WallStreetBets founder Jaime Rogozinski has speculated on XRP's potential price if the global cryptocurrency market capitalization reaches $5 trillion. This projection follows a recent surge in XRP's price, which saw it increase over 400% in a month, reaching a seven-year high of $2.86 in early December.
While XRP has since retreated from this peak, Rogozinski believes it could still surge significantly if the overall crypto market reaches the $5 trillion mark in 2025.
XRP Price Prediction Based on Market Cap Growth
Currently, the global crypto market cap is approximately $3.33 trillion, with XRP holding a 3.6% share at a market cap of $119.05 billion. Rogozinski projects that the market cap needs to increase by roughly 50% to reach $5 trillion.
Based on this growth, he predicts XRP could reach $8, a 263% increase from its current price of approximately $2.2. This would translate to substantial returns for investors. For example, a $27,500 investment in 12,500 XRP at the current price could potentially grow to $100,000 if the $8 target is met.
Other Analyst Predictions and Market Factors
Several other market experts have also suggested XRP could reach $8 under similar market conditions. This sentiment gained traction earlier this year after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicted the crypto market could reach $5 trillion by the end of the year.
Crypto analyst EGRAG has also offered price targets for XRP, suggesting it could reach $8.77 if Garlinghouse's prediction comes to fruition. EGRAG has also indicated a potential target of $8.1, contingent on continued bullish momentum and Bitcoin reaching around $130,000.
Optimism Surrounding Potential Regulatory Changes
Investors are also optimistic about the potential impact of a Trump administration on the crypto industry. Speculation exists that the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit could be resolved, and the approval of XRP ETFs is also a possibility, which could further drive the price upward.
