over the past year.

Parker expects it to replicate this run over the next 12 months, and this could materialize if ETFs and Treasury companies maintain their bullish momentum. Interestingly, The Crypto Basic recently highlighted a similar $210,000 Bitcoin price prediction from crypto channel Altcoin Daily. 

XRP Price Prediction if Bitcoin Hits $210,000

However, while Altcoin Daily’s projection suggested that XRP could soar to a peak of $7 if BTC claims this high, Parker is less bullish on XRP. Specifically, he predicts an XRP price run to $4.5 over the next year, especially with Bitcoin hitting $210,000.

With XRP currently trading for $3.11, this represents a mere 44% for the altcoin. Notably, this forecast is rather unrealistic because XRP has repeatedly outperformed Bitcoin during periods of market upside due to its greater volatility.

While this volatility leads to steeper declines for XRP during a downturn, it also results in greater price surges when the market is seeing positive momentum. For instance, when BTC soared 37% in November 2024 after the U.S. elections, XRP rallied by an explosive 283%. Also, in January 2025, BTC rose 9.67% while XRP spiked 45.98%.

Considering this pattern, a suggestion that XRP would rally 44% during a period when BTC rises 78% does not reflect recent market realities. Notably, most analysts also disagree with the prediction of an XRP top of $4.5 in the next year. For one, Jake Gagain expects XRP to reach $7.5 in 2025. 

Bearish on Ethereum; Mildly Bullish on Other Altcoins

Interestingly, Parker also suggests Ethereum is likely to remain at the $4,000 price range over the next year. His disclosure comes at a time when Ethereum has been performing better than the rest of the market over multiple time frames. Specifically, while the total crypto market cap has increased 5.23% this month, ETH has witnessed a more substantial 20% rise within the same period. 

At press time, Ethereum changes hands at $4,453, up 33.7% this year. However, Parker believes the price will remain stagnant over the next year. This contrasts with the prediction from banking institution Standard Chartered, which recently reviewed its Ethereum price prediction for 2025 to $7,500. Also, Tom Lee expects ETH to hit $10,000 this year. 

Meanwhile, in his recent commentary, Parker confirmed he was mildly bullish on other assets. Specifically, he predicts Sui to rise to $6, representing a 60% increase from the current price of $3.74. Also, he expects Solana (SOL) to spike 165% to $500, marking his most bullish expectation.

A prominent market analyst has suggested that XRP is currently witnessing its “hardest” bull run, insisting that it could make investors rich.

The recent declaration comes on the back of the resilience XRP has shown above the $3 price mark. Specifically, after soaring to $3 in January 2025 for the first time in seven years, XRP relinquished the price level shortly after and continued to face resistance at the mark until mid-July.

Since recovering $3 in July, XRP has flipped this area into support, and several analysts believe this is an extremely bullish sign. One such analyst is Steph, who has recently suggested that XRP could be witnessing its “hardest” bull market in history.

Notably, Steph leveraged data from the weekly XRP chart to provide this assertion, calling attention to a recent bullish breakout above a long-standing descending trendline. Interestingly, historical data indicates that whenever XRP breaks above this trendline, the resulting price action is typically explosive.

XRP Historical Behavior Around Descending Trendlines

The pattern has played out every year since 2022. Specifically, when XRP collapsed after the Terra implosion in May 2022, the resulting downtrend led to the formation of a descending trendline. However, by September 2022, XRP staged a breakout and eventually rallied to a high of $0.55.

However, as it dropped from this $0.55 peak, another descending trendline formed until July 2023, when it broke out on the back of the favorable ruling in the SEC vs. Ripple case. This breakout led to a push toward a peak of $0.94. 

Meanwhile, following a slump from the $0.94 peak, XRP witnessed another descending trendline. Nonetheless, it staged a breakout following the U.S. elections in November 2024 and eventually reached a new high of $3.4 by January 2025. 

XRP Could Surge to $14 After Trendline Breakout

XRP again dropped from the $3.4 peak and consolidated around $2 for over five months, as it observed another descending trendline. However, the recent rally above $3 in July resulted in another breakout. Now, Steph believes the resulting price action could lead to another price uptrend.

His chart projects a possible uptick to $14 for XRP, representing a 348% increase from the current price of $3.12. Notably, while some have already sold off their holdings with the initial rally above $3, Steph congratulated those who have remained in the market, insinuating that they could see higher returns. Steph has consistently called for $14, urging investors last November to purchase XRP before it hits $14. 

Interestingly, besides Steph, other market commentators have projected a possible XRP rally to the $14 mark. In May, pseudonymous analyst Papa claimed that XRP was “screaming higher.” Despite XRP trading for $2 at the time, Papa predicted a rally to $14, citing Fibonacci targets. Last March, analyst JD predicted a minimal XRP target of $14.

XRP advocate Armando Pantoja has outlined how he believes market sentiment will evolve as the token climbs from single digits into triple and even four-digit territory. 

His framework mirrors similar ultra-bullish outlooks from other pro-XRP commentators who see today’s $3 XRP as merely the beginning. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $3.06, holding steady after days of volatility.

Early Stages: From $4 to $15

According to Pantoja, XRP at $4 would still be dismissed by skeptics, who would mock the move as insignificant. Notably, from today’s price, XRP only needs to surge 31% to break above $4.

Meanwhile, as XRP pushes toward the $10–$15 range, Pantoja expects discomfort from sidelined investors. He sees many insisting they’ll wait for a dip below $1 to buy back in.

This aligns with earlier commentary from BarriC. He forecasted that around these levels, critics would stop ignoring XRP and begin questioning why the asset continues to rise after years of underperformance compared to Bitcoin.

Panic Mode at $100

The real turning point, according to Pantoja, would be at the $100 mark. At that stage, panic would set in. Detractors who once dismissed XRP would realize the move was far more significant than anticipated.

This projection echoes Black Swan Capitalist’s Versan Aljarrah, who has argued that XRP priced in the hundreds would reflect its role as a bridge asset for tokenized finance, enabling trillions in real-time settlements across borders.

Notably, Aljarrah believes a $3 XRP price is unsustainable in a tokenized economy, as its liquidity would be too limited for large-scale flows. His view suggests that much higher valuations are a necessity rather than speculation.

Full-Blown Mania at $1,000

At the four-digit threshold, Pantoja predicts “full-blown FOMO” alongside a supply crunch, with investors scrambling to secure even a single XRP. This outlook is consistent with past community predictions that XRP’s limited supply, coupled with transaction burns, will eventually create scarcity as institutional demand surges.

Interestingly, some, like crypto founder Jake Claver, go even further. He has boldly argued that XRP may need to reach $10,000 to handle trillion-dollar institutional transactions efficiently. While such valuations raise eyebrows due to market cap implications, advocates maintain that higher prices are essential for scalability.

Skeptics’ Angle

Despite the bullish scenarios, skepticism remains strong. At a $1,000 valuation, XRP would imply a market cap of around $59 trillion. This figure far exceeds today’s global equity markets. Critics argue that such targets are detached from realistic market structures.

XRP remains at $3.06, a far cry from the scenarios painted by Pantoja and others. Yet within the XRP community, the prevailing belief is that current levels represent the last opportunity to accumulate cheaply before the token’s role in the global financial system drives prices far higher.
