As Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) forecasts massive tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), reaching $3 trillion to $10 trillion by 2030, Finbold identified two established cryptocurrencies that are powering the blockchains enabling mainstream bridging between Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and are well positioned to hit a market capitalization of $100 billion by 2027.
As of October 13, 2026, the two cryptocurrencies that are likely to reach $100 billion by the end of next year are XRP , which is the native token for XRP Ledger (XRPL), and Solana ( SOL ).
Why Solana and XRP are the cryptocurrencies racing to a $100B milestone by 2027
At the time of writing, XRP had a market capitalization of approximately $85.71 billion, down 2.74% over the past 24 hours. As a result, XRP is about $14.29 billion shy of hitting a $100 billion milestone, which signals a potential 16.67% upside over the next 14 months.

As of Tuesday, two artificial intelligence ( AI ) large language models (LLMs) expect this altcoin to hit a market cap of $100 billion before the end of this year, as Finbold explained .
The token’s bullish sentiment in 2027 is well poised to be sustained by XRP Ledger tokenization growth. At the time of publication, XRPL’s 30-day transfer volume for RWA tokens soared 1,458.59% to roughly $7.03 billion, despite only 290 RWA holders, as per updates from RWA.XYZ, thereby signaling rising institutional adoption.

Solana is likely to see its market cap revisit $100 billion by 2027. At the time of reporting, Solana had a market cap of $62.99 billion, according to metrics from CoinMarketCap , thereby requiring around $37.01 billion to reach a $100 billion target

Amid regulatory clarity for RWA tokenization in major jurisdictions, the Solana network has already attracted over 893,500 RWA holders.
Consequently, the market caps of Solana and XRP are the two cryptocurrencies that have a higher chance of hitting $100 billion by 2027.
