1. The situation of XRP being overvalued
Currently, the price of XRP is mainly affected by market speculation and Ripple's legal battles, lacking support from actual applications:
Market demand: Although Ripple's cross-border payment service has made progress, its actual market share is less than 0.01%, affecting XRP's actual demand. Supply pressure: Ripple releases a large amount of XRP every quarter, increasing market supply and suppressing long-term prices. Ecological development is limited: Compared to Ethereum's DeFi and NFT ecosystems, the XRP ecosystem is still concentrated in payment scenarios, with limited market recognition.
Conclusion: In the short term, the XRP price is mainly driven by market sentiment and is considered to be at risk of overvaluation. If Ripple fails to significantly expand application scenarios, XRP may face a pullback.
2. RLUSD stablecoin forecast for the next year
Ripple's launched RLUSD stablecoin mainly aims to expand payment and liquidity demand through the XRP chain. The development of RLUSD in the next year depends on:
Optimistic scenario
Ripple successfully uses RLUSD for cross-border payments and DeFi applications, attracting more institutional participation. RLUSD is deployed on multiple chains (such as BNB Chain, Polygon), increasing liquidity and adoption rates.
Forecast market cap: RLUSD's market cap has the opportunity to reach $10-50 million.
Conservative scenario
The market adoption speed of RLUSD is slow, mainly limited within the XRP ecosystem, making it unable to compete with stablecoins like USDT and USDC.
Forecast market cap: RLUSD's market cap may remain below $5 million, with liquidity still restricted.
Conclusion: RLUSD needs time and scenario development, currently has a small scale, and cannot provide significant support for XRP in the short term.
3. The proportion of cross-border payments and Ripple's current situation
Ripple is entering the cross-border payment market through RippleNet and ODL solutions, but currently, progress is limited:
Global cross-border payment market: The scale reaches $150 trillion, and it is expected to continue to grow. Ripple's current share: less than 0.01%, and its market share remains extremely small. Main regions: Ripple has made certain progress in Southeast Asia and Latin America, but is limited by the monopoly of traditional payment giants (such as SWIFT) and regulatory challenges, making it difficult to quickly expand into the global market.
Conclusion: Although Ripple's cross-border payment business has potential, it is difficult to provide direct support for XRP's price in the short term.
Comprehensive conclusion: Forecast for the next year
XRP price forecast
Short-term pullback risk is high: Due to XRP's valuation being inflated by market sentiment and legal battles, lacking actual demand support, the price may face a 20-30% pullback risk. Mid to long-term growth relies on ecological landing: If Ripple expands the application of RLUSD and increases the proportion of cross-border payments, the XRP price may stabilize in the range of $0.50-$0.70.
RLUSD stablecoin
Forecast for the next year's market cap between $5 million and $500 million, depending on Ripple's promotion speed and the effectiveness of cross-chain deployment.
Cross-border payment business
Ripple currently has a very small market share (less than 0.01%) and will still need time to expand its market share in the next year. If it cannot further increase adoption, Ripple's influence in the cross-border payment market will remain limited.
Overall conclusion:
Although Ripple's current business and the development of RLUSD have potential, it is difficult to support the high valuation of XRP in the short term. The future price of XRP may pull back, and the market cap growth of the stablecoin RLUSD will depend on the rapid development of RippleNet and the DeFi ecosystem.
