This means that a higher XRP price is required or even mandated for the system to remain efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-1\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">Leaked Model Predicts XRP Price Rally Between $5 and $4,300<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a post on X, Don Digital Finance <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/niroshan682\/status\/2051927615917720005?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shared<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> details regarding leaked footage featuring Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie. The video captures Gilbertie discussing various <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/xrp-as-high-as-18000\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">legitimate pricing models for XRP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that suggest a valuation range starting from $5 to $4,300.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"jeg_block_title\"><span>Related Reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These pricing models primarily focus on XRP\u2019s <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-institutional-adoption-ripple\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">institutional adoption<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and velocity, which measures how many times it is used within a specific period. Explaining the theory governing the model, Don Digital Finance said that if the XRP network <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/is-xrp-poised-to-replace-swift\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">settles trillions of dollars in global payments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the speed of these transfers would dictate how many tokens must be available at any given second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notably, when institutions move large sums of money, they need deep liquidity to prevent the price from swinging wildly during a single trade. This suggests that if <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/why-xrp-keeps-crashing\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">XRP\u2019s price remains low<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, banks would need to move a massive number of tokens to settle a single multi-billion-dollar payment. This strategy would create a huge functional problem because there are not enough tokens in circulation to support that volume of wealth at a low price point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"jeg_block_title\"><span>Related Reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Gilbertie\u2019s mathematical models suggest that for XRP to <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/stop-analyzing-xrp-on-a-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">handle massive institutional flows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the price needs to be high enough for the existing supply to cover all transactions. A higher price means global banks can use fewer coins to transfer very large amounts of money. According to his calculations, the required price for this system to work is between $5 to $4,300.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-2\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">Analyst Projects XRP Surge To $3 Then Higher<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a separate X post, market expert XRP Queen <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/crypto_queen_x\/status\/2052447285863436372?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that XRP is positioning for a significant breakout.
