Solana shows strong long-term potential due to fast performance and growing blockchain adoption. XRP maintains a higher market value supported by payment-focused utility and regulatory clarity. Both tokens could shift positions by 2030, depending on real adoption, market trends, and gaming or NFT growth. XRP price is near $2.13 at press time, and its circulating market capitalisation is close to $128 billion. Solana price is hovering between $143 and $160, with a market capitalisation of about $103.8 billion based on early-November 2025 market data. These figures show that XRP currently holds a higher overall value in the market, even though each Solana token is priced far higher than each XRP token. The most important measure that will ensure complete value growth is market capitalization. Token price is misleading, given that different cryptocurrencies have very different circulating supplies. XRP has a huge circulating supply, whereas Solana's supply is much smaller. That's why its price per coin is so high, but in total market value, it still lags behind XRP. At the moment, XRP is still ahead in terms of total value, but Solana is close enough that a future shift is possible.
Original Title: Will Solana Be Worth More Than XRP by 2030?
The analysis contrasts two leading crypto assets by market cap and utility. Solana benefits from high throughput and expanding ecosystem, while XRP leverages regulatory clarity and established banking partnerships. Both could converge or diverge by 2030 based on adoption pace, macro trends, and ecosystem developments in areas like gaming and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). XRP’s current advantage in total market value stems from its larger circulating supply and ongoing use in payments, whereas Solana’s lower supply supports a higher price per unit, yet total value remains comparable but not dominant in comparison to XRP.
In the 2030 horizon, Solana could catch up to or surpass XRP in market capitalization if its ecosystem growth accelerates and regulatory conditions favor rapid adoption. XRP may retain a steadier value trajectory driven by payments use cases and clarity, but shifts in technology, regulation, or macro demand could tilt the balance.
