Crypto pundit SMQKE has shared a document highlighting why XRP\u2019s utility<\/a> will drive price appreciation in the new year. This follows a debate sparked by another pundit, Lewis Jackson, who argued that the altcoin\u2019s payment utility doesn\u2019t translate to higher prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How XRP\u2019s Utility Will Drive Future Price Appreciation<\/h2>\n

In an X post<\/a>, SMQKE shared a document that highlighted XRP\u2019s utility through Ripple\u2019s payment system. In line with this, he noted that this is further evidence that the token\u2019s utility will drive future price appreciation<\/a>. The pundit further remarked that XRP is designed to operate within the global payment infrastructure, a move that could widely boost its adoption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SMQKE also noted that Ripple integrates with existing systems to improve speed, cost, and settlement efficiency. As such, as financial institutions adopt the XRP Ledger (XRPL)<\/a>, the pundit stated that XRP will be used directly in payment flows. He then alluded to the document, which, from a payments perspective, he said, demonstrates how institutional settlement activity creates sustained demand for XRP. The pundit added that price appreciation is supported through real transaction flow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"XRP\"<\/p>\n

The document noted that when Ripple processes a transaction, 0.00001 XRP is removed from circulation. As such, they expect the altcoin\u2019s circulating supply to decline over time and its price to rise in the process due to a potential supply shock<\/a>. On the other hand, Lewis Jackson claims that XRP is simply recycled whenever institutions use Ripple\u2019s payment system for cross-border transactions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He declared that XRP\u2019s utility is unlikely to drive higher prices, as these institutions, including banks, do not need to hold a significant amount of XRP to process transactions on Ripple\u2019s payment system. This has sparked debate in the XRP community with another pundit, Apex Crypto, describing<\/a> these statements as \u201cdangerous junk\u201d that could mislead people, especially new community members.<\/p>\n

XRP Still At Risk Of Dropping Below $1<\/h2>\n

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has warned<\/a> that the XRP price is still at risk of dropping to as low as $0.80 amid debate over how the token\u2019s utility will drive price appreciation. He outlined reasons why this massive price decline is a possibility, including that the XRP Ledger\u2019s activity<\/a> has cooled significantly. Martinez noted that daily active addresses have fallen to around 38,500, indicating fading participation and interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the analyst stated that XRP whales<\/a> have turned into sellers, offloading over 40 million coins in recent days. He added that if the selling pressure continues, the altcoin risks losing the $1.77 support level, with a breakdown opening the door to the next major support near $0.80.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.85, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data<\/a> from CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n
