David Schwartz, former CTO of Ripple, recently shared insights on XRP’s price trajectory and the market’s recognition of its utility.

Crypto commentator Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto) drew attention to Schwartz’s comments, which reveal both historical perspective and current thinking on the token’s potential. They also illustrate the vast growth XRP has achieved since its early days.

XRP Can’t Be Dirt Cheap

In 2017, Schwartz addressed the perception of XRP pricing in a post on X. He noted, “It can’t be dirt cheap. That doesn’t make any sense.” He explained that if XRP were priced at $1, acquiring a million XRP would cost $1 million.

Conversely, if XRP cost $1 million, purchasing a single token would also cost $1 million. This statement highlighted the difficulty of defining XRP’s value solely on price rather than utility and market adoption.

Personal Experience and Market Milestones

Schwartz entered his XRP position at $0.006. He recently revealed that he began selling at $0.10, surprised by how quickly the price had grown. Despite the rapid gains, he remarked on the market’s perception of value at that time. He stated in a post from January, “When XRP was $0.006, a price of $0.25 felt about as ridiculous as $100 does today.”

Schwartz earlier said that nobody believed XRP would reach $0.25. He even described a $0.25 party held by early supporters, joking about how seemingly impossible it was to reach $1.

These remarks show XRP’s ability to outperform expectations. His experience demonstrates how early positioning in XRP provided significant gains for those who recognized its function within Ripple’s network and the broader financial ecosystem.

XRP’s Potential

Today, Schwartz observes that many people still regard XRP prices of $10 or $100 as unrealistic. He stated that $0.25 seemed just as impossible as $100 seems today. However, XRP has surpassed that level by a large margin. Xaif emphasized that the relevant question is not whether the asset can reach those high targets, but rather when the market will fully price in its utility.

Schwartz’s insights illustrate the token’s limitless growth potential. The market skepticism surrounding the $100 price target mirrors past trends. While many doubted XRP, it eventually surpassed expectations.

Market participants like Xaif believe it can repeat this pattern and hit the $100 target. They see XRP as a token with substantial upside that is not fully reflected in current market valuations.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
