Harvard computer science engineer, Austin King, co-founder of the Omni Fund, has predicted that XRP could soon surpass Ethereum in market capitalization. He points out that Ethereum is struggling with technology and lacks clear development, while XRP has a more efficient infrastructure, placing it in a favorable position to dominate the market.

Currently, XRP has a market capitalization of approximately 140 billion USD, while Ethereum leads with 322 billion USD. The price of XRP is at 2.78 USD, and if it increases by 145%, it will reach around 6.8 USD, enough to surpass Ethereum at its current market cap.

Other analysts also have positive predictions for the future of XRP. Arthur Azizov, CEO of B2BinPay, believes that XRP could reach between 5 to 7 USD in the first half of 2025, based on growth momentum after the elections and Ripple's advancements in cross-border payments. Hani Abuagla from XTB predicts that XRP's price could range from 5 to 100 USD, depending on regulatory changes under the new administration of President Donald Trump. Ryan Lee from Bitget Research provides an average forecast of 1.8 to 8.4 USD for 2025, with the potential to peak above 10 USD, depending on the level of adoption and addressing legal barriers.

However, it should be noted that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and these predictions are for reference only. Investments should be made cautiously and based on thorough research.
