The idea of XRP trading at $589 may sound unrealistic at first, but the 
rationale behind it is not based on a normal crypto rally. Instead, it is 
based on a scenario where the XRP Ledger becomes part of high-value delivery- 
versus-payment settlement at the DTCC/CLS layer, with the altcoin acting as 
the liquidity asset behind large institutional transactions. Meanwhile, under 
that model, $589 is the level XRP would need to reach to support about $73 
trillion in annual settlement flow with limited slippage. The Transactions 
That Cannot Be Made Smaller To understand the $589 figure, one must first 
understand the category of transaction it is designed to accommodate. Also, 
the $589 XRP calculation starts with the assumption that the XRP Ledger 
achieves delivery-versus-payment adoption at a layer comparable to the 
Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and Continuous Linked 
Settlement (CLS). Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Path To $100 Is Not 
Straightforward, These Things Will Happen First Under this scenario, the token 
would be used for large obligations that cannot be easily netted, broken into 
smaller parts, or settled through multiple layers. These transactions can 
range from about $500 million to $10 billion per ticket. There are many 
corridors that fall under these transactions, and this model breaks it into 
six corridors. DTCC net settlement is assigned about $15 trillion at 20% 
capture; SWIFT cross-border settlement is assigned about $21 trillion at 14% 
capture and FX derivatives net settlement is assigned about $12 trillion at 
12% capture. Furthermore, repo and FICC atomic settlement is assigned about $5 
trillion at 10% capture, nostro displacement is assigned about $9 trillion at 
33% capture, and stablecoin settlement is assigned about $11 trillion at 33% 
capture. This comes to a total of $73 trillion in annual volume passing 
through the XRP Ledger. The Square Root Market Impact Model Produces $589 XRP 
In order for XRP to serve as the bridge asset absorbing these flows, it must 
be deep enough that something like a $2 billion ticket can settle without 
moving its price beyond the 5 basis points of slippage that institutional FX 
desks treat as standard. Related Reading: ‘XRP Was Never Designed To Be 
Cheap,’ So What Is Its Real Value? The $589 figure comes from an inverted 
version of the square root market impact law. The model uses a $2 billion 
ticket size, $73 trillion in annual volume, 0.5% volatility, 5 basis points of 
slippage tolerance, 1.36% turnover, and a 25 billion XRP liquid float. 
Furthermore, the liquid float assumption excludes escrowed XRP, ETF-held XRP, 
treasury-held XRP, and inactive wallets. Under that setup, the required market 
cap comes out near $14.7 trillion. Dividing that required market cap by 25 
billion liquid XRP gives a required price of about $589. Hence, the 
calculation is very different from a simple market cap comparison using the 
full circulating supply. The current circulating supply of XRP is about 61.82 
billion XRP, which is much larger than the assumed 25 billion liquid float in 
the model. This means the $589 outcome depends on only a smaller portion of 
XRP being truly available for active settlement liquidity. At the time of 
writing, XRP is trading at $1.37. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from
