Phil Kwok, a guest lecturer at Cambridge University and co-founder of EasyA, discussed the factors that could determine the rise of the XRP price. He introduced a three-step framework that assesses blockchain ecosystems based on supply, demand, and supply shocks. Kwok highlighted that XRP has a fixed supply of 100 billion tokens, making it deflationary. However, he noted that Ripple holds the majority of tokens and periodically releases them, creating selling pressure. Kwok emphasized that demand is crucial for a token's value and explained that XRP's demand stems from its utility within the XRP Ledger, particularly in cross-border payments. He also mentioned the potential impact of supply shocks on token value and pointed out new developments that could create similar effects for XRP. Kwok concluded that if demand increases, especially with institutional adoption, and if XRP experiences supply shocks, the price could rise further. However, he did not provide direct price predictions.
