Financial commentator Patrick Bet-David says the XRP price can rise to $1,000 per token if manages to snag a portion of SWIFT’s transaction volume. Only 5% of SWIFT’s volume will see token prices soaring to $100 with Bet-David highlighting potential stumbling blocks.
According to Bet-David, XRP has a chance to reach the $1,000 mark after a lengthy period in the doldrums. To achieve the milestone, the financial commentator disclosed that XRP will have to match SWIFT’s transaction volume but even a slice will send prices rallying.
SWIFT, a global payments processing platform, processes $5 trillion daily or $1.24 quadrillion annually. Bet-David argues that the XRP price can reach $100 if the XRP Ledger can handle between 5%-10% of SWIFT’s daily volume. Per the analyst, the ledger will have to process $125 million annually to reach 10% of SWIFT’s transaction volume.
In order to reach $1,000 per token, the XRP Ledger has to fully match the entirety of SWIFT’s transaction volume. At the moment, the XRP Ledger only handles a fraction of the volume but rising institutional adoption sees it inch forward.
Stablecoins on the ledger like RLUSD are tipped to lead the charge to grab a portion of SWIFT’s daily transaction volumes. There is growing enthusiasm that XRP can be the cornerstone of US financial policy as it turns toward stablecoin adoption. For Bet-David, a jolt will come in the form of an SEC case dismissal, setting it up for borader institutional investment.
“Analysts estimate that a $10 trillion market cap could push XRP’s price to $100 per token, with full replacement potentially driving it to $1,000,” said Bet-David.
XRP price is trading at $2.20 climbing by an impressive 6% over a 24-hour period. The recovery follows a week marred by declining values and rising whale activity in the ecosystem.
Despiute the small rally over the day, XRP has lost over 10% in the last seven days, sparking fears that XRP has topped in this cycle. Despite the decline, the network has a streak of positives going on for it as a silver lining for investors.
XRP active addresses surged to 1.15 million in the middle of a steep market correction, signaling a market frenzy. In upbeat XRP news, Franklin Templeton has filed for an XRP ETF, accentuating a wave of positivity for the beleagured network.
In conservative fashion, market expert Dark Defender says XRP can hit $280 by 2027 if the 2017 bull run repeats itself.

The post Bitcoin Flashes Signs of $100K Retest: Can BTC Price Meet Buying Demand? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
After dropping due to Donald Trump’s tariff plans, which caused an intense market sell-off, Bitcoin is making a strong comeback. It’s now approaching $100,000, its highest level since late February. But fears of a recession could slow down this momentum unless the U.S. and China start talking about tariffs soon. Additionally, the mixed on-chain signals might increase volatility for the $100K level.
How the tariff talks go could play a big role in whether the economy heads into a recession and in where Bitcoin’s price goes next. Many experts are hoping that trade discussions in May will help calm economic worries. Still, Bitcoin might keep rising even if a recession hits. In the past 24 hours, around $34 million in Bitcoin trades were closed out. Buyers ended $8.5 million in positions, while sellers had to close $25.4 million in bets against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is getting close to retesting the $100K mark as investor confidence grows. In the last two weeks of April, large investors bought around $4 billion worth of Bitcoin. At the same time, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw strong inflows, with over $3.2 billion entering the market last week. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF alone brought in nearly $1.5 billion, its biggest weekly gain this year.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s netflow is currently negative by $39.79 million, meaning more Bitcoin is being moved out of exchanges than into them. This suggests that more investors are choosing to store their Bitcoin in private wallets instead of keeping it on exchanges. It’s a sign that people are holding onto their coins, which can reduce selling pressure and support Bitcoin’s recovery.
However, Bitcoin risks a “notable increase” in selling pressure around $100K. Glassnode warns that if Bitcoin’s price keeps rising, long-term holders might start selling. Their profits are now close to 350%, a level where they’ve typically sold in the past. If Bitcoin crosses $100K, it could trigger a wave of selling from these older investors.
Buyers are breaking through Fib levels and they continue to hold the price above EMA trend lines. Bears are now defending any further surges above $98K as BTC faced a rejection recently. As of writing, BTC price trades at $97,182, surging over 0.7% in the last 24 hours.
The rising 20-day moving average at $96,892 and a strong RSI suggest Bitcoin still has room to move higher. If it breaks above $99,500, the price could quickly jump to the key $100,000 level. Sellers will likely put up a strong fight there, but if buyers succeed, Bitcoin might climb to around $103,000.

On the flip side, sellers may try to drag the price back to the 20-day moving average, which is an important support level. If Bitcoin bounces there, the uptrend stays strong. But if it drops below, it could fall further toward the 50-day average at $92.8K.
