XRP analyst XRP PhantomX shared a post urging holders to carefully consider the potential scale of XRP’s future role in global finance.
In the tweet, he wrote: “Tell me why I shouldn’t be loading up on XRP right now?! Let’s break it down with some simple math. XRP Holders… YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!!” He attached a video presentation that outlined projected volumes from major global financial institutions and industries, linking them to possible market capitalization and price scenarios for XRP.

Calculations of Market Cap and Token Price
The video then applied simple calculations to show how different adoption levels might translate into market capitalization and token prices.
The speaker explained that if XRP captured just one percent of the total estimated volume, the market cap would be about $55 trillion. Dividing that by the cited circulating supply of 58 billion tokens gave a hypothetical price of $943 per XRP.
The speaker then extended the scenario to a ten percent share, which would imply a market cap of 550 trillion and a resulting price of $9,438 per XRP. A midpoint assumption of five percent produced an estimated price of $4,719. These examples were presented as hypothetical outcomes based on straightforward arithmetic rather than predictions.
Emphasis on Demand and Adoption
In conclusion, the video stressed that while the volume numbers referenced are based on industry-scale markets, the actual impact on XRP depends on adoption levels and demand.
The speaker underlined that factors such as integration by institutions, the role of liquidity, and real-world use cases would determine whether XRP could capture even a small portion of the markets discussed.
He described demand as the key factor in shaping XRP’s future value, reinforcing that the exercise was designed to illustrate scale and possibility rather than certainty.
