Ripple’s ex-CTO says XRP will top Bitcoin by growing faster, not by crash

David Schwartz, former CTO at Ripple, told listeners on X Spaces that XRP could eventually claim the top spot in market value. He stressed the overtake would come from faster expansion of the XRP Ledger rather than any collapse in Bitcoin.

Schwartz argued that a broad bull market will lift major coins while weaker projects fade. XRPL, he said, is positioned to capture extra gains thanks to built-in speed and features unavailable on Bitcoin’s base layer.

With 62.74 billion XRP in circulation, matching Bitcoin’s current 1.59 trillion dollar capitalization would require roughly 25.40 dollars per token if Bitcoin stays flat. Should Bitcoin’s market cap double, the bar for XRP to lead would rise above 50 dollars.
