If XRP's market cap catches up with Bitcoin, silver, or Apple, how high will XRP's price go?

XRP-0,48%
BTC-0,61%

Although XRP experienced a significant correction in 2025, discussions around its long-term market capitalization potential continue to intensify. The core question in market focus is: if XRP’s market cap reaches the levels of Bitcoin, silver, or even Apple in the future, what could be the theoretical price of a single XRP?

Looking back at the market, XRP once surged to $3.65 in July 2025 but then entered a sustained correction, accelerating downward in the fourth quarter, ending the year at approximately $1.84. This decline also directly impacted its market cap performance. Data shows that XRP’s market cap reached a historical peak of about $216.69 billion in 2025, but as the price weakened, it fell back to around $111.6 billion by the end of the year. Currently, XRP’s market cap has recovered to about $121.1 billion but remains significantly below its all-time high.

Nevertheless, some analysts remain optimistic about XRP’s long-term prospects, believing its market cap could reattain $200 billion in the next cycle or even challenge higher levels. Against this backdrop, the market has begun comparing XRP to top global assets, estimating its potential price range.

First is Bitcoin. As one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, Bitcoin’s current market cap is approximately $1.79 trillion. If XRP’s market cap reaches this level, with a circulating supply of about 606.7 billion, the price of a single XRP would be approximately $29.5, close to the $30 range.

Second is silver. Silver saw a significant rise in 2025, with a current market cap of about $40.68 trillion, making it one of the top assets globally by market value. If XRP’s market cap increases to the scale of silver, its theoretical price would reach about $67, representing an increase of over 30 times from the current price.

The third comparable is Apple. Apple’s current market cap is approximately $4.021 trillion, close to the size of silver. If XRP’s market cap reaches this level, the corresponding price would be about $66.27, which is consistent with the estimate in the silver scenario.

These calculations are not price predictions but scenario analyses based on market cap comparisons. However, they clearly demonstrate a fact: XRP’s long-term price potential heavily depends on its ability to expand its market cap. Under the combined influence of macroeconomic conditions, regulatory trends, and the crypto market cycle, whether XRP can approach the scale of mainstream global assets remains a key variable for market attention in the coming years.
