XRP group pundits speculate that the XRP value might clinch $1 million if a drop of XRP ever equals the worth of 1 RLUSD, the upcoming Ripple stablecoin.
These speculations emerged on the again of an try at satire by Vet, an outspoken dUNL validator on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). With Ripple confirming that the RLUSD stablecoin is barely weeks from launching, Vet just lately took to social media to humorously counsel that its worth equaling $1 could be a “massive” growth.
Being pegged to the greenback, the RLUSD is anticipated to be price $1 always. Vet’s sarcastic commentary was a satire depicting the way wherein some influencers in the neighborhood talk about extraordinary developments with tags as explosive information.
XRP’s 1 Million Drops
Apparently, Crypto Tank, an XRP group member and self-acclaimed researcher, jumped on this commentary to propagate theories of a attainable XRP value surge. Notably, XRP as a token is split into smaller models known as “drops,” very similar to Bitcoin has satoshis.
1 xrp has 1 million drops. As soon as XRP rises in value the drops will come into play in an enormous means. So if 1 RLUSD=$1 greenback, and 1 RLUSD is paired to 1 XRP drop sooner or later, then 1 XRP would = $1 million {dollars}. David was requested this however kinda dodged the query. It is 100% attainable

Every XRP token consists of 1 million drops. Prior to now, some areas of the XRP Ledger calculated XRP charges in models. Nonetheless, an modification from final 12 months fully modified this payment construction to drops, basically permitting all areas of charges to be calculated in drops of XRP, for simpler calculations.
Moreover calculating the payment construction on the XRPL, the XRP drop models not often make it to on a regular basis discussions. That is largely as a result of XRP’s low value, which stays under $1, as XRP presently trades for $0.5857. For context, the final time XRP noticed the $1 mark was in November 2021.
Crypto Tank believes when XRP value reaches better heights, presumably surpassing $1, market contributors would see a necessity to start out calculating XRP in models of drops.
1 XRP Drop Equaling 1 RLUSD
He then speculated that if, sooner or later, one drop of XRP equals the worth of 1 RLUSD, then that may translate to an XRP value of $1 million, seeing as there are 1 million drops in 1 XRP. Whereas Crypto Tank prompt that that is “100% attainable,” the hypothesis stays audacious.
In a subsequent remark, the group determine doubled down on his hypothesis. He agreed that RLUSD will at all times be $1, however argued that XRP’s value may very well be a lot larger sooner or later. In line with him, when XRP value turns into too excessive, most market contributors will resort to transferring drops as a substitute of 1 complete XRP.
It bears mentioning that XRP Healthcare’s Head of Social Adoption, Edward Farina, made related assertions again in March. Nonetheless, Farina by no means projected a attainable $1 million value for XRP. As a substitute, the Alpha Lions Academy CEO prompt that XRP might grow to be so unaffordable sooner or later that merchants must resort to transferring it in drops.
