The XRP price could reach unprecedented heights if XRP’s market cap ever matched the valuation of Bitcoin, silver, or Apple.
XRP’s 2025 dream failed to materialize despite multiple achievements attained by the crypto asset during the year. After an impressive surge to $3.65 in July 2025, XRP entered a downward phase, with the bearish momentum picking up in Q4. Overall, XRP eventually closed 2025 at $1.84.
Analysts Remain Unfazed Despite XRP’s Bearish Spell
This poor performance also impacted the crypto asset’s market cap, pushing it below the list of top 3 crypto assets by valuation (excluding stablecoins) as 2025 came to a close. Specifically, XRP began 2025 with a market cap of $119.4 billion, and eventually soared to a peak of $216.69 billion. This represented the crypto asset’s all-time high market valuation.
However, as the downtrend began, XRP’s market cap eventually lost the $200 billion mark, and closed the year at $111.6 billion despite the token seeing an increase in its circulating supply last year. Now, XRP has added $10 billion to its market cap this year, holding on at $121.1 billion. Despite this, it remains far below the all-time peak.
Nonetheless, most market commentators have maintained their bullish stance, predicting lofty prices that could push XRP’s market cap to incredible heights, even above the $216 billion peak. Amid these projections, we recently assessed what the XRP price could rise to if XRP ever matched the market caps of some of the most valuable assets globally.
XRP Price if It Matches Bitcoin, Silver, or Apple’s Market Cap
The first asset on the list is Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has grown from a $5.72 billion valuation in January 2014 to become a $1.79 trillion asset at press time, representing an increase of nearly 30,000%.
At the current position, Bitcoin is the eighth-largest asset by market cap globally. If XRP claimed the $1.79 trillion market cap of BTC, its price would surge to $29.5 per token, nearly $30, considering the circulating supply of 60.67 billion tokens.
Meanwhile, the second asset on our list is silver (XAG), which saw an impressive run in 2025. Silver now boasts a market cap of $4.068 trillion, making it the third-largest asset globally, only behind gold (XAU) and Nvidia. If XRP matched silver’s valuation, its price would rise to $67, representing a 3,184% increase from the current price of $2.04.
For the third asset, we considered Apple (AAPL), which has been on an upward trend since August 2025, when it dropped to $202 per share. AAPL now trades at $271, with a market cap of $4.021 trillion, ranking as the fourth-largest asset by valuation. If XRP claimed Apple’s market cap, the price would rise to $66.27, only slightly below its value with silver’s market cap.
