#AbuDhabiStablecoin $XRP at $500: What Would It Take?
Current price (as of 2024): ~$0.50–$0.70
Market cap at $500/XRP: Over $25 trillion (assuming circulating supply of ~50 billion XRP)
For comparison, Bitcoin’s peak market cap was around $1.3 trillion, and Apple Inc.’s is ~$3 trillion.
Bottom line: For XRP to reach $500, it would need to become the dominant global liquidity bridge for cross-border transactions, replacing major currencies and SWIFT systems—an extremely ambitious scenario.
