Tradeship University Founder Predicts When XRP Will Be Number 1
Cameron Scrubs, founder of Tradeship University, has joined the growing list of pundits making ambitious predictions about XRP future.
In a post on X, Scrubs declared that XRP will overtake both Bitcoin and Ethereum to become the world’s number-one cryptocurrency by market capitalization by 2030. “Bitcoin and Ethereum will be second to XRP,” he said.
In other words, Scrubs is forecasting a future where XRP’s dominance in the crypto market rises dramatically from its current 4.4% level to one that surpasses the level Bitcoin holds (nearly 60% today). He sees this happening as early as the end of this decade, less than five years from now.
However, this scenario assumes XRP continues to soar while Bitcoin remains stagnant, which is an unrealistic outlook.
In fact, numerous leaders in the crypto industry — including founders of Coinbase, Cardano, BitMex, and Telegram — have all predicted Bitcoin could climb toward $1 million by 2030.
At such a price, Bitcoin’s market cap could exceed $20 trillion by 2030, making an XRP “flippening” even more difficult. For XRP to then rise to this $20 trillion market cap, its price would need to exceed $335.
Interestingly, not many in the crypto industry — even among the XRP Army — believe XRP could hit this level within five years.
Competing Narratives
Meanwhile, Scrubs’ prediction echoes earlier bold calls from XRP commentator Coach JV, who also envisions XRP surpassing Bitcoin within the decade.
On the other hand, crypto influencer Ben Armstrong (BitBoy) frames the debate differently, asking what it really means for XRP to be “the next Bitcoin.”
While XRP excels in speed and efficiency, Armstrong highlights decentralization as Bitcoin’s defining edge. Ripple’s large holdings, which account for over 40% of XRP’s supply, fuel ongoing concerns about centralization.
In other words, while BitBoy sees XRP in a much better position by 2030 compared to its current $2.97 level, he believes Bitcoin will continue to maintain the lead in market cap, though XRP may catch up closely.
Catalysts That Could Change the Game for XRP
Despite these challenges, proponents argue that XRP’s future adoption by banks and institutions could support a price surge. With transaction speeds as fast as 7 seconds, they see XRP transforming cross-border settlements.
Moreover, upcoming milestones such as a Ripple IPO and the launch of XRP ETFs are also among the catalysts that could help narrow the gap between XRP and its rivals.
