- XRP’s price could theoretically surge to $440.46 if Ripple’s valuation post-IPO matches Google’s $2.021 trillion market cap, with even higher projections of $687.47 and $735.58 if Ripple aligns with Apple and Microsoft, respectively.
- Grok’s analysis hinges on the assumption that XRP’s market cap grows proportionately with Ripple’s valuation, a speculative scenario given the current regulatory and market conditions.
- Realistically, Grok suggests a more conservative target range for XRP between $3 and $20 through 2025 to 2030, given existing market dynamics and regulatory uncertainties.
XRP’s price could skyrocket if Ripple manages to catch up with the tech giants like Google, Apple, or Microsoft after a potential IPO – at least, that’s what some speculators are mulling over.
Ripple’s Current Standing
Talks of a Ripple IPO are gaining steam, even though CEO Brad Garlinghouse has downplayed the idea of going public anytime soon. Right now, Ripple is estimated to have a pre-IPO valuation of $10.88 billion, according to notice.co – but that figure’s still speculative and unconfirmed.
For perspective, Ripple’s valuation is a far cry from the mega-cap tech firms. Microsoft holds a market cap of $3.376 trillion, Apple comes in at $3.155 trillion, and Google sits at $2.021 trillion. Ripple’s got a long climb ahead.
Despite XRP operating independently from Ripple, market sentiment around Ripple often bleeds into XRP’s price action. So, if Ripple did go public and somehow rose to the same level as these tech giants, what might that mean for XRP?
Could XRP Reach $735?
To get some speculative numbers, Grok, the AI from xAI, ran some projections. Currently, XRP trades at $2.37, with a market cap of $138.93 billion and 58.62 billion tokens in circulation. Grok noted that XRP’s market cap is about 12.77 times larger than Ripple’s estimated valuation today.
Using that ratio, Grok crunched some hypothetical scenarios:
- If Ripple hit Google’s $2.021 trillion cap, XRP could reach $440.46.
- If Ripple matched Apple’s $3.155 trillion, XRP might jump to $687.47.
- In the most ambitious case, if Ripple rose to Microsoft’s $3.376 trillion, Grok speculates XRP could hit $735.58.
But Wait – There Are Some Big Ifs
Before getting too carried away, Grok flagged some important caveats. These projections rely on some pretty big assumptions:
- It assumes XRP’s market cap will always grow proportionately to Ripple’s valuation, which isn’t guaranteed.
- It doesn’t account for any increase in the XRP supply, despite the monthly token releases from Ripple’s escrow.
- It assumes that widespread XRP adoption, regulatory clarity, and institutional investment will all fall into place – none of which are certainties.
For context, XRP’s all-time high was just $3.84 in 2018. So, a jump to $735 would require a dramatic shift in market dynamics and utility. According to Grok, the more realistic range for XRP through 2025 to 2030 is likely somewhere between $3 and $20 – not quite as flashy, but a lot more plausible given current conditions.
