Insightful analysts within the XRP community are floating a bold prediction, suggesting that the value of XRP could skyrocket to an unprecedented $1 million if a single XRP token were to achieve parity with Ripple’s forthcoming stablecoin, RLUSD.
A tongue-in-cheek remark by Vet, a vocal dUNL validator on the XRP Ledger, sparked speculation among XRP enthusiasts. With Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin imminent launch, Vet’s satirical comment on social media jokingly implied that the stablecoin reaching $1 in value would be a monumental achievement.
As a dollar-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD’s value is inherently tied to the US dollar, ensuring a constant valuation of $1. Vet’s tongue-in-cheek remark was a clever satire aimed at skewering the sensationalist tendencies of some community influencers, who often hype mundane developments as groundbreaking news.
XRP Revolution: The Power of 1Million Drops
In a fascinating twist, Crypto Tank, a vocal XRP community enthusiast and self-proclaimed researcher, seized upon Vet’s commentary to fuel speculation about a potential XRP price explosion. It’s worth noting that XRP’s token architecture features smaller denominations known as “drops,” analogous to Bitcoin’s satoshis.
The XRP token is comprised of 1 million constituent units known as drops. Previously, certain aspects of the XRP Ledger assessed fees in XRP units. However, a pivotal amendment introduced last year revolutionized the fee structure, transitioning to drop-based calculations for streamlined processing.
Despite their integral role in XRPL’s fee calculations, XRP drop units seldom feature in mainstream conversations. This oversight stems primarily from XRP’s relatively low valuation, currently hovering at $0.5857, well below the $1 threshold. Notably, XRP last breached the $1 mark in November 2021.
Crypto Tank envisions a future scenario where XRP’s valuation ascends to unprecedented levels, potentially eclipsing the $1 threshold, thereby triggering a paradigm shift in market participants’ calculation preferences. As XRP’s price surges, the utility of drop units will become increasingly evident, prompting traders and investors to adopt this smaller denomination for enhanced precision.
The Pursuit of RLUSD Parity
In a bold prediction, Crypto Tank envisioned a future where one XRP drop equals 1 RLUSD, triggering an exponential surge in XRP’s value. Given the 1 million drop composition of a single XRP, this parity would translate to a remarkable $1 million price point. While Crypto Tank expressed unwavering confidence, labeling this scenario “100% possible”, its audacity sparks debate.
In a follow-up remark, the influential community figure reaffirmed his speculative stance, emphasizing that while RLUSD’s value will consistently remain at $1, XRP’s price has vast growth potential.
He proposed that as XRP’s valuation soars to unprecedented heights, market participants will inevitably shift towards transacting in drops, the smaller denominations, rather than entire XRP units.

In a precursor to Crypto Tank’s remarks, Edward Farina, XRP Healthcare’s Head of Social Adoption and Alpha Lions Academy CEO, made a prophetic statement in March.
Farina envisioned a scenario where XRP’s soaring value would render it unaffordable for traders to transact in whole units, instead compelling them to adopt drop-based transactions. While Farina’s projection didn’t include a specific $1 million price target, his insight highlighted XRP’s promising prospects.
According to Crypto Tank, the timeline for this transformation remains uncertain, although most people have no clue how fast this will happen, he maintained that its impact will be profound. Over 1,700 Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are poised to integrate XRP, incorporating it into their financial frameworks and holding substantial XRP reserves.
The resultant price appreciation will be calculated by dividing the daily transaction volume and value settled on the ledger by the reduced circulating supply, creating a perfect storm for XRP’s value ascension.
