A recent post by crypto enthusiast Bird presents a valuation scenario that reframes how XRP’s price can be viewed relative to other major digital assets.
Instead of focusing on short-term price movements or speculative trading activity, the post centers on a direct comparison between XRP and Ethereum based strictly on market capitalization.
XRP at Ethereum’s Market Cap
The images attached to the post illustrate that if XRP were assigned the same market capitalization as Ethereum today, its price would exceed six dollars per token.
The calculation places XRP near $6.17, representing a three times increase from its trading level at the time of the post. The visuals also show that XRP’s existing market capitalization is significantly lower than Ethereum’s. It sits at roughly one-third of Ethereum’s total valuation.

This comparison is presented as a mathematical outcome rather than a speculative estimate. It assumes no change to XRP’s circulating supply and relies solely on Ethereum’s current market capitalization figures.
From this standpoint, the projected price is not based on hypothetical token burns or structural changes, but on a direct alignment of total market value between the two assets.
Community Responses Reflect Mixed Sentiment
The post generated contrasting reactions from other market participants. One commenter suggested that if XRP were to surpass Ethereum in market capitalization, it could lead market participants to reassess long-held assumptions about the digital asset hierarchy, including discussions surrounding Bitcoin’s dominance.
Another response was dismissive, arguing that XRP is unlikely to experience such appreciation and questioning the relevance of market cap comparisons altogether. These reactions highlight the divide between those who view relative valuation as a meaningful indicator and those who remain skeptical of XRP’s upside potential.
Factors Supporting a Bullish XRP Outlook
Supporters of the valuation comparison often point to several underlying developments. XRP’s design for fast and cost-efficient value transfer continues to position it as a settlement-focused digital asset rather than a general-purpose smart contract platform.
Ongoing expansion of the XRP Ledger’s functionality, particularly in areas such as tokenization and institutional-grade infrastructure, is frequently cited as a potential demand driver.

Regulatory developments also remain central to the outlook, as increased clarity could encourage broader participation from financial institutions. In addition, growing interest in blockchain-based payment and liquidity solutions may favor assets optimized for high-volume transactions.
Valuation Illustration Rather Than Certainty
While the post states that XRP will soon reach Ethereum’s market capitalization, the underlying message remains tied to valuation comparison rather than a guaranteed outcome. The six-dollar price level serves to demonstrate how market capitalization differences translate directly into price disparities.
Whether that gap narrows will depend on adoption trends, regulatory progress, and market conditions, but the comparison itself offers a clear view of where XRP currently stands relative to Ethereum.
