Standard research, which in the next five years has placed a bold forecast that places XRP above Ethereum in market capitalization, emphasizing what it describes as a long -term price rally. Forecasts, made available by Geoffrey Kendrick, a global head of research on digital assets Standard Khartered, are mapping annual target levels for XRP, Bitcoin and Ethereum until 2029. They also point to a set of key coefficients measuring the relative XRP strength compared to its more established peers.
XRP, BTC and ETH price forecasts
In 2025, XRP is expected to reach USD 5.50, while it is forecasted that Bitcoin will enhance to USD 200,000 and Ethereum to 4000 USD. This puts the BTC-XRP ratio-the number of tokens equivalent to one bitcoin-about 39,500. Ethereum would be valued about 727 times more than XRP in the same year.
Passing to 2026, the target XRP jumps to USD 8.00, which is an enhance, and Bitcoin is to enhance to USD 300,000, and Ethereum to USD 5000. BTC-XRP and ETH-XRP relations will enhance and fall slightly, which suggests that although Bitcoin is still overtaking XRP in relative terms, XRP is gaining on Ethereum.
By 2027, XRP is expected to trade $ 10.40, Bitcoin each 400,000 USD, and Ethereum to 6000 USD. While the price of XRP almost doubles compared to level 2025, BTC-XRP and ETH-XRP relations (42,000 and 577, respectively) confirm the tightening of the gap, especially compared to Ethereum, where XRP has stronger relative performance.
In 2028, XRP will reach the peak in this forecast at USD 12.50. Bitcoin reaches USD 500,000, and Ethereum continues its line up to 7500 USD. Despite the growth of XRP, it still remains in the proportional Bitcoin increases, with the BTC-XRP factor to 43,000. However, the ETH-XRP ratio moves slightly higher to 600, signaling that Ethereum is starting to regain some land against XRP.
Interestingly, by 2029, Kendrick provides for a tiny decrease in XRP to USD 12.25. Meanwhile, the standard Khartered analyst predicts that Bitcoin will remain flat in the amount of USD 500,000, while Ethereum lasts at USD 7,500. In particular, the ETH-XRP ratio increases slightly to 612, and BTC-XRP to 44,500, which reflects the slight erosion of the relative XRP strength on the final section.
Despite this, compared to 2025, XRP ends the forecast period stronger in terms of relatively against Ethereum, as the ETH-XRP ratio from 727 to 612 shows.
XRP will reverse ethereum
Kendrick’s forecasting by XRP ahead of Ethereum in total market capitalization is one of the most attracting the report of the report. “At the end of 2028, we see that XRP market capitalization is ahead of Ethereum,” he said in message to the block.
Kendrick assigns this trajectory up the convergence of factors, including regulatory development, growing institutional reception and expanding cases of apply of tokenization. In particular, he cites the announcement of the General Director of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, that the American Commission for Securities and Exchange has abandoned a long -term appeal.
According to Kendrick, this result was anticipated after the attitude of the cordial cryptocurrency administration of Donald Trump, who, he claims, paved the way to a more favorable regulatory environment. He also expects SEC to approve ETF ETF XRP to Q3 2025, with a possible influx of up to $ 8 billion in the first year of the offer.
Kendrick claims that the fundamental usability of the token in cross -border and cross payments is in line with one of the fastest growing cases of apply in the space of digital assets. He notes that Stablecoin transactions volumes grew by about 50% each year, and if this enhance is reflected by XRP, the price of the token may constantly enhance in the coming years.
At the same time, Ripple goes deeper into tokenization efforts, including the development of tokenized funds on the US treasure account and own supported by USD Stablecoin, RLusd, which according to Kendrick can continue to strengthen the position of XRP. “Blockchain XRP, the Book of XRP, is a payment chain and can become a chain of toxization,” he said.
Despite these promising signs, Kendrick admits that the developer’s ecosystem remains relatively tiny compared to Ethereum economies and other main blocks, which can be a challenge for universal adoption. In addition, the structure of a token with a low word content, although an attractive payment function, may limit its ability to capture additional value from the apply of the network.
In particular, Kendrick has also recently published an positive note about the native Avalanche Avax token, anticipating that it could enhance to USD 250 by 2029. However, his perspective at Ethereum is less enthusiastic; He recently reduced its price 2025 by 60% to USD 4000 and described the ether as “identified loser”, while supporting Bitcoin and Avax as “identified winners”.
During the press, the XRP traded USD 1.807.
