Should You Buy XRP (Ripple) While It's Under $2.50? A Wall Street Analyst Says It Could Soar 150%
Geoff Kendrick at Standard Chartered thinks XRP will overtake Ethereum in terms of market value by 2028, implying nearly 150% upside in XRP at current prices. Guggenheim recently launched digital commercial paper on the XPR Ledger, a move that could make the blockchain a larger player in the tokenized assets market. The potential approval of spot XRP ETFs could unlock demand for the cryptocurrency among retail and institutional investors, driving its price higher. 10 stocks we like better than XRP › XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has advanced 13% year to date. It currently trades at $2.30 and has a market value of $135 billion as of June 10. But at least one Wall Street analyst thinks the cryptocurrency will be worth much more in three years. Geoff Kendrick at Standard Chartered recently predicted XRP would overtake Ethereum by 2028. To put that in context, Ethereum currently has a market value of $335 billion, so XRP must increase nearly 150% to reach the same level. That would bring its price to $5.70. Here's what investors should know. XRP is the native digital asset on the XRP Ledger, the blockchain developed by technology company Ripple to simplify cross-border transactions. Traditionally, banks have used the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications) system to move money across borders, but transactions can be expensive and costly. The XRP Ledger is a faster and cheaper alternative to SWIFT. Ripple Payments lets financial institutions use the blockchain (with XRP as a bridge currency) to send cross-border payments. If banks and payment service providers adopt Ripple products, demand for XRP will increase and the token could become more valuable. However, the particular tailwind will likely be modest at best. In my opinion, the more likely catalyst is increased capital inflows as more retail investors and institutional investors buy the cryptocurrency for their portfolios. Asset manager Guggenheim recently tapped the XRP Ledger to issue digital commercial paper, a fixed-income asset backed by U.S. Treasuries. The XRP Ledger currently accounts for a small percentage of tokenized real-world assets -- which are forecast to hit $19 trillion by 2033 -- but the addition of tokenized debt to the platform is a positive development that could lead to more transactions on the network. However, not many financial institutions use XRP as a bridge currency, and I doubt that will change. Price volatility makes cryptocurrency a risky way to move money. Ripple has addressed that problem by creating a stablecoin called Ripple USD. Yet, while payments made in Ripple USD incur transaction fees denominated in XRP, those fees are small and the incremental demand for the cryptocurrency is negligible. For that reason, financial institutions using Ripple Payments are unlikely to be a material catalyst for XRP. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the largest derivatives marketplace in the United States, introduced XRP futures trading in May. Meanwhile, a few asset managers have rolled out XRP futures ETFs. Both create new ways for investors to trade XRP, but the most important potential catalyst is the pending approval of several applications for spot XRP ETFs. Spot XRP ETFs would own the crytocurrency and track its price, rather than trading futures contracts. In other words, spot XRP ETFs would give investors direct exposure to the cryptocurrency through traditional brokerage accounts, without the high fees associated with cryptocurrency exchanges. By reducing friction, spot ETFs could unlock demand among retail and institutional investors. Indeed, Bitcoin's price has skyrocketed 136% since spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January 2024. I think approval of spot XRP ETFs could lead to similar price appreciation, such that XRP could potentially overtake Ethereum by 2028. That makes XRP a compelling investment option. That said, I would rather own a spot XRP ETF than the cryptocurrency, so I plan to wait until those investment vehicles win SEC approval.

American Electric to recover $1.5B from insurers
AerCap Holdings has announced that in a judgment the Commercial Court in London found that its subsidiary, AerCap Ireland Limited, is entitled to recover its claim for an indemnity of approximately $1B from the insurers under the 'War and Allied Perils' Coverage section of its contingent and possessed insurance policy. This award is in respect of the aircraft and engines which AerCap and its affiliates formerly leased to Russian airlines and were not recovered from Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The indemnity amount is due to be paid by July 2. All questions of interest and costs are adjourned to a further hearing to be fixed in September. In 2022, the company recognized a pre-tax net charge of $2.7B to earnings, which included a total loss write-off with respect to the assets which remained in Russia and Ukraine and impairment losses with respect to the assets which we had recovered from Russia and Ukraine at that time. Following recoveries of $1.3B in 2023 and $195M in 2024, this indemnity award will bring AerCap's total pre-tax recoveries relating to the Ukraine conflict to approximately $2.5B. The claims against insurers and reinsurers of the Russian airlines' insurance policies in respect of a number of these assets remain ongoing in the Commercial Court in London and we intend to continue to vigorously pursue those claims. However, the collection, timing and amount of any potential further recoveries in respect of those claims are uncertain.
