The $10,000 XRP theory gains traction as a supply-squeeze argument, though experts warn that the thesis relies on speculative assumptions regarding institutional demand and holder behavior.
The article analyzes the XRP $10,000 supply squeeze theory but concludes it is speculative and not a supply-math inevitability.
Market analysts are revisiting the controversial $10,000 XRP price theory, framing it as a liquidity supply-math problem rather than a standard valuation. While the argument highlights that institutional demand could outpace available circulating supply, critics note that the $630 trillion implied market cap ignores token velocity and the tendency for dormant holders to sell at higher price levels.
The theory suggests that if institutional demand for cross-border settlement grows while the majority of XRP holders refuse to sell, the limited available supply would force prices significantly higher.
The prediction assumes that holders will not sell at higher prices, ignores the high velocity of XRP in transactions, and fails to account for the fact that XRP is not mandatory for every ledger transaction.
