Crypto pundit Amonyx has stirred market debate with his bold assertion that XRP will make more millionaires than Bitcoin ever did. His statement, shared on X, challenged the crypto community to “bookmark this tweet,” signaling his conviction that XRP’s long-term potential will eclipse Bitcoin’s wealth-creation record.
XRP’s Millionaire Potential Sparks Debate
The remark quickly reignited an old discussion within the XRP community about the token’s potential to generate life-changing returns. Over the years, many XRP holders have maintained that the asset’s utility in global payments and liquidity solutions positions it for massive future growth.
In contrast, Bitcoin’s success is already well-established. From trading below $0.05 in 2010 to exceeding $126,000 in 2025, Bitcoin has produced an astonishing 252,000,000% return for its earliest investors. The network’s meteoric rise has created thousands of millionaires and several billionaires, reinforcing its dominance as crypto’s top wealth generator.
Adding to that legacy, one of Bitcoin’s oldest wallets recently reactivated after 14 years, moving 150 BTC worth approximately $16.6 million from a stash of 4,000 BTC now valued at around $446 million.
XRP Faces an Uphill Battle for Parity
For XRP to surpass Bitcoin’s record, the price would need to rise dramatically. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $2.40, down 2.25% over the past 24 hours. To generate millionaire-level returns comparable to Bitcoin’s early run, XRP would have to exceed $10,000 per token.
At that level, investors who bought around $0.005 in 2017 would see returns of 199,999,900%. However, such a valuation would imply a market capitalization above $600 trillion, given XRP’s circulating supply of about 60 billion tokens, a figure far surpassing global wealth estimates.
Comparing Supply, Scarcity, and Market Dynamics
Bitcoin’s appeal stems largely from its built-in scarcity. With a capped supply of 21 million coins, only 19.94 million are currently in circulation, driving scarcity-based value as demand increases. XRP, on the other hand, was pre-minted, with most of its 100 billion token supply distributed to Ripple and early investors.
Its value narrative depends less on scarcity and more on utility in global settlements, institutional integration, and regulatory clarity. Additionally, the ongoing anticipation surrounding spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could, in theory, boost long-term investor confidence.
Yet, even strong ecosystem growth may not justify trillion-dollar valuations. While Bitcoin’s current $2.08 trillion market cap rivals that of global tech giants like Apple or Alphabet, XRP would need to redefine the boundaries of financial value creation to reach similar heights.
