$XRP at $1,000,000 actually makes more sense
than most people realise.
Banks and financial institutions would need
a lot less XRP
to settle massive financial transactions.
If $XRP stays at $1,
banks and financial institutions would need
huge amounts of XRP
for global transactions.
At that scale,
cheap $XRP becomes the problem.
There simply wouldn’t be enough efficient liquidity
for what Ripple and $XRP are trying to achieve globally.
That is why cheap $XRP
doesn’t make sense long term.
For $XRP to succeed
at the scale it was designed for,
$XRP has to be expensive.
How much XRP must institutions continuously own to make the system function?
XRP Valuation Trigger Warning!
Under the assumptions I specify below - a broad adoption by major financial market infrastructures and institutions - the economic case for XRP would likely be much stronger - a valuation in the hundreds of dollars per XRP is easier to construct under these assumptions than the price we see today, and four-figure valuations will require assumptions that XRP becomes not only a settlement asset but also a widely held global liquidity and collateral reserve asset.
If we assume (for the sake of this scenario analysis) that:
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation materially adopts XRPL-based infrastructure,
Bank for International Settlements frameworks support interoperability with public DLT,
International Monetary Fund integrates compatible tokenized monetary architecture,
SWIFT interoperates with XRPL,
SBI Holdings continues expanding XRP-related infrastructure,
Federal Reserve interoperates through standardized messaging,
Bank of America,
Banco Santander,
and Franklin Templeton all become meaningful institutional participants …. and we stop here,
… then the discussion moves beyond whether XRP technology works and toward how much liquidity the system requires.
The Four Layers of XRP Value
In this scenario, XRP would not simply be:
a cryptocurrency.
It could simultaneously function as:
a settlement asset
a bridge liquidity asset
collateral
treasury reserve
market-making inventory
cross-border liquidity buffer
programmable institutional working capital
Those are multiple sources of demand layered onto one asset.
A Useful Analogy
Think of today’s financial system.
Approximately:
$ 130T+ global equities
$ 140T+ global bonds
hundreds of trillions in real estate
foreign exchange markets exceeding $7 trillion in daily turnover
derivatives with enormous notional values (not all requiring funding)
None of these require dollar-for-dollar collateralization.
They require efficient liquidity.
If XRP became a principal liquidity asset, institutions would need enough inventory to support:
payment flows
collateral pools
lending
derivatives margin
market making
treasury management
That is a very different economic model than retail trading.

"I think it will be great for the industry. I don't think this is being priced in right now and I think it could lead to a pretty strong rally"
