The uncomfortable truth about XRP is that most people may be valuing it 
through the wrong lens. This point of view was made by commentator BarriC, who 
put forward a claim familiar among XRP enthusiasts: The altcoin was never 
designed to be a retail trade. In a recent post on X, he noted that the asset 
was built to move institutional value, and once financial infrastructure 
actually requires XRP, the price will not climb slowly. Instead, it will 
reprice to levels the system demands. XRP As Infrastructure, Not A Trade 
BarriC’s outlook on XRP&#8217;s price action is based on the idea that XRP’s purpose 
has been misunderstood. From the beginning, the XRP Ledger was structured to 
facilitate high-speed settlement, cross-border liquidity, and asset 
tokenization, where people can be their own bank and no middlemen tax their 
transactions. XRPL creators like David Schwartz have always pointed to these 
functionalities as the reason why the XRP Ledger is different. Related

XRP is the bridge asset within that XRPL ecosystem. Through services built by 
Ripple, XRP has been positioned as a tool for on-demand liquidity between 
currencies and financial institutions. The reason offered by BarriC is that if 
banks and payment providers depend on it to settle value efficiently, demand 
would be based on usage, not just speculative trading like an average 
cryptocurrency. Under that framework, XRP’s valuation would no longer be based 
on retail buying pressure. It would reflect how much capital needs to flow 
through the network. How High Can The Price Actually Go? The most interesting 
part of BarriC’s statement is how much necessity pricing will affect the 
token’s price. The outlook is that when the token finally becomes required 
infrastructure, it does not grind higher step by step like a meme-based rally. 
Instead, it is going to reprice abruptly. That is why he dismisses price 
anchors such as $2 or even the three-digit mark at $100. Related Reading: Why 
This Expert Is Predicting A $10,000 Base Price For XRP If the necessity 
pricing were to happen, the price action is going to look more like $1,000 per 
XRP, $10,000 per XRP, or $50,000 per XRP. However, BarriC acknowledged that 
projections of $1,000 to $50,000 sound unrealistic under today’s conditions. 
This is especially true, considering the implied market cap if the altcoin 
were to trade at those predicted price levels. At the time of writing, XRP is 
trading within normal market structures and is currently trading at $1.37, up 
by 2.7% in the past 24 hours. Institutional usage of the altcoin is still 
limited compared to global payment volumes. However, recent moves by Ripple 
are increasingly seeing XRP becoming entrenched in the niche of global 
payments. It is currently unclear which path this price repricing will take, 
as there is no historical precedent in crypto markets for an asset 
transitioning into deeply embedded global payments settlement infrastructure. 
Therefore, projections from BarriC and other bullish XRP proponents are only 
forward-looking predictions. Featured image from RenderHub, chart from
