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.
