Crypto analyst Zach Rector thinks that the long-term price potential of XRP is much larger than most people believe. In a recent interview with Paul Barron, he explained why XRP could eventually climb to $ 100 per coin if the right conditions fall into place.
What should happen first?
Rector says that three things are the most important for every crypto to see great growth:
- An ETF approval so that settings can easily invest.
- Companies that add the assets to their balance sheets.
- Wide -increasing institutional adoption.
Bitcoin and Ethereum check all these boxes, but rector says that XRP is the next one in line.
Why ETFs could change the game
For years, XRP is stopped without ETF. Rector calls this a kind of ‘oppression’. As soon as ETFs have been approved, he says that XRP could see a “super cycle” while new money comes in from institutions and business treasury boxes.
The multiplication effect
The most surprising part of his analysis comes from market data he followed last year. According to Rector, small enclosure of only tens of millions of dollars were sufficient to push the market capitalization of XRP with tens of billions.
“The market capitalization of XRP is growing much faster than the actual money that comes in,” he explained. “That’s why people underestimate what is possible.”
How much money would $ 100 XRP take?
If XRP ever touched $ 100, with around 60 billion tokens in circulation, market capitalization would be almost $ 6 trillion. That sounds impossible for many. But Rector claims that it would not take $ 6 trillion in real money.
He estimates that $ 100 – $ 300 billion in net flow can be enough to get XRP there over time.
Not at night, but possible
Rector does not expect $ 100 XRP to take place quickly. He says it will not be ETFs in the first month or even the first year. But with steady intake, legal clarity and institutional adoption it is not excluded.
For now he sees $ 20 – $ 30 XRP by 2026 as a realistic basic case. Furthermore, if ETF’s billions are more active, higher price goals can come into play.
