XRP might be heading toward a $1.5 trillion market cap — and no, that’s not just internet hype.
According to crypto analyst EGRAG, XRP’s price trajectory could soon change dramatically. In his latest update, EGRAG presented a technical setup that he believes could push XRP far beyond current levels, predicting a potential price of $25.56 if all conditions align. So, let’s break down what this prediction is based on and how realistic it really is.
First, the foundation of his analysis comes from what’s called a “W formation” — a pattern often seen by chart analysts as a sign of a coming bullish reversal. EGRAG pointed out that this pattern has been forming on the two-month market cap chart for XRP, and now it’s finally complete as of January 2025.
Here’s how that pattern looks in XRP’s history, according to EGRAG:
• Back in January 2018, XRP’s market cap peaked at $128 billion.
• Then it crashed down to $5 billion by March 2020.
• A bounce followed, pushing the cap back to $89 billion in April 2021.
• Another dip came in June 2022, falling to $13.88 billion.
• And most recently, it rallied to $195 billion by January 2025.
That forms the two bottoms of the “W” pattern, which now seems ready to break above the so-called neckline — a critical resistance level. And if that happens, according to EGRAG, the floodgates could open.
Now, let’s talk targets.
EGRAG outlined two main scenarios based on different charting techniques:
1. On a non-logarithmic scale, the next major stop is a market cap of $270 billion, which corresponds to a price of around $4.60 for XRP.
2. But on a logarithmic scale, the projection goes much higher — up to $1.5 trillion in market cap, with XRP reaching $25.56 per token.
Now you might be wondering: how does he come up with numbers like $1.5 trillion?
Well, it’s not just from imagination. EGRAG uses Fibonacci retracement levels and previous market cycles. For instance, in the past cycle, XRP’s market cap jumped 242% from the Fib 1.0 level to 1.618. If that same growth plays out again, we’d go from $195 billion to $450 billion, putting XRP around $7.66.
But if the rally is more aggressive — say, a 600% increase — we’re talking $978 billion in market cap and a price of $16.65. And yes, a further leap would bring us to $1.5 trillion and $25.56.
Of course, even EGRAG himself admits these numbers come with a huge “what if.”
He was careful to say that he doesn’t use market cap as his main indicator, because it can “give the wrong impression about real liquidity or value.” In other words, a high market cap doesn’t necessarily mean the coin is usable or that investors can easily cash out at those levels.
Still, he believes market cap targets are useful for spotting potential — and creating goals. But he added an important warning: “Don’t get greedy. Always secure profits when possible.” That’s a reminder to all investors not to fall into the trap of dreaming about 10x returns without having a risk strategy in place.
Right now, XRP is trading at $2.30, with a market cap of around $135.3 billion. So, in order to hit the $25 mark, XRP would need to grow more than 10 times in value — which, while not impossible in crypto, is still a huge leap.
So let’s look at this critically.
A price of $25 for XRP would make it one of the largest financial assets in the world, on par with or even larger than companies like Amazon or Google in terms of market cap. Can XRP support that kind of value based on utility alone?
Well, the token is backed by a growing list of real-world use cases, especially in the cross-border payments space, and Ripple — the company behind it — already has a full crypto payments license in the UAE, as previously reported.
In addition, the Dubai Land Department recently selected the XRP Ledger for its government-backed real estate tokenization project. So there’s real momentum building behind XRP — not just speculative.
Still, we should ask: Does a bullish chart pattern guarantee this outcome?
