A group of analysts is drawing attention to XRP’s liquidity characteristics as the main reason its valuation could, under certain conditions, climb into the triple-digit range. Their remarks came during a recent episode of the Paul Barron Network podcast, which featured media commentator Zach Rector. Rector highlighted that XRP’s market has displayed unusually high liquidity multipliers, meaning relatively small inflows of capital have historically triggered disproportionately large increases in market capitalization. Using data from Coinglass, he noted that during XRP’s November rally, inflows measured in the tens of millions of dollars coincided with market cap expansions in the tens of billions. Over a 30-day sample, multipliers were observed at ratios ranging from 50-to-1 up to nearly 900-to-1. Based on this pattern, Rector argued that XRP does not necessarily require trillions in new investment to reach $100 per token . Instead, cumulative inflows between $100 billion and $300 billion could be sufficient to drive the asset toward that level. This runs counter to the argument that a $6 trillion market capitalization, implied by $100 XRP given its current circulating supply, makes such a target unattainable. Role of Exchange-Traded Funds The question then turns to where such inflows might originate. Rector pointed to potential exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on XRP as a key driver of demand. He argued that first-year inflows could range from $10 to $20 billion, significantly above JPMorgan’s more conservative estimate of $4 to $8 billion. Other industry leaders share similar optimism. Canary Capital’s CEO, Steven McClurg, recently suggested that up to $5 billion could be invested within the first month of an XRP ETF launch. Rector therefore sees a realistic base case of $20 to $30 for XRP by 2026, with much higher valuations possible if ETF adoption scales over time. Podcast host Paul Barron emphasized that ETFs are only one part of a broader picture. He outlined other developments that could act as price catalysts, including potential U.S. legislation on digital asset market structure and Ripple’s ongoing efforts to secure a banking license . According to Barron, the convergence of these factors could create conditions for XRP to move not only beyond $50 but also approach $100. Even after corrections, he suggested that XRP could hold a higher long-term support range, potentially between $30 and $40. Retirement Funds and Institutional Entry Rector further underscored the role of institutional investors, citing commentary from financial advisor Ric Edelman, who has shifted from a cautious stance to recommending portfolio allocations of 10% to 40% in digital assets. Rector estimated that retirement accounts such as 401(k)s could eventually release between $8 and $12 trillion into crypto markets. If even a fraction of this allocation materialized, XRP could be one of the primary assets to benefit.

He characterized the asset as a long-term reserve rather than a speculative trade. At the same time, he cautioned that price volatility will remain significant. Gains, he said, can be quickly followed by sharp corrections, and investors should prepare for large swings even in a generally upward trend.
