Analyst Diana said $XRP’s path to $50 depends on demand consistently outpacing supply

According to the latest market outlook shared by analyst Diana, the key driver for a potential rise in XRP toward the $50 mark is not regulatory developments, but rather whether demand will consistently surpass supply. Diana notes that the longstanding theme of legal uncertainty in the market has lost much of its influence, and that from now on, it is critical to see if new buyers can absorb the amount of XRP entering circulation.

Regulatory concerns take a back seat

For a long time, regulatory uncertainty was seen as the main obstacle facing XRP. The general expectation in the market was that greater legal clarity would boost institutional adoption and deliver a powerful upward effect on the price. However, Diana argues that this period is largely over, and that the primary challenge ahead now relates to how quickly the supply entering the market—driven by investor selling, releases from escrow, and profit-taking—can be matched or exceeded by new demand.

In Diana’s model, the growth process unfolds in three phases: Permission, Propulsion, and Premium. The first phase, Permission, focuses on institutional access. Key elements here include regulatory recognition, custody infrastructure, banking integration, compliance frameworks, and exchange-traded products.

According to Diana, XRP has already cleared several vital hurdles on this front. The analysis highlights recognition as a commodity by the CFTC, assets under management in spot XRP ETFs surpassing $1 billion, and preliminary greenlights from the OCC as notable milestones. Still, outstanding issues remain, including the lack of clarity on the CLARITY Act and the Federal Reserve master account.

Demand and utility take center stage for price trajectory

The second phase, Propulsion, hinges on direct capital inflows. Growth in ETFs, institutional accumulation, and capital rotation from other assets like Bitcoin play decisive roles in this stage. Diana suggests that, if a substantial portion of the circulating supply is withdrawn from the market and persistent demand on this scale emerges, it could support an XRP price range of $5 to $10.

Beyond investment-driven inflows, utility-driven demand is expected to come to the fore. Factors such as wider RLUSD adoption, increased activity on the XRP Ledger, corporate balance sheet demand, and rising transaction volumes could create the economic foundation for XRP to fluctuate in the $10 to $15 range.

Glossary: The XRP Ledger refers to the distributed ledger infrastructure underlying XRP’s operations. RLUSD is Ripple’s US dollar-pegged stablecoin initiative and is mentioned as one of the elements driving utility-driven demand in this report.

The most ambitious scenario: a jump to $15–$50

The final phase, Premium, presents the most ambitious outlook. In this scenario, for XRP to reach the $15 to $50 range, it would need to acquire a monetary premium similar to gold or Bitcoin, be recognized as a strategic reserve asset, firmly establish itself as a global liquidity solution, and become an integral component of international financial infrastructure.

According to CoinCodex data, XRP was trading at $1.07 when the report was released. Diana’s framework underscores that the future trajectory largely hinges on a single economic equilibrium: if market demand consistently and substantially exceeds the available supply, moving from the Permission to the Propulsion phase could mark the beginning of a new growth cycle for XRP.
