With Ripple now entering the treasury payments sector, how high could XRP price go if the altcoin captures just 3% of the market?
Notably, Ripple recently confirmed it would acquire GTreasury, a treasury management firm. The acquisition represents Ripple’s entry into the multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury market and gives it direct access to some of the world’s largest and most established corporate clients.
For context, GTreasury has spent more than four decades supporting treasury operations for major international companies. With this deal, Ripple seeks to combine its blockchain-based payment network with GTreasury’s expertise in managing liquidity, cash, and financial risk.
Now, with more financial institutions turning toward tokenized assets and digital currencies, Ripple wants to position itself as a major partner for Fortune 500 companies. Many corporate treasurers now need systems that can handle stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and other digital assets at scale.
Interestingly, after announcing the acquisition, Garlinghouse took to X to confirm that Ripple is now breaking into the $120 trillion corporate treasury payments market. His post triggered excitement among XRP holders, many of whom believe this development could give XRP exposure to one of the largest markets in the world.
Notably, it is worth clarifying that the $120 trillion figure refers to total global corporate treasury assets, which include cash, liquidity, and short-term investments held by non-financial corporations, rather than the amount of payments made each year.
Considering this, even a small portion of the market could have a massive impact on XRP price. Specifically, if XRP captured just 3% of the $120 trillion pool, that would amount to $3.6 trillion.
Today, XRP’s market cap stands at about $138.59 billion, with a price of $2.31 and a circulating supply of 59.91 billion tokens. Adding $3.6 trillion to its value would push XRP’s market cap to roughly $3.739 trillion. Notably, with a circulating supply of 60 billion tokens, this would give XRP a potential price of around $62.30.
Importantly, several analysts have also predicted that XRP could reach similar price levels. In August, market commentator Paul Barron told AllInCrypto host Rupert that XRP could climb to $60 within a year if strong catalysts appear.
