XRP is currently at the center of a growing debate as analysts discuss a 
potential move toward $100 and whether traditional market capitalization 
valuation models still apply. The expert argues that if XRP becomes widely 
used for payments and settlements, its role may shift toward financial 
infrastructure. In that case, the cryptocurrency’s value would depend more on 
network usage and transaction flow, rather than on market capitalization 
alone. XRP At $100 Could Happen Without A High Market Cap In an X post on May 
24, crypto market expert Gina argued that XRP&#8217;s value should not be judged 
using traditional market capitalization models because the token is designed 
to serve as global financial infrastructure, not a passive store of value. 
According to her, XRP&#8217;s real strength does not come from its price action or 
total valuation, but from how frequently it can be used to move money across 
its network. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Got Rejected At The 200-MA, Why 
Breaking $76,000 Could Be A Problem To illustrate her point, Gina used a 
hypothetical scenario in which XRP trades at $100 and has a circulating supply 
of 50 billion tokens. In that case, XRP would have a market capitalization of 
roughly $5 trillion, surpassing that of Bitcoin and Ethereum. While that 
figure may seem extremely large, Gina argued that market cap alone does not 
capture the total value the XRP Ledger (XRPL) processes daily. She also 
focused on XRP’s liquidity velocity. Gina suggested that if each XRP token 
were reused about 1,000 times daily for cross-border settlements, the network 
could theoretically support up to $5 quadrillion in transaction flows every 
day, all without needing a higher market cap. Based on this concept, XRP&#8217;s 
value as a payment and settlement tool could far exceed what market 
capitalization alone suggests. Put simply, a $5 trillion market cap reflects 
only the total paper value of XRP at a given price. It says nothing about how 
much money a network can actually process or move through repeated 
transactions, which, according to Gina, is how XRP’s real value can truly be 
measured. Comparing XRP Market Cap Argument With SWIFT In her post, Gina 
compared XRP to the global banking messaging network, SWIFT (Society for 
Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication). She noted that, unlike 
cryptocurrencies, SWIFT does not have a market capitalization because it is 
not an investment asset. Despite that, trillions of dollars still move through 
its system daily. Related Reading: American Mega Bank Is Dumping Its Ethereum 
Holdings, Here’s What It’s Buying Gina suggested XRP could function in a 
similar way by serving as a bridge asset that helps institutions settle 
transactions quickly across different currencies and tokenized financial 
products. She stressed that XRP should not be viewed in the same category as 
assets like gold or Bitcoin, which are often treated as long-term stores of 
value. Instead, she described XRP as infrastructure for a future tokenized 
economy. Under this framework, Gina argued that traditional market cap 
calculations become even less important because utility-driven networks are 
measured by usage and throughput. She also claimed that if XRP were ever used 
to power even a small portion of the global derivatives markets or 
institutional settlement systems, the market cap valuation model would 
automatically “go out the window.” Featured image created with Dall.E, chart
