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 & 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.

XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have pulled in more money than their Solana ETF counterparts even though SOL has largely outperformed XRP on price during much of the year. The difference, according to market expert Sam Daodu, appears to come down to what’s happening on the regulatory and institutional side. Different Paths For XRP And Solana ETFs Daodu highlighted that XRP ETFs have gathered $1.39 billion in cumulative inflows since their November 2025 launch. Solana ETFs, launched in October, have accumulated $1.12 billion over the same overall timeframe. In other words, despite XRP entering a drawdown from its summer 2025 high and despite SOL’s relative price strength, XRP’s ETF flows have still landed ahead, with the inflow gap persisting at the cumulative level. Related Reading: Bitwise Bullish on Hyperliquid: HYPE Labeled ‘Undervalued’ As It Rallies 20% The pattern of ETF demand for XRP also looks particularly consistent. Daodu noted that XRP ETFs logged a 13-day streak of positive net flows in early December 2025, a run that came in ahead of Solana’s cumulative inflow total of $618.59 million within those 13 trading days. Looking at more recent flow data, XRP reported $81.6 million in April inflows alongside a 14-day inflow streak. By the end of April, that put XRP’s year-to-date inflows at roughly $124 million. Solana’s April inflows were far lower—$38.69 million, which is less than half of XRP’s April figure. Daodu also pointed out that Solana’s monthly inflows fell from $419 million in November 2025 to $38.69 million in April, suggesting a weaker stretch that only appears to be improving now. That recovery is showing up in May. Solana has posted more than $99 million after 19 trading days, while XRP is close behind with roughly $95 million in the same period. Even so, the larger story remains that XRP has maintained a steadier inflow profile relative to Solana, and Daodu believes there is a catalyst supporting that steadiness—one that Solana does not have. Alpenglow Vs CLARITY Act In Daodu’s view, the structural difference is the CLARITY Act. He argued that this is the “structural difference the price charts don’t show,” because a full Senate vote would help establish a clearer legal framework around issues that matter directly to regulated institutions. Specifically, Daodu said the bill would create defined rules for XRP custody, collateral treatment, and balance sheet exposure—an “exact compliance checklist” for pension funds and regulated asset managers that need clarity before allocating capital at scale. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Hit Near $95,000 If It Holds Above This Critical Support, Top Analyst Says Solana, by contrast, is associated with a different kind of catalyst: Alpenglow, a network upgrade aimed at achieving sub-150ms transaction finality. Still, Daodu emphasized that throughput improvements alone don’t unlock the same category of institutional money as regulatory clarity does. He suggested that the capital attracted by clarity is the type that could help close the gap between XRP’s $1.39 billion in inflows and the $4–8 billion inflow range JPMorgan has projected if the bill passes. The expert concluded that for XRP to break higher in price, the market likely needs an even larger catalyst—particularly regulatory clarity through the CLARITY Act and stronger institutional participation. At the time of this writing, XRP traded at $1.37, recording a 3.8% drop on the weekly time frame, while SOL traded at $86, recording even greater losses of 6% in the same period.
