XRP or SpaceX: Which Investment Has the Better Upside?

Crypto analyst Zach Rector compares XRP and SpaceX as investment opportunities in June 2026, focusing on potential return on investment (ROI). According to him, a move to $10 per XRP would push its market cap to around $620 billion, delivering roughly a 9x return for investors. For SpaceX to offer the same return, its valuation would need to grow to nearly $15 trillion.

XRP was valued at roughly $70-77 billion in June 2026, while SpaceX was valued at around $1.75 trillion following its IPO. To match XRP's projected 9x return, SpaceX would need to add more than $13 trillion in market value. It would become worth more than the world’s largest public companies combined.

Rector notes that many investors once doubted XRP could even surpass a $150 billion or $180 billion market cap, yet it eventually did. For that reason, he believes XRP reaching a $600 billion-plus valuation appears more achievable than SpaceX growing into a $15 trillion company, making XRP the more compelling opportunity from an ROI perspective.
