The XRP community has been arguing about this issue again—can this coin really rise to $100?

There are quite a few supporters. Some analysts believe that the launch of ETF products, the gradual clarification of regulatory environments, and the overall market catalysts are paving the way for XRP. It sounds quite encouraging.

But if you do the math, you'll see the reality. XRP has a total supply of 10 billion coins, with about 60.6 billion currently in circulation. Assuming it needs to reach $100? That would mean the market cap would have to swell to $10 trillion. In other words, just considering the circulating supply, it would require a market size of $6 trillion—that's larger than the combined market caps of Bitcoin, Apple, and Amazon.

This isn't impossible, but... the probability is really low. Unless global banks start massively using XRP for settlements, the project team significantly burns tokens, and the entire crypto market experiences explosive growth. Meeting all these conditions together? The chances are pretty slim.

So, there's no problem with enthusiasm for XRP, but we still need to respect the basic logic of the market. Dreams are fine, but don’t fight gravity.

60 trillion? Ha, just saying that number makes it obvious how ridiculous it is. XRP fans, don’t blame me for pouring cold water; this is the reality. Dreaming again, better forget about $100. Even with ETFs coming, it doesn’t change the fact of the supply. Banks will only believe it when they actually use XRP for settlement, now it’s all just fantasies. Math doesn’t lie, but the expectations of crypto enthusiasts definitely do. Instead of waiting for $100, better think about how to survive until that day. Dreams are fine, but don’t go against the fundamentals. The supply is right here, so why must the market cap be ten trillion?

Hmm... 6 trillion in scale, haha, that's just outrageous. --- 100 dollars? Come on, wake up. --- So, people in the crypto world, all the math is taught by PE teachers. --- If the ETF goes live and can rise to 100? What about other coins? Are they all flying to the sky? --- I just want to know, if banks really start using XRP on a large scale, it’ll be a matter of when, not if. --- Instead of thinking about 100 dollars, better to take a good look at Ripple's token burn progress, haha. --- Market cap of 10 trillion... bigger than the global GDP, everyone. --- Dreams are good, but let's look at the probabilities, really. --- Will regulation clarity cause a rise? Bitcoin should already be over 100,000. --- Honestly, it's just hope greater than reality. --- Will the entire market explode with growth, token burns, and banks actually using it... all at the same time? I bet five cents that won't happen.

6 trillion market cap? Uh... let's wait until banks actually start using it before we say anything.

100 bucks? Dream on. Can't even keep the accounts straight, and you're already shouting slogans.
