A video clip of Sal Gilbertie, CIO and CEO of Teucrium, is circulating on X after crypto news account Crypto Dyl News (@cryptodylnews) posted footage of him discussing XRP valuation models.

Gilbertie references a 22-page internal paper his analysts produced. The paper has not gone public yet. In it, analysts examined what Gilbertie calls “all the legitimate pricing models for XRP” and arrived at a range of $5 to $4,300 per coin.

Velocity Is the Key Variable

Gilbertie centers the analysis on a concept called velocity. In the context of XRP, velocity refers to how many times a single coin is used in transactions within a given period. He breaks the model down with specific questions: how long does each transaction take to settle, how many transactions can occur per minute at that speed, and can that rate sustain itself around the clock?

These inputs determine how much XRP the system actually requires at any given moment. The total supply needed to support transaction volume at scale directly influences what price the asset must reach to function efficiently. Notably, former Ripple CTO David Schwartz has presented a similar argument for why XRP cannot remain cheap.

Institutional Cross-Border Payments Drive the Thesis

The use case Gilbertie focuses on is institutional cross-border payments. This is where XRP’s design has the most direct application. Large financial institutions moving capital across borders face friction, delays, and liquidity costs with traditional systems. XRP offers a faster settlement layer.

The pricing models in the unpublished paper treat XRP not as a speculative asset but as a functional instrument. Its price becomes a variable that institutions and the market must calibrate to make the system work, and low prices make it inefficient.

What the $4,300 Figure Represents

The $4,300 figure is the high end of the modeled range. It represents a scenario in which XRP adoption reaches a scale where demands push the required price. At that scale, banks and financial institutions will require much higher prices. Gilbertie is clear that the range exists because the outcome depends on “your timing and your use case.”

Crypto Dyl News called out critics who doubt XRP and claim its market cap will limit its growth. These numbers suggest that XRP can grow to meet demand from banks and debunk claims that the market cap can constrain XRP. Gilbertie believes the answers to the velocity questions will happen over time.
