๐ฅ What's Happening:
American entrepreneur and financial commentator Patrick Bet-David has reignited excitement around XRP, discussing how high its price could soar if it complements or even replaces SWIFT โ the global financial messaging giant.
๐งฉ Key Points:
โก๏ธ On his Valuetainment show, Bet-David explained that XRP could take over part or all of SWIFTโs role, thanks to its faster and cheaper transaction system.
โก๏ธ SWIFT handles $5 trillion daily โ or about $1.25 quadrillion yearly โ while XRP settles transactions in 3โ5 seconds at just a fraction of a cent.
โก๏ธ If XRP captures even 10% of SWIFTโs traffic, Bet-David estimates its market cap could hit $10 trillion.
๐ฅ Price Predictions:
โก๏ธ In such a scenario, Bet-David suggested XRP could climb to $100 per token.
โก๏ธ Some analysts even foresee a wild-case scenario where XRP hits $1,000 if it fully displaces SWIFT.
Note: Bet-David admitted many making these bold predictions likely hold XRP, but emphasized the real potential if adoption takes off.
โ๏ธ SEC Lawsuit Still a Barrier:
The ongoing SEC lawsuit against Ripple remains a major hurdle, delaying wider institutional adoption.
However, a favorable resolution could unlock regulatory clarity in the U.S. โ key for XRPโs mass usage.
๐ Rippleโs Big Vision:
Ripple executives have been pushing XRP as a SWIFT alternative for years:
โ๏ธ CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlights XRPโs 0.1% error rate vs SWIFTโs 6%.
โ๏ธ Ripple SVP Eric van Miltenburg recently called Ripple a "modern upgrade" to SWIFT at Davos 2025.
โ๏ธ Even back in 2018, Garlinghouse predicted Ripple would eventually overtake SWIFT.
โก Bottom Line:
If XRP successfully grabs even a piece of SWIFTโs massive volume, it could transform global finance โ and drive XRPโs price to unthinkable highs.
