Dr. Whale’s recent post on X laid out a bold set of price targets for major cryptocurrencies, headlined by Bitcoin surging to $200,000. Among the projections, he placed XRP at $10, suggesting a dramatic upswing for the token if Bitcoin achieves this milestone.
Using current market data and clear market-cap calculations, we can estimate what XRP’s price could reasonably be if Bitcoin reaches that level.
Current Market Landscape
As of report time, Bitcoin trades around $115,900 with a circulating supply of roughly 19.92 million BTC, giving it a market capitalization of nearly $2.31 trillion. XRP trades at to $3.14 with a circulating supply of about 59.61 billion tokens, translating to a market cap of approximately $189 billion.
These figures provide the foundation for projecting XRP’s potential price under a $200,000 Bitcoin scenario.

Scaling XRP with Bitcoin’s Rise
If Bitcoin climbs to $200,000, its market capitalization would expand to roughly $3.98 trillion. That represents a growth multiplier of about 1.72 compared with its current market cap.
Applying the same multiplier to XRP, assuming it maintains its present share of the total crypto market—yields a projected market cap near $326 billion. Dividing that by XRP’s circulating supply results in an estimated price of around $5.46 per XRP.
This calculation keeps assumptions minimal: Bitcoin’s price is the only variable, and XRP’s market share remains constant. It is a straightforward way to link Bitcoin’s rise to an XRP price projection.

Path to the $10 Target
Dr. Whale’s $10 forecast implies a far larger move. At $10, XRP’s market capitalization would need to reach about $596 billion. With Bitcoin at $200,000 and valued near $3.98 trillion, XRP would have to command roughly 15% of Bitcoin’s market cap—almost double its current relative share.
Such a jump is not impossible. Periods of “alt season” have historically seen significant capital rotation from Bitcoin into top altcoins. However, achieving that level would require a surge of investor demand, liquidity, and market confidence beyond today’s baseline.
Factors That Could Influence XRP’s Market Share
Several elements could shift XRP’s relative market standing. Broader adoption of Ripple’s cross-border payment technology, favorable regulatory clarity, or a pronounced investor rotation into high-cap utility tokens could all help XRP gain ground on Bitcoin’s dominance.
Conversely, stiff competition from other layer-1 platforms or delays in mainstream adoption could cap its growth.
Key Takeaway
Using current data and a conservative scaling model, Bitcoin at $200,000 points to an XRP price near $5.46 if the token simply keeps its existing share of the crypto market. Dr. Whale’s more ambitious $10 target remains within the realm of possibility, but it would require XRP to approximately double its market share relative to Bitcoin.
