In a recent analysis, cryptocurrency expert Levi Rietveld has proposed an ambitious price target for XRP, suggesting it could reach $100. This projection is based on the anticipated growth of Bitcoin, as outlined by MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor.
Bitcoin’s Potential Rise to $13 Million
Saylor, known for his bullish stance on Bitcoin, recently made headlines with his forecast of Bitcoin reaching $13 million per token within the next two decades. This prediction was shared during a CNBC Squawk Box interview, where Saylor elaborated on his vision for Bitcoin’s future in the global financial landscape.
According to Saylor’s analysis, Bitcoin is poised to capture approximately 7% of the world’s capital over the next 21 years. He attributes this potential growth to Bitcoin’s unique characteristics as a global, non-sovereign asset that operates independently of government-controlled currencies.
Saylor says while Bitcoin’s current annual growth rate of 44% may decelerate, it will eventually stabilize and give investors returns similar to the S&P 500 plus 8%.
Crypto Expert Weighs In
Rietveld’s analysis extends Saylor’s projections to the broader cryptocurrency market, with a focus on XRP. The analyst argues that if Bitcoin achieves the massive multi-trillion-dollar market cap that would come with a rise to $13 million based on Saylor’s forecast, other digital assets, including XRP, could also experience significant appreciation.
Rietveld posits that if Bitcoin were to reach Saylor’s projected $13 million valuation, XRP could potentially hit the $100 mark as it would benefit from the overall growth of the market.
To put these figures into perspective, Bitcoin’s current price of around $63,500 would need to increase by over 200 to reach $13 million. At the same time, Bitcoin’s market capitalization would be approximately $273 trillion.
Rietveld estimates that the entire crypto market could be worth over $546 trillion if Bitcoin reaches Saylor’s projected price because it controls approximately 50% of the market. Applying the same 200x surge to XRP at its current price of around $0.58 would send the digital asset to over $100.

XRP’s Role in the Financial Market
Rietveld emphasizes XRP’s unique position in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, noting its role in providing liquidity and addressing market gaps that Bitcoin does not cover. This specialized function, he argues, makes XRP a crucial asset within the broader digital currency landscape and supports the potential for significant price appreciation.
Although Saylor predicts that Bitcoin will take decades to reach $13 million, some experts believe XRP can cross $100 much faster.
