Ripple President Predicts $30 Billion Growth for XRP by Year-End

Ripple President Monica Long shared ambitious predictions for XRP during an appearance at XRP Seoul, outlining significant growth targets for the XRP Ledger. She forecasted that tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger could reach $30 billion by year-end, a fivefold increase from the current $6 billion. Long also projected a tenfold rise in transaction volume, aiming for 100 million transactions driven by the agentic economy, up from the current 11 million.

Long emphasized the importance of utility, liquidity, and trust as foundational elements for XRP's long-term success. She described XRP as a multifaceted asset capable of solving real-world institutional problems. The interviewer highlighted XRP's role as a bridge asset, noting that increased tokenized assets and institutional participation could create a compounding effect for the network.

Digital Asset Investor highlighted analysis showing that $1.1 billion to $10.7 billion in exchange inflows would be required to push XRP to $10. The XRP Ledger already claims the fastest-growing real-world assets network in the top 10, with an 8.84% growth. Franklin Templeton's tokenized fund, launched on the network, surged over 6,000%, reaching more than $48 million.

Two major events are set to take place in October in New York City. Evernorth is expected to begin trading on the NASDAQ under the ticker XRP on or around October 8, following its business combination on October 7. Ripple Swell is scheduled for October 27 through 29. Additionally, Brad Garlinghouse revealed that Ripple nearly shut down during the SEC lawsuit, considering distributing XRP to shareholders. The lawsuit's resolution has left XRP as the only digital asset in the United States with legal clarity.
