The price of XRP could reach greater heights if the asset’s market capitalization matches the U.S. M1 money supply.

Despite recent range-bound price action, optimism surrounding XRP remains strong among crypto analysts. Many experts see a future where XRP achieves extraordinary price milestones.
Some projections even suggest the altcoin could soar to $50 or as high as $100, especially if its reputation as a global payment solution becomes widely recognized.
Amid these wild projections, @Lachakari_Crypto recently assessed how high XRP’s value could climb if its market cap equaled the United States’ M1 money supply.
XRP Price if It Attained M1 Money Supply
For context, the U.S. M1 money supply, as reported by CEIC Data, stood at an impressive $18,455.9 billion (or $18.4559 trillion) in January 2025. This marked a slight increase from $18,433.9 billion in December 2024, indicating continued growth in the most liquid forms of money within the American economy.
Notably, the M1 money supply includes physical cash, demand deposits like checking accounts, and other assets that are easily convertible to cash for spending.
Meanwhile, XRP currently trades around $2.23, having gained about 7% over the past week. According to CoinMarketCap data, XRP holds a circulating supply of 58.39 billion tokens, with a total supply over 99 billion tokens. Its current market cap sits at around $130.4 billion.
If XRP’s market cap matched the U.S. M1 money supply, the asset’s total valuation would surge to $18.4559 trillion. Notably, if this $18.4559 trillion market cap translates to XRP’s fully diluted market cap, then the price per XRP would reach $186, considering the total supply of 99.98 billion tokens.
However, if this $18.4559 trillion valuation translates to XRP’s actual market cap, its price per token would sit at $316, considering the circulating supply of 58.39 billion tokens. This scenario shows what the XRP market could look like if it captured the liquidity represented by M1.
Could XRP Hit $186 and $316?
Interestingly, analysts from the crypto exchange Changelly are notably bullish on XRP’s long-term prospects. They forecast that XRP could reach a maximum price of $315 by February 2040, aligning with the $316 theoretical price target derived from the M1 supply comparison.
Further, these analysts expect XRP to hit this $186 milestone as soon as January 2040, just a month earlier than their higher-end forecast.
While Changelly’s projections indicate bullishness, not all analysts share the same level of enthusiasm. Experts from Telegaon present a more conservative outlook. They do not foresee XRP reaching $186 or $315 by 2040.
Instead, they predict that XRP’s maximum price in that year would peak at $160. Telegaon analysts expect XRP couldeventually touch $186, but only between 2040 and 2050. However, they maintain skepticism that XRP would ever attain the $315 valuation, even beyond 2050.
