A leaked footage shared by Crypto analyst Don Digital Finance highlights two catalysts from a theorized pricing model that could trigger a massive price surge for XRP. Meanwhile, other experts are focusing more on <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/not-just-crypto-research-says-xrp-is-moving-into-bank-grade-payment-infrastructure\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">XRP\u2019s payment rails and utility<\/a>, predicting a price rally to $3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While most XRP price projections in the market are often based on speculation and hype, the leaked model treats the cryptocurrency as <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-mastercard-jpmorgan-xrp\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">a functional tool for banks and institutions<\/a>. This means that a higher XRP price is required or even mandated for the system to remain efficient.<\/p>\n<h2>Leaked Model Predicts XRP Price Rally Between $5 and $4,300<\/h2>\n<p>In a post on X, Don Digital Finance legitimate pricing models for XRP that suggest a valuation range starting from $5 to $4,300.<\/p>\n<p>These pricing models primarily focus on XRP\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-institutional-adoption-ripple\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">institutional adoption<\/a> and velocity, which measures how many times it is used within a specific period. Explaining the theory governing the model, Don Digital Finance said that if the XRP network <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/is-xrp-poised-to-replace-swift\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">settles trillions of dollars in global payments<\/a>, the speed of these transfers would dictate how many tokens must be available at any given second.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, when institutions move large sums of money, they need deep liquidity to prevent the price from swinging wildly during a single trade. This suggests that if <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/why-xrp-keeps-crashing\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">XRP\u2019s price remains low<\/a>, banks would need to move a massive number of tokens to settle a single multi-billion-dollar payment. This strategy would create a huge functional problem because there are not enough tokens in circulation to support that volume of wealth at a low price point.<\/p>\n<p>However, Gilbertie\u2019s mathematical models suggest that for XRP to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/stop-analyzing-xrp-on-a-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">handle massive institutional flows<\/a>, the price needs to be high enough for the existing supply to cover all transactions. A higher price means global banks can use fewer coins to transfer very large amounts of money. According to his calculations, the required price for this system to work is between $5 to $4,300.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Analyst Projects XRP Surge To $3 Then Higher<\/h2>\n<p>In a separate X post, market expert XRP Queen <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/crypto_queen_x\/status\/2052447285863436372?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">stated<\/a> that XRP is positioning for a significant breakout. She predicts that the cryptocurrency could first reach its <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-set-to-continue-uptrend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">2018 all-time high of $3.84<\/a>, then ultimately target an ambitious $227.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-895177\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/XRP-chart-from-XRP-Queen.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C311\" alt=\"XRP\" width=\"512\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to XRP Queen, the catalyst behind this rally is XRP&#8217;s growing role as a global payment asset.
