XRP News Today: Google Gemini Models XRP at $134.50 If XRPL Takes 20% RWA Market Share by 2026

Google Gemini has issued a speculative price projection for XRP, suggesting that the cryptocurrency could reach $134.50 if the XRP Ledger (XRPL) secures 20 percent of the tokenized real-world assets (RWA) market by 2026. This analysis, shared by crypto commentator John Squire, is based on a hypothetical model that extrapolates from current market ratios and adoption assumptions [1][2][3].

The scenario assumes that the total tokenized RWA market will reach $70 billion by 2026. If XRPL captures 20 percent of this market, it would manage $14 billion in tokenized assets. Given that the current RWA value linked to XRPL is $302.4 million, this would represent a dramatic increase in the platform’s economic footprint.

Using this $14 billion figure, the model calculates a potential market capitalization for XRP by maintaining the current ratio between XRP’s market cap and its RWA value. Presently, XRP has a market cap of $172.6 billion with $302.4 million in RWA, yielding a ratio of approximately 570.8. Applying this ratio to the $14 billion in projected RWA would result in a market cap of roughly $7.99 trillion [1][2][3].

Dividing this projected market cap by the current circulating supply of approximately 59.41 billion XRP tokens produces an estimated price of $134.50 per token. This projection does not represent a forecast of actual market performance but rather a mathematical extrapolation based on the assumption of a 20 percent market share in tokenized RWAs by 2026 [1][2][3].

Squire emphasized that the model is not speculative hype but a data-driven projection built on maintaining proportional relationships between XRP’s market cap and the value of RWA on the ledger. However, such a scenario is contingent on XRPL achieving significant adoption in the RWA sector, which remains uncertain.

Community members have noted that real-world adoption metrics—such as on-chain activity and transaction volume—typically precede price surges. Therefore, while the model provides a useful framework for understanding XRP’s potential, it also underscores the importance of monitoring the platform’s real-world utility and growth [1][2][3].

The projection highlights the growing interest in tokenized assets as a means to improve liquidity and accessibility in traditional financial markets. If XRPL captures 20 percent of this emerging market, it could position itself as a major player in the blockchain infrastructure space, potentially attracting greater institutional demand for XRP and supporting the projected valuation.

It is important to note that this analysis is a conditional projection and does not reflect current market conditions. The path to a $134.50 price point would require substantial adoption, regulatory clarity, and ongoing development of the XRP Ledger ecosystem. As such, the projection should be viewed as an illustrative model rather than a definitive forecast [1][2][3].
