Should l Buy XRP?

Proposed Role of XRP: Ripple executives emphasize that XRP is designed to enhance international settlement efficiency by reducing transaction delays and intermediaries through blockchain technology, thereby lowering operational costs and strengthening its competitive position in cross-border payments.
Scale of SWIFT Network: SWIFT processes over 40 million messages daily, with historical estimates suggesting a total daily transaction value of approximately $5 trillion, providing crucial context for XRP's potential market scale.
Hypothetical Model Analysis: If XRP were to facilitate 5% of SWIFT's transaction flows, that would equate to $250 billion in daily activity, potentially driving XRP's price up to $170 and market capitalization into the trillions.
Market Impact Assessment: While asset prices do not scale directly with transaction volume, XRP's limited participation in global settlement activities could still have significant implications for its long-term valuation, drawing market interest.
