David Schwartz, former CTO of Ripple, stated that XRP could eventually overtake Bitcoin by market capitalization if the overall crypto market grows significantly. Currently, XRP trades at $1.34 with a market cap around $85 billion, while Bitcoin's market cap is about $1.55 trillion, meaning XRP would need to reach roughly $24.70 to match Bitcoin.
