A prediction has emerged that Ripple will dominate the global payment and banking infrastructure market by 2040, growing into a giant corporation like Amazon.

According to a Bitcoinist report on April 18 (local time), crypto analyst Tony Spilotro highlighted Ripple's future value, citing an analysis by analyst Jake Claver. Claver expressed conviction that Ripple will become the dominant force in the global payment market within the next 15 years. The argument is that Ripple will go beyond being a mere virtual asset to become a Goliath forming the foundation of the financial system and the Amazon of banking infrastructure.

The foundation of this long-term vision lies in Ripple's recent strategic corporate acquisitions. Claver presented Ripple's acquisition of GTreasury, a cash management platform, as a key piece of evidence. Ripple is not merely relying on the rise in XRP price but is focused on building a robust infrastructure that operates behind the scenes of the global financial system. Business expansion through mergers and acquisitions lays the groundwork for Ripple to become a major payment company.

Groundbreaking changes are also appearing in terms of the usability of virtual assets. Claver noted that financial products are being developed that allow investors to generate profits without selling XRP. The structure of providing XRP as collateral and earning profits eliminates the need for investors to choose between securing liquidity and long-term holding. This helps distribute selling pressure and preserve the long-term value of the asset.

The analysis also included price targets and investor behavior, which are of keen market interest. Currently, approximately 250,000 investors worldwide hold more than 3,000 XRP. Claver believes that if the XRP price reaches $10, a significant number of investors will secure life-changing funds. Accordingly, it is expected that 30% to 50% of high-net-worth holders will sell a portion of their holdings, but this was evaluated as an extremely rational investment decision.

Ripple's path to success depends on its actual infrastructure competitiveness, beyond the virtual asset craze. The scenario presented by Claver has a high possibility of materializing before 2040. Ripple is quietly taking over the core of the global financial network, and its current aggressive investments are the foundation for future success. As the center of future finance shifts to Ripple, the landscape of existing payment systems is expected to be completely reshaped.
