XRP To Topple Bitcoin and Ethereum by 2030, Analyst Says

  • Cameron Scrubs says XRP could surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum by 2030.
  • XRP would need $335 to match Bitcoin’s projected $20T valuation.
  • Ripple’s 40% supply holdings fuel ongoing centralization concerns.

Cameron Scrubs, founder of Tradeship University, said this week that XRP could surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum by 2030 to become the market’s top cryptocurrency. Writing on X, Scrubs claimed: “Bitcoin and Ethereum will be second to XRP,” betting XRP’s market share will soar from its current 4.4%.

That call implies a flippening of Bitcoin’s 60% dominance, something that would reshape the crypto market in less than five years.

Why XRP Would Need $335 to Catch Bitcoin

For XRP to rival Bitcoin’s projected $20 trillion value by 2030, its price would have to push past $335. That math comes from Bitcoin’s own forecast path toward $1 million a coin, a view shared by analysts tied to Coinbase, Cardano, BitMex, and Telegram.

Traders called the $335 mark a long shot, but it has fueled debate on whether XRP can scale fast enough if adoption accelerates.

Ripple’s XRP Holdings Keep Centralization Concerns Alive

Not all analysts are buying Scrubs’ bullish take. Influencer Ben Armstrong (BitBoy) argued Bitcoin’s decentralization is still unmatched and warned that Ripple’s grip on 40% of XRP’s supply makes it hard to see XRP overtaking BTC or ETH.

Others agreed XRP could gain ground, but stressed that centralization risk remains its biggest overhang.

XRP Price Action and Market Stats

At the time of writing, XRP traded at $2.98, showing a 1.59% daily gain. Its market capitalization reached $178.82 billion, reflecting a 1.66% increase, while trading volume stood at $5.55 billion, marking a 12.71% decline from the prior day. 

Data showed 476,530 holders, with 99.98 billion tokens in circulation from a capped supply of 100 billion. The volume-to-market cap ratio measured 3.13%, signaling ongoing liquidity.

XRP Outlook: Big Calls, Bigger Doubts

Scrubs’ forecast adds fuel to the XRP debate. Supporters see room for XRP to play a larger role in global finance by 2030. Critics say catching Bitcoin will take more than adoption, it will take trillions in capital and a change in market trust.

For now, the market is treating the $335 call as one of the most ambitious bets in crypto.
