Tristan Tate Sparks Conversation About the Potential for XRP to Reach $100

Tristan Tate, a media personality with 3.3 million followers on Twitter, has sparked a conversation about the potential for XRP to reach $100.

Media personality Tristan Tate, who boasts 3.3 million followers on X, sparked a discussion on the platform regarding the potential for XRP to reach $100.

On Tuesday, Tate took to X to ask the crypto community to explain the hype surrounding XRP. Specifically, he sought clarification on the possibility of XRP rising to hundreds of dollars per coin.

The inquiry quickly gained traction, accumulating over 3 million views. Members of the XRP community纷纷提供了他对 XRP 潜力的见解以及炒作背后的原因。

panos Mekras, a crypto author and co-founder of Anodos Finance, was among the notable figures who responded. According to Mekras, XRP is generating buzz because of its underlying blockchain, the XRP Ledger, which he refers to as “the OG DeFi chain.”

Mekras highlighted XRPL as the first non-PoW blockchain network, providing faster, cheaper, and more scalable solutions. He also mentioned XRPL hosting the first-ever global decentralized exchange.

Moreover, Mekras explained to Tate that the XRP Ledger was designed to eliminate the need for banks. He stated that it offers a superior alternative to Bitcoin, boasting faster, cheaper, and more decentralized money without the incentives of mining or validation.

Mekras further noted that XRPL is more advanced, boasting the first DEX, tokenization capabilities, and payment functionalities.

Meanwhile, Abdullah Nassif, known as Abs in the community, commented that XRP “makes money move for the banks as quickly and easily as data moves on the internet today.”

Similarly, crypto educator Edo Farina asserted that XRP is 1,000 to 1,500 times more cost-effective, faster, and scalable than Bitcoin. He argues that XRP aligns more closely with Satoshi Nakamoto's vision of a functional digital currency.

According to Farina, Bitcoin has become increasingly “centralized” due to concentrated mining pools. He even went as far as to describe Bitcoin as the beta test coin, with XRP being the “Final Product.”

XRPL validator Vet, another prominent figure in the XRP community, invited Tate to join a podcast to discuss XRP further.

In the discussion, X user “Mr. Random” highlighted a factor that is often overlooked in the popular projections of a triple-digit price for XRP. He pointed out that if XRP were to hit $100, its market cap would exceed $5 trillion, or $10 trillion when considering escrow tokens.

Mr. Random emphasized that this would surpass the market cap of many major world economies, making it highly unlikely given the current economic landscape. He further noted that for XRP to reach $10,000, its market cap would need to hit a staggering $500 trillion.

However, XRP proponents maintain that market cap implications are ultimately “irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.”
