XRP is a topic of much discussion in the crypto community, with many debating whether it can reach $100 without massive liquidity infusions. Angel investor and crypto educator Armando Pantoja challenges this notion. In his view, smaller amounts of capital could be the catalyst for XRP’s price surge to its long-term target. Pantoja argues that market cap isn’t a measure of actual cash flow but rather the product of current price multiplied by supply. 10% growth in price, for example, would increase market cap significantly without necessarily requiring billions of dollars, according to Pantoja. He uses real estate as an analogy – a neighborhood with homes worth $500,000 suddenly sees value increase after one house sells for $1 million due to high demand. Similarly, in the XRP space, small buying pressure can drive prices up even if there’s limited cash influx. 20-30 billion dollars of buying pressure could trigger a market momentum that takes XRP past its previous highs. This is why Pantoja contends that traditional notions of liquidity need to be revised. He compares this phenomenon to real-world markets, where even small increases in demand can significantly impact prices and inflate the market cap. Pantoja’s analysis suggests that institutional interest could play a key role in this potential surge. As cross-border payments using blockchain technology gain traction, XRP’s real-world applications attract more attention from investors and analysts alike, creating the conditions for significant price movement.
