Top analyst and Coin Compass host Quinten has reignited the XRP vs. Chainlink debate claiming that $LINK , not $XRP , is the real banking coin.
đč XRP: The Traditional Bankerâs Coin
XRP has long been known for powering cross-border payments via Rippleâs network, enabling global banks to settle transactions faster and cheaper.
The XRP community believes it could one day rival or even replace SWIFTâs trillion-dollar settlement system.
đč LINK: Quietly Building Banking Rails
Quinten, however, argues that Chainlinkâs partnerships give it the real edge in banking adoption.
Chainlink has already teamed up with SWIFT, Mastercard, DTCC, and even central banks.
Advocates like Zach Rynes say this positions LINK as the true middleware between traditional finance and blockchain.
đč Market Cap Reality Check
Currently, XRP is nearly 10x larger than Chainlink:
XRP: $3 | Market Cap $178.6B
LINK: $24 | Market Cap $16.2B
But Quinten sees this as LINKâs growth runway. He projects a 10x rally to $250, while other analysts like Rekt Fencer predict $250â$400 by Q4 2025.
For comparison, XRP is forecasted to reach $8.50â$9 in the same timeframe.
đč Community Split
The debate is far from over. XRP holders insist their coin will dominate global finance, while LINK supporters argue itâs already embedded in banking rails.
đ Whether youâre Team $XRP or Team $LINK, one thing is clear: both are shaping the future of banking
