Here's a thought worth considering: what if XRP actually achieves mainstream adoption as a global bridge asset with real on-demand liquidity infrastructure? The market cap implications could be staggering. If institutional and retail players seriously route liquidity through XRP for cross-border settlements, we might see it challenge BTC's dominance in terms of pure market cap. The key variable isn't just hype—it's whether the actual use case materializes. Right now, it's conditional, but the scenario isn't implausible if adoption accelerates.

If XRP really becomes the global settlement infrastructure, I will accept it, but the key is whether banks will actually use it or not. Just talking about stories won't convince anyone.

ngl the whole "bridge asset" narrative feels like we're just reconstructing benjamin's mechanical reproduction thesis but for liquidity... the *actual* question isn't market cap theater, it's whether ripple's infrastructure becomes genuinely indispensable or stays performative

If XRP can truly become a bridge asset for cross-border settlements, then BTC will have to give way... But the key still depends on whether banks are truly willing to use it.
