Monero (XMR) $39k and XRP $0.004 in 10 Years?
The privacy centered cryptocurrency of Moner0 (XMR) might be valued at $39,584 in 10 years: an increment of 33,000% from XMR’s current value of approximately $120. This is according to a new report from initial coin offering advisory and research firm of Satis Group. The report tries to forecast the values of our favorite digital assets in the next 10 years. According to the same report, XRP will be valued at $0.004 by 2028 signifying a drop in value of 98.8% from current values of $0.34.
A summary of the findings can be found in the table below from the report.

The valuation of the cryptocurrencies was based on the following three models:
- Top Down: using the quantity theory of money to deduce the value of crypto assets needed to support a forecasted economy
- Peer-Based: using multiples of network-specific metrics to arrive at relative valuations
- Bottom-Up: using discounted cash flow models to estimate the value of networks that provide yield
The key takeaways from the report are also as follows:
- The amount of cryptocurrency market value needed to support economic activities to expand from ~$500B next year to $3.6T in 2028
- 90%+ of cryptocurrency value will be derived from penetration of offshore deposits in the next decade
- Currency and Privacy networks will be the largest beneficiaries, as most fundamental value will stem from store of value use cases
- Increment (10 years) in Bitcoin ($143k), Monero ($39k), and Decred ($899): cryptocurrencies which apply unique value propositions within deep and viral markets
- A decrease in value in in BCH ($180), and cryptocurrencies which attempt to inherit brand recognition and provide minimal technological advantage to incumbents
- Almost no value in XRP ($0.004), and cryptocurrencies which are misleadingly marketed, not needed within their own network, and have centralized ownership/validation
- Most “Other Utility” application-specific networks hold very little value, in their current construct
Privacy will Dominate
From the report, we find that crypto users will value the privacy element of the cryptocurrencies around to further boost the value of the digital assets. This can be found in the predicted gains of privacy coins in 10 years from the table below that also stems from the report.

A Rush to Buy Monero (XMR) and other Privacy Coins
Once the report was made public on the 30th of August, Moner0 (XMR) has risen in value from $96 to current levels of $122 at the moment of writing this. This is a 27% increment in value in less than a week. DASH has also risen 19.5% from $174 to current values of $208 in the same time period.
Looking at other privacy coins of Bytecoin (BCN), ZCash (ZEC) and Verge (XVG), there has been similar upward movement since the 30th of August. ZEC is up from $144 to current values of $152: a percentage increase of 5.55%. BCN has also experienced a growth of 30% from $0.0019 on the 30th of August to current levels of $0.00246. XVG has also had some life pumped into its value and by 31% since the report came out.
In conclusion, for short term and long term investment, privacy coins have proven that they will gain the most when compared with other cryptocurrencies in the markets. Monero (XMR) has been projected to lead the pack in terms of gains for the next 10 years. On the other hand, XRP is headed for a decline of over 98% in the next 10 years further putting the case for total capitulation by XRP HODLers.

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.
Cited figures provided by DeFi aggregator DeFiLlama…
Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
