XRP, a crypto with 100 billion tokens supply and approximately 60 billion in circulation has exhibited a relatively stagnant price trajectory in recent times. Despite this, some financial analysts remain optimistic about its long-term potential.
A prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community, Whiplash, has recently proposed a speculative valuation for XRP, suggesting it could reach a price of $125 per token. The basis for this projection is a comparison between XRP’s circulating supply and the daily trading volume of the foreign exchange (Forex) market.
The Forex market, the largest financial market globally, reported a daily trading volume of $7.5 trillion in April 2022. Whiplash posits that if XRP were to facilitate a comparable transaction volume, the price per token would need to rise to $125 to accommodate the required liquidity. This calculation is derived by dividing the Forex market’s daily volume by XRP’s circulating supply.
It is essential to acknowledge that this valuation is purely hypothetical. Achieving such a price would necessitate an unprecedented level of adoption for XRP and the assumption that the entire circulating supply would be utilized for Forex transactions.
Moreover, the Forex market is a complex ecosystem with multiple participants, making it unlikely that a single asset would dominate its volume.
While Whiplash’s analysis has sparked interest and discussion, it is crucial to approach such projections with caution. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, influenced by various factors including regulatory developments, technological advancements, and market sentiment.

Exploring the Possibility of $100K Returns on XRP Staking
An interesting proposal emerged from Whiplash. Instead of selling XRP at its high price, he suggested that holders could earn by staking or lending their tokens to power transactions.
He envisioned a scenario where owning 1,000 XRP worth $100 each could generate $100,000 daily through staking, assuming an unrealistic 100% return. While actual returns would be significantly lower, similar to loan interest, the idea sparked optimism about XRP’s future.
However, these projections are highly speculative, assuming unprecedented XRP adoption. It’s unlikely that XRP alone could handle the $7.5 trillion foreign exchange market given the presence of other players.
Critics such as Zach Humphries view this optimistic math as wishful thinking, as they do not envision the token nearing a price of $100. Nonetheless, it underscores the growing excitement surrounding XRP’s potential.
