A new technical projection is circulating in the crypto market after pseudonymous analyst and XRP Ledger (XRPL) developer Bird forecast a sharp rise in the cryptocurrency’s market capitalization. The analyst predicts that the altcoin could soon reach a valuation of $300 billion, accompanied by a significant price increase from current levels.
In a post on X, Bird boldly declared that a “$300 billion XRP market cap is coming very soon.” The assertive forecast clearly shows his strong confidence in the token’s near-term growth potential, suggesting a major increase from current levels and reflecting growing optimism around the token despite recent price swings and a broader market downtrend

At the time of the analysis, its valuation stood at $88.38 billion. Technical levels on the chart highlight a prolonged downturn stretching from early 2025 into early 2026. Additionally, a descending white trendline can be seen connecting multiple lower lows, indicating sustained selling pressure over several months.

Fibonacci retracement and extension levels are plotted from a price swing high to a major now, marking key levels at 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.702, 0.786, 1, and 1.618
The 1 level aligns near the $225 billion region, while the 1.618 extension points above toward Bird’s projected $300 billion market cap. The chart illustrates a large upward green arrow extending from $88.38 billion valuation at the time of the analysis toward $300 billion, representing an increase of more than $211 billion. This suggests that Bird expects its valuation to skyrocket by more than 239%
Analysts calculate XRP’s price by dividing its market capitalization by its circulating supply. Based on its current circulating supply of approximately 60.91 billion tokens and a projected market cap of $300 billion, this would imply a price increase to approximately $5 per token. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading near $1.47, meaning a surge to this level would represent a rally of approximately 271%

Some say it’s too low, voicing out frustration and criticizing XRP’s slow price growth over the past decade
Others believe the altcoin is still undervalued at a $300 billion market cap, with some members projecting that the cryptocurrency’s valuation could eventually reach trillions of dollars.
