Schwartz said XRP could surpass Bitcoin in market value, but only by growing faster on its own rather than from Bitcoin losing ground.
Reaching Bitcoin's current market cap would require XRP to hit roughly $25, more than 6 times its all-time high of $3.84.

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said on an X Spaces on September 9 that he expects XRP to eventually pass Bitcoin in market value, and he attached a condition to it. XRP trades at $1.36 and Bitcoin near $77,310 as of September 12.
