XRP Price Could Surge from Massive Derivatives Market Inflows
Jake Claver has made a compelling case for XRP’s potential price surge, grounded in the staggering scale of the global derivatives market. He notes that this market moves more money in a single month than the entire crypto market has ever seen. Claver argues that even a small inflow from derivatives into XRP could push its price far beyond current expectations, suggesting that “XRP isn’t near its ceiling.”
Claver’s reasoning hinges on the massive capital flows within derivatives. Global OTC derivatives notional outstanding reached approximately $844 trillion at the end of 2025, while FX derivatives alone recorded an average daily turnover of $6.6 trillion in April 2025. He previously set a $750 target for XRP, a figure that seems more plausible when considering the potential influx from derivatives. XRP’s current market cap of $95.4 billion could see dramatic growth if even a fraction of the $8.44 trillion, representing 1% of the derivatives market, flows into crypto.
The community response to Claver’s argument has been varied but engaged. Some market participants highlight the reverse carry trade, where investors unwinding positions in higher-yielding assets could drive capital into settlement assets like XRP. Many agree with Claver’s view that the derivatives market presents a significant opportunity for XRP’s growth.
