Versan the surgeon claims that XRP's price of 1,000 USD represents the minimum value, not the maximum.
A fixed supply and consumption mechanism could lead to price increases as demand rises.
The current price level of 3 USD is considered insufficient for a trillion-dollar token economy.
Versan the surgeon, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, has reinforced his optimistic predictions about XRP, stating that its price will represent a minimum rather than a maximum once the token becomes the main asset of the global financial infrastructure.

His prediction indicates that the price of XRP must rise significantly from its current levels, which are around 3 US dollars, to fulfill its intended utility role.
The surgeon's latest forecast is based on his previous assertion that XRP's current valuation cannot support operations in a trillion-dollar token-based economy.
He sees that at current price levels, the liquidity pool remains insufficient to facilitate massive institutional flows and cross-border settlements required by the evolving financial system.
Supply dynamics support the theory of XRP price increase
The analyst strengthens his position by referencing XRP's fixed maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, as well as the transaction consumption mechanism on the network that gradually reduces the circulating supply. This combination leads to a deflationary pressure as demand increases, while the available tokens decrease due to network usage.
The surgeon indicates that fundamental supply and demand economics will drive XRP valuations upward over time as adoption increases.
The defined supply structure prevents currency devaluation, while rising institutional demand exerts upward pressure on prices according to his analysis.
Interestingly, the surgeon has previously argued that the maximum supply of XRP is insufficient to meet global economic needs, prompting him to describe token burning as 'unnecessary' given the anticipated future demand will exceed the available supply.
Industry supporters endorse institutional efficiency arguments
Jake Klaffer, a cryptocurrency founder, shares similar views, claiming that XRP is 'programmed' to reach 10,000 USD for optimal institutional efficiency. His reasoning revolves around the mathematical relationship between token price and transaction capacity.
Klaffer references David Schwartz's explanation, Ripple's CTO, that transferring 1 billion USD requires 1 billion XRP at 1 dollar each, whereas only one token would be needed if XRP reached 1 billion USD. This argument suggests that higher prices enable larger value transfers using fewer tokens.
According to Klaffer's calculations, XRP needs valuations of 10,000 USD to effectively facilitate transactions worth a trillion USD. At this price level, theoretical liquidity would exceed 585 trillion USD, providing sufficient capacity for major institutional flows within the expected 24-month timeframe.
Critics highlight the potential market cap implications of such extreme price targets, which could lead to valuations exceeding global wealth metrics. The mathematical reality that XRP prices at 1,000 or 10,000 USD create market caps that surpass current financial markets.
