🔥 XRP’s $21 Trillion Dream? Here’s the Math Behind the Hype!
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently dropped a bomb at the XRPL Apex event — saying XRP could handle 14% of SWIFT’s global payment volume within 5 years. That’s no small claim.
💸 SWIFT processes ~$150T annually
➡️ 14% = $21T per year
💥 That’s about $58B a day in potential volume for XRP!
Garlinghouse stressed that real-time liquidity > outdated messaging systems, making XRPL a perfect fit for global money movement.
🧠 According to xAI’s Grok:
• Year 1 estimate: $4.2T volume
• Scales up over 5 years
• XRP might need $700B liquidity to support that
📊 Possible XRP price targets?
• $12 based on utility and liquidity cycles
• $18–$24 with institutional adoption + real-world use cases
But the big question remains:
If XRP gets 14%... who takes the other 86%? 🤔
🔗 Chainlink?
🌐 Interoperable blockchains?
🚨 Not financial advice — just real numbers + big potential.
What’s your take? Could XRP rule global payments?
