XRP Could Reach $35 if Citi’s $5.5T Projection for the Tokenization Market Plays Out

Franklin Templeton’s Head of Digital Assets, Roger Bayston, recently suggested that Citi’s projection of $5.5 trillion in tokenized assets by 2030 may be conservative given the vast scale of global capital markets. Currently, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) maintains a 2.28% market share of tokenized assets, representing approximately $4 billion in value. If this market share remains constant as the total tokenized sector reaches the $5.5 trillion milestone, the XRPL ecosystem could grow to hold $125.4 billion in assets. Analysts and AI models have explored how this potential expansion might influence the price of the native XRP token through various valuation frameworks. These models suggest a wide range of potential price outcomes, spanning from $3.09 to $35.43, depending on market maturity and utility-driven demand. Factors such as the XRPL’s deflationary burn mechanism and the necessity for increased liquidity pools for cross-border transactions are identified as key drivers for future valuation. While these figures remain theoretical, they highlight the significant impact that institutional adoption of blockchain infrastructure could have on native network assets. This analysis underscores the ongoing transition toward blockchain as a foundational layer for global financial operations.
