XRP remains significantly behind Ethereum in market capitalization, despite a 700% surge in 2025 that fueled speculation of a potential "flippening." At its peak, XRP's market cap reached $210 billion, while Ethereum's soared to nearly $600 billion. Currently, XRP trades at $2.10 with a market cap of $127 billion, compared to Ethereum's $3,100 and $375 billion valuation. Analysts predict XRP could reach $6 by 2027, with some forecasts suggesting a $10 valuation. However, for XRP to rival Ethereum's current market cap, it would need a 217% increase, reaching $6.66. Long-term predictions for 2030 suggest Ethereum could hit $14,673, while XRP might reach $16.24, still trailing Ethereum's projected $1.76 trillion market cap. Despite optimistic forecasts, XRP's independent price surges are rare, and its growth often mirrors larger cap assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The path to surpassing Ethereum remains challenging, with no clear timeline for a potential flippening.
