XRP needs to hit $7 to reach Ethereum's market cap

XRP needs to hit $7 to reach Ethereum's market cap

Market analysts suggest XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) could overtake Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) in market capitalisation, citing recent performance trends and potential catalysts such as the resolution of Ripple’s legal battle and advancements in tokenisation.

Dom Kwok, a former Goldman Sachs analyst, believes XRP has the potential to flip Ethereum.

"If XRP maintains its momentum, we might see a new world order," Kwok stated.

XRP recently recorded a 24.8% gain in the past seven days and a 476% surge over 90 days, outperforming Ethereum’s 26.87% growth during the same period.

XRP’s market capitalisation stands at $180.08 billion compared to Ethereum’s $407.12 billion.

For XRP to reach Ethereum, its price would need to reach approximately $7, assuming Ethereum’s valuation remains steady.

Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit with the SEC is seen as a critical factor in XRP’s future trajectory.

The SEC argues that Ripple's sales of XRP to retail investors constitute securities offerings.

However, analysts are optimistic that the incoming Trump administration may dismiss non-fraud cases initiated by SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

Ripple Labs is also advancing its tokenisation efforts, collaborating with Archax and introducing RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum network.

These initiatives are expected to drive liquidity into the XRP ecosystem.

Austin King, an early Ripple staff member, supports Kwok’s view, suggesting that XRP could eventually reach a trillion-dollar market cap due to its role in real-world asset tokenisation.  

At the time of reporting, the XRP (XRP) price was $3.11 and the Ethereum (ETH) price was $3,296.08.
