#XRP
What will it be? Mass adoption, market volume, or price appreciation?
1. Mass adoption (Use as a financial solution)
#XRPhas a clear focus on international payments and partnerships with financial institutions, such as banks and remittance companies (e.g. RippleNet). Bitcoin, on the other hand, is more used as a store of value or decentralized currency.#XRPmay surpass#BTCin this aspect in the short to medium term, since its utility in fast and cheap transfers is more geared towards real corporate and banking use cases.
2. Market volume
Today,#BTCdominates the crypto market, with a much larger market capitalization. For#XRPto ābeatā#BTCin market cap, it would need a gigantic level of adoption or price increase, something that could take many years, depending on:
ā¢ Regulatory outcomes (such as the case with the SEC in the US); ā¢ Rippleās expansion into new geographies;
ā¢ Increased use of#XRPon networks such as RippleNet.
3. Price
#XRPwas not created to compete with#BTCin terms of unit price. The total supply of#XRP(100 billion tokens) is much larger than that of BTC (21 million), which dilutes the value per unit. Overtaking BTC in price is extremely unlikely.
Possible Scenario
Based on what is known:
ā¢ In the short term (1-3 years):#XRPcould gain traction with positive regulatory outcomes and corporate adoption, but it is unlikely to surpass#BTCin market cap.
In the long term (5+ years): If#XRPbecomes a global standard for cross-border payments, it could approach the dominance of
#BTC. Do you believe#XRPcan continue to grow at this pace? We want to analyze any specific aspects, such as the impact of regulationā¦ what do you think?
