 Schwartz Says His “XRP Can’t be Dirt Cheap” Comment Came from a Payment PoV
The Ripple CTO Emeritus, David Schwartz, recently stressed that his “XRP can’t be dirt cheap” comment came from a payment point of view.


Schwartz, former CTO at Ripple, has again explained his long-held view on XRP’s price and how it relates to its use in payments. He addressed the topic amid renewed discussions about why XRP still trades at a relatively low price despite its growing use.

Key Points

David Schwartz clarified that his “XRP cannot be cheap” statement was about payment efficiency, not a price prediction.

The comment originally came from November 2017, when XRP traded at $0.24.

Schwartz explained that higher XRP prices allow the same total payment value to move with fewer tokens, reducing market impact.
The latest clarification comes on the back of concerns around XRP’s low price despite growing utility.

XRPL validator Vet emphasized that some have misquoted the comment as a price prediction.

ATOM, the native token of Cosmos, might be close to ending its prolonged bearish trend, one it has followed since 18 February 2025. In fact, thanks to a 5.25% price hike over the last 24 hours, ATOM broke out of a narrow range, opening the door for a massive move on the charts.

ATOM’s trading volume surged notably by 13.22% over the same period too. This suggested that market participants may be showing greater interest in ATOM’s prevailing market trend.

Data further revealed that following its most recent gains ATOM officially outperformed major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) over the aforementioned period.

Japan-based Metaplanet has now become the third-largest public firm holding Bitcoin. The ascent comes after the firm acquired 5,075 BTC, worth $405M, in Q1 2026, bringing its overall holdings to 40,177 BTC.

As of late 2025, Metaplanet held 35K BTC and ranked fourth. During that period, Bitcoin miner MARA ranked third with over 50K BTC. However, the miner offloaded over 15K BTC ($1.1 billion) in March, bringing its holdings to 38K BTC.

Collectively, the two factors led MARA to lose the third spot to Metaplanet.

Metaplanet’s 2026-2027 plan

But Metaplanet’s broader plan and long-term goal are way larger. The firm aims to acquire 210K BTC by 2027.

In 2026 alone, it plans to scale its holdings to 100K BTC. Put differently, in the remaining three quarters, it could add an extra 60K BTC.

At current prices, this would imply about $3.96 billion in needed capital to fund the 2026 deficit.

For the 5,075 BTC bought in Q1, the firm said the bid was funded by “capital market activities and operating income.” In fact, last month the firm raised $275 million, with an option to increase it to $531 million through selling its stock.

Even so, this was still short of the nearly $4B needed to hit the 2026 target. Additionally, its Bitcoin revenue, generated from selling Bitcoin Options contracts and lending and borrowing against its holdings, hit $18.9 million in Q1.

Taken together, this would bring overall funds to $550M in Q1. Still, this implied a shortfall of $3.5B to hit the 100K BTC milestone this year.

Metaplanet’s BTC strategy faces a $1.5B paper loss

That said, Metaplanet’s ascent to the third spot has not been a smooth sail. The firm’s current BTC holdings now face an unrealized loss of $1.5 billion.

The current stash was bought at $4.1B, but at current prices, it was worth $2.7B, translating to a 36% drawdown as BTC struggles below $7
