The argument for $XLM # outperforming $XRP usually comes down to valuation and supply dynamics, but supply alone doesn't determine price or market cap.
Current Comparison
XRP: ~100 billion total supply
Stellar Lumens: ~30 billion circulating supply
A lower supply can make it easier for a coin to reach a higher price per coin, but market cap = price × circulating supply.
For example:
If XLM reaches $1, its market cap would be roughly $30 billion.
If XRP is $1.18 withSpotGoldDropsOver$40 ~100 billion supply, its market cap would be around $118 billion.
So XLM can hit $1 before XRP reaches a much higher price, but surpassing XRP in market cap would require significantly more capital flowing into XLM than just reaching $1.
Bull Case for XLM
