Market analysts have been discussing the prospect of XRP surpassing its peak market cap, and recent projections suggest it could reach $500 billion in the long term. This prediction is not without merit, as the current market valuation of XRP is significantly lower than its all-time high.
XRP currently trades at $1.41 with a market cap of $87.1 billion, making it the 4th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. However, this valuation is only 59% below its peak market cap high of $216.7 billion in July 2025.
Analyst ChiefraT has made bold predictions about XRP's long-term potential, suggesting that it will not only recover to its peak but also increase more than twofold to unprecedented valuations. This projection is based on the altcoin forming a classical cup-and-handle pattern on the 2-week chart.
According to ChiefraT, if XRP attains a $400 billion market cap, it will reach $6.47 per coin, while a $500 billion valuation would result in a new all-time high of $8.09. Prediction site Changelly also sees XRP reaching these prices, with timelines of December 2034 and September 2040, respectively.
