How Can Investors Become XRP Millionaires?

Ripple is widely recognized within the cryptocurrency community. And followers of digital assets have been keeping a close eye on the company’s ongoing legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for several years.

Currently, Ripple’s native token, XRP, trades at 85% below its all-time high from January 2018. Could XRP potentially make investors millionaires?

Newcomers often panic and hastily sell off their assets during large-scale market crashes. However, seasoned traders see these events as opportunities to build a solid medium- or long-term portfolio and buy their preferred coins at a lower price.

Let’s figure out how much you need to invest in XRP now to become a millionaire during the next bull run.

Prospects For Ripple

Based in California, Ripple is aiming to make money transfers easier, cheaper, and faster. According to the project’s official website, the startup’s solutions are currently available in over 50 countries worldwide.

The ecosystem includes several basic solutions and tools:

• XRP Ledger (XRPL)  – a decentralized public blockchain
• XRP is the native  token of XRPL
• RippleNet is the project’s global network that carries out the operations. Financial organizations that want to use startup tools to organize cross-border payments are joining it. 

The project was launched in 2012 by developers David Schwartz,  Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto. The author of the concept was programmer Ryan Fugger. He launched the decentralized payment system RipplePay.com in 2005, the ideas of which formed the basis of the startup.

In 2012, businessman Chris Larsen also joined the team and took over as CEO. Together, the team founded the company Ripple Labs, which is still responsible for developing the platform. In 2016, the CEO position was passed to Brad Garlinghouse.

At the end of December 2020, the SEC accused  Ripple of illegally selling securities in the form of XRP tokens. The company’s representatives disagreed with the characteristics the regulator gave to the cryptocurrency. 

As a result, a confrontation between the parties began. On July 13,  the SEC lost the Ripple case – the court ruled that the sale of XRP to retail investors doesn’t qualify as an offer of unregistered securities.

The asset currently ranks among the top five most capitalized cryptocurrencies with $8.02 billion.

How Much XRP Do You Need?

Some analysts believe that XRP can show tremendous growth and reach the five-digit mark. However, this scenario does not look very realistic, so we will rely on historical data to calculate the required number of tokens.

To calculate the amount of XRP you need to buy to become a millionaire when the price returns to its all-time high of $3.40, you can use the following formula:

XRP Quantity = Target Amount / Expected Future Price,

Where:

• Target amount: $1 million
• Expected future price – all-time high $3.40

Thus, to see a round sum of $1 million in your account, you need to purchase 294,117.65 XRP. At the current price of $0.51, the coins would be worth approximately $150,000.

However, it should be understood that the crypto market can be extremely volatile and subject to black swans. The calculations provided are based solely on current data and assumptions. Always adhere to risk and money management and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
