The claim that XRP could rise to $100 is once again shaking the market. The key is not the market capitalization debate, but how often XRP can be used as an international payment infrastructure.
According to crypto media outlet NewsBTC on May 27 (local time), crypto market expert Gina argued that XRP's value should not be judged solely by traditional market capitalization models. Gina explained that XRP was designed to function as a global financial infrastructure, not just a store of value asset.
Gina stated that if XRP's price were $100 and its circulating supply were 50 billion XRP, its market capitalization would reach approximately $5 trillion. This scale surpasses that of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). However, Gina pointed out that market capitalization alone cannot evaluate the volume of transactions the XRP Ledger can process in a day.
She presented liquidity turnover as a key variable for XRP. If one XRP is reused approximately 1,000 times a day for cross-border payments, the network could theoretically support transaction flows of up to $5,000 trillion per day. Gina emphasized that a $5 trillion market capitalization is merely a book value at a specific price, separate from the actual amount of funds that can be moved through repeated transactions.
Gina compared XRP to SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication). SWIFT is not an investment asset and thus has no market capitalization, yet trillions of dollars move through its global interbank payment network daily. She explained that XRP could also function as a bridge asset, facilitating fast payments between various currencies and tokenized financial products.
Gina stated that XRP should not be classified solely as a long-term store of value asset like gold or Bitcoin. She argued that if XRP is utilized as infrastructure for the future tokenized economy, and powers even a part of the global derivatives market or institutional payment systems, the traditional market capitalization evaluation method would lose its relevance.
