XRP could be on the brink of an unprecedented price surge. Imagine if nine of the world’s largest banks decided to invest just 0.5% of their total assets in XRP. The impact would be massive, potentially triggering a supply shock that could send XRP’s price soaring.
Regulatory Winds Are Shifting
Positive regulatory developments are setting the stage. The recent leadership change at the U.S. SEC has sparked speculation about an imminent settlement in the Ripple vs. SEC case. If this happens, it would remove a major cloud hanging over XRP, paving the way for institutional adoption on a grand scale.
The Big Players and Their Massive Assets
Consider the financial powerhouses: China Construction Bank ($5.837 trillion), Bank of China ($4.859 trillion), JP Morgan ($4.210 trillion), Bank of America ($3.324 trillion), HSBC ($3.098 trillion), Wells Fargo ($1.922 trillion), Citigroup ($2.430 trillion), Banco Santander ($2.013 trillion), and Barclays ($2.049 trillion). Together, they control a staggering $29.74 trillion in assets.
If each allocates just 0.5% of their assets to XRP, we’re looking at an eye-popping $148.7 billion flowing into the market. At XRP’s current price of $2.3, this would mean substantial acquisitions:
- China Construction Bank: 12.69 billion XRP
- Bank of China: 10.56 billion XRP
- JP Morgan: 9.15 billion XRP
- Bank of America: 7.23 billion XRP
- HSBC: 6.73 billion XRP
- Wells Fargo: 4.18 billion XRP
- Citigroup: 5.28 billion XRP
- Banco Santander: 4.38 billion XRP
- Barclays: 4.45 billion XRP
In total, that’s around 64.66 billion XRP—almost 65% of the liquid supply.
The Ripple Effect on XRP’s Price
This kind of massive purchase would trigger an extreme supply shock. With XRP’s total supply capped at 100 billion, removing nearly two-thirds from circulation would create intense scarcity.
Initial estimates suggest XRP’s price could double to $4.6. But this is just the starting point. A supply squeeze, coupled with skyrocketing demand, could push prices well beyond $10. Some projections even hint at XRP hitting $20 or, in an aggressive market response, soaring to $50.
The potential is clear: if institutional giants step in, XRP’s price might not just rise—it could explode.
