Ethereum vs XRP

A comparison of Ethereum (ETH) and XRP (XRP) with today's market data.

What if Ethereum were worth as much as XRP?

If Ethereum had the market cap of XRP today ($80.9 B), spread across its 122,053,083 units in circulation, each one would be worth $662.61. That is 0.27 times its current price of $2,416.27.

And the other way round?

With the market cap of Ethereum ($294.3 B), each XRP would be worth $4.68: 3.63 times the $1.29 it trades at now.

This calculation is a rule of three on the circulating supply, not a projection and not a recommendation. Whether one coin reaches the market cap of another depends on adoption, future supply and real demand, none of which follows from today's price.

What these numbers say

  • Over the past 24 hours 5.77% of the market cap of Ethereum has been traded, against 6.14% for XRP. The higher that share, the more that coin's capital is moving relative to its size.
  • XRP has an issuance cap of 100,000,000,000 units; Ethereum does not. That is a difference of design, not of quality: a fixed cap limits dilution, and having none allows the security of the network to be funded over the long run.
