Right, so apparently, some Ripple enthusiasts are absolutely convinced that XRP is going to hit \$10,000. Darling, that’s like saying I’ll suddenly develop the willpower to resist a family-size bar of Cadbury’s. Possible? Theoretically. Likely? Oh, please. 🙄 They’re all going on about infrastructure and market presence, as if that’s all it takes. As if the universe just *owes* them a massive payout.
It’s always the same, isn’t it? Macroeconomic trends, institutional adoption… blah, blah, blah. They’re hoping XRP will magically morph into Bitcoin, fuelled by Brad Garlinghouse’s occasional, carefully-worded bullish pronouncements. Some are even saying \$5-\$10 is on the cards, which, you know, *might* be vaguely plausible after several bottles of Pinot Grigio. But \$10,000? Seriously? Someone needs a reality check… and possibly a lie down. 😴
Apparently, some bloke called JackTheRippler (catchy, I know) posted something on June 3rd, asking his 392K followers if they believed in the \$10,000 dream. The sheer optimism! It’s almost… touching. Almost. It’s certainly got the crypto chattering classes all aflutter. 🦋
HIT THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU BELIEVE IN $10,000 PER #XRP!
XRP —> 👑

And then there’s Pumpius (honestly, these names!), who apparently spent ages crafting a thread explaining XRP’s “potential.” He’s predicting a \$16–30 trillion tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market by 2030. Apparently, if XRP manages to grab a tiny sliver of that pie, we’re all going to be swimming in cash. If my aunt had wheels, she’d be a bicycle. 🚲
If you think $XRP can’t hit $10,000…
You’re already priced out of the future.This isn’t hopium. It’s math, markets, and macroeconomics.
Let me walk you through the biggest monetary reset in human history — and why XRP sits right at the center of it.👇🧵

“If you think XRP can’t hit \$10,000, you’re already priced out of the future,” he declared. Well, Pumpius, darling, I think I’ll take my chances. I’m quite happy with my current level of “priced out-ness,” thank you very much. 💅
Can XRP Price *Really* Hit \$10,000?
So, while everyone’s clinging to Garlinghouse’s vague suggestions that XRP could be the next Bitcoin, let’s just consider the teensy-weensy issue of economics, shall we? Could XRP’s ginormous supply *possibly* compete with Bitcoin’s limited 21 million? It’s like comparing my chances of fitting into my skinny jeans after Christmas dinner with, well, anything remotely achievable. 🙅♀️
Let’s be brutally honest, shall we? The idea of XRP hitting \$10,000 is, at this point, utterly bonkers. A quick glance at the maths reveals why. It’s all about market dynamics and XRP’s frankly terrifying circulating supply.
To reach \$10,000, XRP’s market cap would need to be, wait for it, approximately \$589 trillion (\$58.9 billion tokens × \$10,000). That’s more than the entire global stock market, which is only around \$100–120 trillion. And it’s way bigger than the world’s annual GDP, which is a measly \$105 trillion. Just a tad ambitious, wouldn’t you say? 🙄
Even if XRP somehow managed to snag 10% of a \$30 trillion tokenized asset market (as one of these Ripple dreamers suggested), the resulting market cap would be a mere \$3 trillion. That would put XRP at, like, \$50 per token. Which, you know, is still quite a lot. But it would also mean XRP would have to overtake Bitcoin’s market cap by a significant margin. And let’s face it, that’s about as likely as me turning down a glass of champagne. 🥂
So, unless there’s a sudden, unprecedented global shortage of XRP (unlikely), or some sort of mass hysteria (slightly more plausible, given the current state of the world), the \$10,000 target remains pure, unadulterated hype. For now, XRP’s potential probably lies in slightly more modest growth – maybe \$5–\$10. Driven by actual utility, not some ridiculous Bitcoin-esque fantasy. Now, where’s that Pinot Grigio? 🍷
