Ex-Ripple CTO: XRP can overtake Bitcoin by market cap through growth, not a BTC crash
- —BTC's market cap ($1.55 trillion) is about 18 times larger than XRP's ($88 billion)
- —With BTC at a $3 trillion market cap, XRP would need a price of about $49.40 given its 62.74 billion token supply
- —Schwartz gave no timeline and did not claim XRP would reach $50
- —Growth could come from expansion of the overall market rather than a rotation of funds out of BTC
Why it matters: The former Ripple CTO's remarks set a benchmark for XRP holders, but the scenario requires years of outperformance and remains speculative.
