XRP’s Potential as a Bridge Currency
In a recent Reddit post on the r/XRP subreddit, user u/jaefoxx revealed intriguing insights about J.P. Morgan Chase’s interest in XRP (Ripple).
According to the post, J.P. Morgan Chase attempted to purchase all 50 billion XRP in escrow from Ripple, highlighting the bank’s significant interest in the cryptocurrency. This revelation has sparked discussions about XRP’s potential to reach high values, such as $10,000 or more.
Partnerships and Adoption
The post emphasizes XRP’s role as a bridge currency and its partnerships with financial institutions. XRP is currently partnered with over 100 banks, while SWIFT, a global provider of secure financial messaging services, has over 11,000 partners. The user suggests that for XRP to succeed, it must work alongside SWIFT rather than replace it. This collaboration could potentially make XRP the bridge currency for thousands of banks, significantly increasing its value.
WOW! 💥

Market Cap Misconceptions
One of the critical points raised in the post is the common misconception about market cap among retail investors. The user clarifies that market cap is not something investors need but something they have. It does not equate to the amount of money invested in an asset by retail traders. The post explains that it would take approximately $130 billion to buy all the XRP in circulation, but this would make it impossible for retail investors to purchase XRP.
Future Value Predictions
The post concludes with a bold prediction: XRP could reach values between $10,000 and $50,000 in the next 10 to 25 years, depending on the speed of adoption. The user believes that XRP is one of the most undervalued assets in the world and that its price needs to be very high for it to function correctly, not just for supply but also for liquidity.
