Black Swan Capitalist: XRP Belongs in 100s of Thousands of Dollars per Token. Here’s why

Versan Aljarrah explained why he believes XRP could eventually trade in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per token if it becomes the foundation of a global digital settlement system.

Rather than presenting what he described as a traditional price prediction, Aljarrah said his analysis focuses on the structural requirements needed for large-scale financial settlement in a tokenized economy.

Aljarrah began by comparing XRP’s potential role in digital finance to the historical rise of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. According to him, the dollar gained global dominance because value and settlement activity concentrated around it.

He argued that a similar process is taking shape in the emerging digital economy, where liquidity and settlement efficiency will become increasingly important.

Aljarrah stated that “the same concentration of value that lifted the dollar is happening around XRP.” He added that if XRP is expected to function as “the backbone of global reserve settlement at scale,” the asset would need to trade at a significantly higher valuation to process massive amounts of liquidity without creating friction in the system.

I never give price predictions. I focus on explaining the mechanics of how certain price levels become structurally necessary.

The US dollar became the world’s reserve currency because all the value needed for final settlement concentrated around it. That’s a fact.

Tokenization and Settlement Mathematics

Aljarrah expanded on these ideas in an attached video, where he discussed the scale of value that could eventually move onto blockchain networks through tokenization. He cited figures up to the quadrillions and argued that the transition of financial systems and real-world assets into digital form changes how XRP should be valued.

According to Aljarrah, many critics reject the possibility of extremely high XRP valuations because they are “measuring it incorrectly.” He claimed the mathematics behind his argument becomes clearer when multiple economic forces are considered together, including tokenized assets, liquidity requirements, digital identities, and cross-border settlement demands.

In the video, he described tokenization as the digital representation of virtually any asset or data set. He pointed to examples such as currencies, gold, phones, health records, and personal identity systems.

Aljarrah argued that once these forms of value are digitized and interconnected, a neutral bridge asset would need sufficient value to facilitate efficient settlement between them.

He said this is why he believes XRP could eventually trade in the “hundreds of thousands of dollars.” According to Aljarrah, a neutral reserve settlement asset operating in a global digital economy must be capable of absorbing and transferring enormous amounts of value at any given time.

Focus on Infrastructure Rather Than Short-Term Targets

Throughout the X post and video, Aljarrah emphasized that he does not focus on short-term price targets. Instead, he framed his argument around infrastructure, liquidity mechanics, and adoption trends tied to digital finance.

He stated that when factors such as tokenized asset flows, settlement mathematics, infrastructure growth, and adoption trajectories are considered together, XRP’s long-term valuation potential becomes much larger than many investors currently expect. Aljarrah also noted that although he had not publicly shared this view in a long time, he said he had “always known it.”
