- Thin liquidity enables massive XRP price jumps with minimal capital inflows
- Market cap multipliers reveal how $10B could drive XRP to an extreme $90
- Strategic buy pressure exposes XRP’s vulnerability to exponential surges
A new market cap multiplier model has sparked fresh discussion in the XRP community, suggesting a $10 billion buy order could push XRP’s price to an astonishing $90. This model emphasizes how thin liquidity and strategic buying pressure could ignite massive price spikes.
While still under development, the tool shows how a relatively small capital inflow might trigger exponential gains. It reinforces the long-held belief that XRP’s limited available supply at higher prices could drive sudden and steep increases under the right market conditions.
Liquidity Gaps Could Spark Steep Price Rallies
The market simulation, introduced by EasyA’s Phil Kwok, demonstrates how $10 billion in buy orders could consume sell-side liquidity up to $90. At the time of the test, XRP traded at $2.97 with a supply of 59.3 billion tokens. This placed its market cap around $176.1 billion.
Once the buy pressure kicked in, the price rose sharply, lifting XRP’s value to $90 and swelling the market cap to $5.3 trillion. This represented a multiplier of 516x, meaning every $1 million in capital injected created $516 million in new market cap.
This extraordinary multiplier effect stems from limited token availability at higher price points. The model steadily removed offers from $2.975 up to $90, revealing how easily large orders could overwhelm the market.
Hence, even modest buy pressure can trigger vertical movements if liquidity remains shallow. This finding aligns with long-term observations from market analysts who stress the importance of order book depth.

Real-World Data Supports the Model’s Accuracy
Market analyst Dom has long highlighted this dynamic. In a 2023 observation, he suggested just $1 billion could move XRP significantly if order book resistance remains weak. When XRP hit $2 last December, similar mechanics played out, driven by thin liquidity and aggressive buying.
Three months ago, Dom tracked a live example with $61 million in net purchases over 13 hours. This inflow added $16.6 billion to XRP’s market cap, yielding a multiplier of 272x.
He emphasized that market cap isn’t a simple reflection of total investment. It’s a function of liquidity and trading behavior. Most holders, expecting high future prices, often avoid selling further constraining supply.
