Required direct XRP settlement volumeTarget price × circulating supply × available liquidity share × daily velocity ÷ liquidity reserve multipleMarket cap is displayed for context only. It is not the core model.
Implied XRP priceDaily settlement volume × liquidity reserve multiple ÷ circulating supply ÷ available liquidity share ÷ daily velocityBoth formulas use direct settlement volume assumptions, not exchange trading volume.

Custom Volume Mode

Reverse the model: enter direct daily settlement volume and calculate implied XRP price.

Same Settlement Volume Comparison

Same daily settlement volume. Different assumption set. Different implied XRP price.

USING YOUR CUSTOM ASSUMPTIONS
$98.7216
Implied XRP price using your Custom Mode supply, liquidity share, velocity, and liquidity reserve multiple.
USING THE DEFAULT ASSUMPTIONS
$98.7216
Implied XRP price using the same daily settlement volume with the default model assumptions.

Holding daily settlement volume constant, your custom assumptions produce an implied XRP price equal to 1x the default-assumption result.

Exchange Volume Context

Compares modeled direct settlement volume to exchange trading volume for scale only.

⌄

Exchange trading can influence XRP's market price, but trading volume is not equivalent to direct XRP settlement utility. It is shown here only as a scale comparison and is not included in the utility calculation.

Based on your current $50 XRP target, the model requires approximately $506.48B per day in direct XRP settlement volume.
Current exchange volume
$2.4B / day
Trading activity on exchanges. Not direct utility settlement volume.
Modeled direct settlement volume
$506.48B / day
Uses the current Custom Mode target-price scenario.
Scale comparison
211.0x
Modeled Custom Mode settlement volume is 211.0x current XRP exchange volume.

This does not mean XRP needs exchange volume to equal utility volume. It only shows how the modeled settlement scale compares with current trading activity.

Volume Benchmarks

Reference markets for scale. These are not claims of XRP’s current utility.

⌄
Benchmark figures are approximate reference-market values used for scale only, not XRP adoption claims, direct XRP settlement claims, or addressable-market capture estimates. Some markets publish multiple measures, including turnover, settlement value, processed value, raw transfer volume, and adjusted volume. This table uses labeled figures for context and should not be added together as a single opportunity estimate.

DTCC total value processed$12.88T$4.7 quadrillionDTCC 2025 total value processed reference. Daily value shown as annual total divided by 365 for scale only. Securities processing value; not a direct payment settlement claim or XRP adoption claim.
Visa payments volume$38.9B$14.2TVisa FY2025 payments volume reference. Daily value shown as annual total divided by 365 for scale only. Payments volume is distinct from Visa total volume.
Adjusted stablecoin transfer volume$27.95B$10.2TVisa adjusted stablecoin transaction volume over the last 12 months. Daily value shown as annual total divided by 365 for scale only. Adjusted volume is used because raw on-chain transfer volume may be significantly higher and can include non-economic activity.
Global remittance flows$2.48B$905BEstimated 2024 global remittance flows. Daily value shown as annual total divided by 365 for scale only. Global remittances are shown as a reference market, not as a claim about XRP capture.

Assumption Notes

Brief explanations of the model’s key assumptions.

⌄
What is available liquidity share?
The portion of circulating XRP assumed to be practically available for settlement liquidity. This is not the same as total circulating supply.
What is daily velocity?
How many times the available liquidity can turn over in a day. Higher velocity means the same liquidity can support more daily settlement volume.
What is the liquidity reserve multiple?
A conservative cushion. A larger buffer increases the liquidity required to support the same target price or volume scenario.
Why show market cap?
Market cap helps users understand scale, but the core model is settlement volume, liquidity share, velocity, and buffer.
