#XRP BOOM 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥

Ripple’s XRP Holdings and Potential Impact.

The U.S. attorney then highlighted that Ripple currently holds about 40 billion XRP in escrow. Specifically, this figure has dropped to 37 billion XRP following recent escrow releases, including the one for January 2025.

Deaton pointed out that these XRP tokens are not on Ripple’s balance sheet, differentiating it from companies like MicroStrategy that directly account for their crypto assets. At an XRP price of $8.72, the attorney suggests the value of Ripple’s holdings would grow to $348.8 billion.

Applying the valuation multiple used by MicroStrategy (3x its net asset value), Ripple could theoretically be worth over $1 trillion. Notably, this projection includes its XRP holdings and overall business value.

Deaton also called attention to Ripple’s recent buyback of $285 million in Series C shares at a valuation of $11-12 billion. He believes this buyback provided a 50% return on investment for Series C investors. According to Deaton, if XRP does reach $8, this move would demonstrate Ripple’s foresight.

However, the attorney confirmed that these are mere speculations based on available data, and there is no guarantee that XRP would even reach $8 or that Ripple’s valuation could hit $1 trillion. He also speculates that Ripple may consider an IPO by late 2025 or early 2026.
