Understanding Large Caps vs Early-Stage Crypto
When people ask if XRP can reach $10, the key factor is market cap. Moving from around $1.40 to $10 would require hundreds of billions in additional capital. That kind of growth is possible, but it usually takes time because large assets need significant new money to move higher.
This is why many portfolios are structured by risk level. Large caps like BTC, ETH, or XRP are often used for relative stability, while a smaller portion may go into mid-caps or early-stage projects with higher upside potential — and higher risk.
Early projects can grow faster because they start from much smaller valuations. However, they also carry a much higher chance of failure. Position sizing and risk management matter more than chasing returns
A balanced approach isn’t about abandoning established assets — it’s about understanding scale, capital flows, and how different risk profiles fit into a long-term strategy
