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
