David Schwartz, the CTO Emeritus at Ripple, recently suggested that XRP could one day surpass Bitcoin in total market capitalization. His comments focus on the utility and growing activity on the XRP Ledger. He believes that as more projects build on the network, the asset will gain the momentum needed to reach this milestone.

The prediction arrives during a period of wider market volatility. While other major coins are facing price pressure, XRP remains a focus for many investors. The interest is driven partly by ongoing discussions about potential spot ETFs, which could provide a new path for institutional money to enter the ecosystem.

Investors are now watching to see if the XRP Ledger can sustain its growth in a competitive market. Whether the asset can actually challenge Bitcoin remains a debated topic among traders. For now, all eyes are on how the network expands and how regulatory clarity impacts the project moving forward.
