TheCryptoBasic just released a viral thread about what could potentially be the XRP price if Amazon starts using it for payments.
Let’s break it down.
What If Amazon Starts Using XRP?
Even though XRP has been in a bullish trend lately, many in the community still believe it’s massively undervalued. The main reason? Its real-world potential – especially for payments – hasn’t been fully tapped.
One company that always comes up in this conversation is Amazon. XRP fans have speculated for years about a possible connection between Ripple and Amazon, and while nothing official has happened yet, the idea keeps coming back.
Why? Because back in 2020, RippleNet was listed as a partner on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It didn’t lead to XRP powering Amazon payments, but it planted a seed in the minds of many XRP holders.
Now, TheCryptoBasic has gone a step further and built three models showing how high XRP’s price could go if Amazon actually used it at scale.

Model 1: XRP Becomes Amazon’s Default Currency
This first model imagines XRP being used across Amazon – for everything from buying products and gift cards to paying for Prime subscriptions.
Amazon’s estimated total volume? About $700 billion per year. If XRP is used for 30% of that, it would be handling $210 billion annually. Assuming a velocity of 2.5 (how often XRP changes hands), the required backing would be around $84 billion.
If we apply a modest multiplier for adoption and network value, we’re looking at a big jump in XRP’s market cap – but this model doesn’t include a final price. It sets the stage.
Model 2: XRP as a Global Payment Rail for Amazon
This version sees XRP powering payments not just on Amazon itself, but also across third-party merchants and Amazon Pay.
Here’s the breakdown:
$150 billion in Amazon internal payments
$500 billion from outside merchant payments
Total XRP volume: $650 billion
With a velocity of 2, XRP would need a base of $325 billion to support this. But if you apply a 5x speculative multiplier, the total market cap jumps to $1.625 trillion.
With 60 billion XRP tokens in circulation, the price per XRP would hit around $27.
Model 3: XRP Powers Global Infrastructure
In the third (and most ambitious) model, XRP becomes a backbone for things like:
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) bridges
AWS micropayments
Smart device transactions
Prime membership staking
This scenario handles $1 trillion in global activity, with 30% needing XRP – about $300 billion. Applying an 8x multiplier for global adoption and growth brings the market cap to $2.4 trillion.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting…
TheCryptoBasic then adds the values from models one and two (around $660 billion) to this $2.4 trillion estimate, bringing the total potential XRP market cap to $3.06 trillion.
Divide that by 60 billion XRP, and you get a speculative XRP price of around $51.

So… Could XRP Really Hit $51?
Let’s be real – this is highly speculative. The numbers are based on multiple layers of assumptions, from adoption velocity to market cap multipliers.
Still, what makes this scenario fun (and useful) is that it frames the conversation around utility. It shows that if XRP truly does become a go-to payment solution – not just for Amazon, but globally – then a double-digit price isn’t crazy to imagine.
For now, though, XRP is still trading in the low single digits. And as always in crypto, big dreams come with big risks.
But one thing’s clear: if Amazon ever does integrate XRP – even partially – it will be hard for the market to ignore it.
