XRP's Price-to-Sales Ratio Surpasses Nvidia's by Almost Double
In the realm of trading, the XRP (XRP) token boasts a price-to-sales ratio nearly twice that of Nvidia, a heavyweight in the market. XRP's ratio stands at 61.689, contrasting with Nvidia's ratio of 37. This metric, derived by dividing a company's market capitalization by its revenue over the past year, serves as a gauge of investment allure, with lower ratios indicating greater attractiveness.
According to Messari, Ripple's XRP ledger generated network fees surpassing $583,000 in 2023. In stark contrast, Nvidia recorded revenue totaling $26.97 billion during the same period, as reported in its fiscal report for 2023.
As of the latest data from CoinMarketCap, the XRP token saw a modest 0.15% uptick in the 24-hour period up to 10:30 am UTC, reaching $0.6205, with a market capitalization of $34 billion. Meanwhile, Nvidia shares (NVDA) experienced a 0.49% decline in pre-market trading, settling at $898.25, per Yahoo Finance.
Nvidia commands a formidable presence as the world's largest semiconductor chip manufacturer and ranks as the third-largest company globally, boasting a market capitalization of $2.25 trillion. The company reported an impressive 265% year-on-year revenue surge, propelled by heightened global demand for AI equipment.
Over the past year, XRP's price surged by 20.55%, while Nvidia's shares skyrocketed by over 241%, largely fueled by the escalating global demand for semiconductor chips, integral components in advanced AI models.
Despite XRP's potential, its price has encountered substantial headwinds since December 2020, following a lawsuit by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Ripple, CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and co-founder Chris Larsen. The SEC alleged that Ripple unlawfully raised $1.3 billion through unregistered securities offerings via XRP token sales.
The legal saga intensified in July 2023 when Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP did not qualify as a security, albeit solely concerning programmatic sales on digital asset .
