David Schwartz, Ripple's former CTO, stated that XRP could eventually overtake Bitcoin in market capitalization, but only if XRP's growth outpaces Bitcoin's rather than Bitcoin's value declining. He highlighted XRP Ledger's speed and functionality as key drivers for XRP's potential expansion. Currently, Bitcoin's market cap is about 17.7 times larger than XRP's, meaning XRP would need to reach around $25 per token to match Bitcoin's valuation today. Institutional interest in XRP ETFs is rising, supported by clearer U.S. regulatory status after Ripple's SEC litigation ended, which may fuel XRP's growth. Schwartz's view is a possibility, not an immediate prediction, given the significant market cap gap.
