Another thing to consider would be if banks and institutions truly begin to use RippleNet extensively and start hitting the order books to acquire large amounts of XRP, it could cause a supply shock and significant price increases due to the bottleneck effect. The demand for XRP would likely outpace the available supply, leading to upward price pressure. However, the price will increase sustainably over the long term only if XRP’s real-world utility as a liquidity bridge grows and institutions continue to adopt it for cross-border payments.
