Can Ripple Really Overtake Ethereum? Analyst Weighs In on XRP Path to $100

Cryptocurrency analyst Umar Khan thinks Ripple (XRP) could overtake Ethereum in market cap, but not in price per coin.

Cryptocurrency analyst Umar Khan at 99Bitcoins says he doesn’t see Ethereum reaching $2,000 anytime soon, but he does see Ripple (XRP) flipping the market cap behemoth.

If XRP doubles its current market cap, we’d be looking at about $280 billion. This would push XRP from $2.40 to nearly $5 per token. With increased demand, prices could even hit between $5 and $10.

Crypto markets usually move together during bull runs. When Bitcoin hits all-time highs, Ethereum typically follows. However, in this bull cycle, we haven’t seen Ethereum’s expected surge yet.

This pattern might still play out. XRP also tends to spike during market rallies. It underperformed in the last bull run, but this cycle could be different.

Recently, XRP has been getting lots of media attention. Headlines about price changes and Ripple’s legal wins against the SEC are everywhere.

Technically, the MACD crossed over, indicating a buy. Stochastic and RSI are still in the neutral zone, suggesting that there’s more room for the rally to continue.

This also shows that investors aren’t just buying XRP—they’re holding onto it, which creates upward pressure on the price.

Community Sentiment More Optimistic Than Ever

The XRP community seems more optimistic than ever. Major exchanges like Bitrue suggest XRP is ready for a ‘moonshot.’

Several influencers are running XRP giveaways. Some community members on X predict prices as high as $12 per token.

Khan addressed some extreme predictions floating around social media. He sees claims on X, TikTok, and crypto Twitter about XRP hitting $10,000 per coin.

He doesn’t think that’s realistic anytime soon or even within the next few bull runs.

Is $100 XRP Possible?

While $10,000 seems far-fetched, Khan doesn’t completely rule out $100 someday. With Ripple’s legal case now over, some fans are expecting a massive price surge.

At $100 per token, early investors could see 40 to 50 times returns. A simple $100 investment might be worth $4,000. This potential for massive gains attracts many to XRP.

However, Khan reminds viewers that this analysis is not financial advice. He encourages everyone to do their own research before investing in any cryptocurrency.
