I Did the Math: XRP to 2?

XRP overtaking Ethereum? I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw it happen once—and it might again. In January 2018, XRP’s market cap briefly surpassed ETH’s, sending the XRP Army into a frenzy and proving anything’s possible in crypto. Fast-forward to July 2025: XRP climbed past USDT to hit a $216 billion market cap, trading above $3, while Ethereum surged to roughly $467 billion at $3,870. The math shows XRP needs about a 2.5× jump—around $8—to flip ETH, yet analysts like Zach Rector predict $4–$5 soon and even $15 by September, which would value XRP near $900 billion. Still, Ethereum isn’t standing still—it outpaced XRP with a 57% monthly gain and a 112% rally over 12 weeks. But XRP has fresh catalysts: a favorable SEC ruling, renewed exchange support, Ripple’s banking partnerships, and whispers of “silent Wall Street interest” from John Deaton. With technical breakout past $3 and potential institutional ETFs, XRP’s underdog story could turn into a shocker.
