Where could the XRP price reach if XRP matches silver’s market cap, as the precious metal crosses the $4.48 trillion valuation?
Amid an impressive year, silver (XAG) has been one of the best-performing assets globally in 2025, even outpacing gold (XAU), the largest asset by market cap. However, while silver has been on an impressive run, XRP has underperformed since October 2025 amid a broader crypto market downturn.
For perspective, silver, which began the year at $28.95, has increased 174% to $79 at press time, representing a new all-time high for the precious metal. This performance has brought silver’s market cap to a new peak of $4.485 trillion, considering the existing 1.751 million metric tonnes of silver.
XRP Gains the “Digital Silver” Tag
In contrast, XRP, which started the year with a price of $2.07, has collapsed 11.19% to $1.84 at the time of reporting. This comes despite several XRP community figures ascribing XRP with the “digital silver” tag, a description that has led to expectations of a rally similar to silver’s 2025 run.
Notably, Jake Molter from Molt Media recently pointed out that multiple investors dismissed silver for years, but appear to now be FOMOing into the market at peak prices. According to him, investors are currently dismissing XRP, and they could also FOMO into the market when XRP soars to record highs.
Meanwhile, market analyst Steph also called attention to a structure that gold and silver observed in 2022 before their eventual upsurge. Notably, this involved a long grind, a final flush wick, and then a quiet base. He suggested that XRP was following the same structure, which could lead to its own upsurge.
XRP Price if It Claims a $4.485T Market Cap
Amid these discussions, we recently assessed how much the XRP price could rally for the crypto asset to match silver’s recent peak market cap of $4.485 trillion. Currently, XRP has a valuation of $111.99 billion at its current price of $1.84, having lost over $104.7 billion in value since the peak of $216.69 billion in July 2025.
XRP’s current market cap of $111.99 billion accounts for the crypto asset’s circulating supply of 60.57 billion tokens. If XRP claimed a market cap of $4.485 trillion like silver, its price would surge to $74, representing a 3,921% from the current price.
