WisdomTree Report Reveals How Much XRP Must Climb to Surpass Bitcoin

A recent report from WisdomTree compared the technical capabilities of XRP and Bitcoin, offering a perspective on how XRP could potentially challenge Bitcoin’s dominance. The document emphasized XRP’s significant edge in transaction speed. It compares XRP’s throughput of 1,500 transactions per second to Bitcoin’s 7 transactions per second.

XRP is significantly more efficient than Bitcoin, and the document says it consistently outperformed Bitcoin in transaction volume per second over several years. It also made it clear that XRP’s efficiency positions it as a strong candidate for real-time payments, while Bitcoin’s slower pace reflects a focus on decentralization and security.

The 20x Price Challenge

Toward the end of the document, WisdomTree laid out a stark comparison: “To match bitcoin’s market capitalisation, XRP’s price would need to increase more than 20x from its current levels.” At the time the report was prepared, Bitcoin’s market cap was $1.9 trillion.

SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG), a well-known crypto researcher, brought renewed attention to this analysis in a recent post, pointing to WisdomTree’s statement as documentation of XRP’s potential.

Is a 20x Surge Enough to Flip Bitcoin

With XRP currently priced at $3.59 and its market cap sitting at $212.27 billion, a 20x increase would put its price at $71.80. Multiplying that by the current circulating supply (approximately 59.13 billion XRP), the projected market cap would reach roughly $4.24 trillion.

By comparison, Bitcoin is now trading at $120,423, with a total market cap of $2.39 trillion. This means that if XRP were to 20x from current levels, its market cap would not only surpass Bitcoin’s, but it would do so by a significant margin of nearly $1.85 trillion.

Experts have predicted for years that XRP could surpass Bitcoin, and this calculation reveals that, at least in theory, the 20x growth model referenced by WisdomTree now exceeds what is required to overtake Bitcoin.

Outlook for XRP’s Trajectory

The WisdomTree report made clear that for XRP to reach this level realistically, four major developments are essential. These include mass adoption, regulatory clarity, ecosystem expansion, and favorable market sentiment. These conditions remain as critical now as they were when the report was first issued.

While the goal is daunting, especially considering Bitcoin’s deep-rooted dominance, current price levels suggest that a 20x rise in XRP would be more than sufficient to claim the top spot. XRP is already on its way to a new all-time high, and many market participants are confident that it will surpass Bitcoin in this cycle.
