Ripple's former CTO, David Schwartz, has predicted that XRP will grow faster than Bitcoin and eventually overtake it in market value. According to Schwartz, XRP needs to reach a strong double-digit price to achieve this.

Currently, the XRP price is around $1.4, giving it a market value of about $88 billion. In comparison, Bitcoin has a market value of $1.55 trillion, which is about 18 times bigger than XRP's.

For XRP to overtake Bitcoin, its market value needs to grow by trillions of dollars. If Bitcoin reaches a $3 trillion market cap, for example, XRP would need to move above $3 trillion to become the biggest cryptocurrency.
