Financial expert Levi Rietveld recently shared a bold projection backed by a detailed valuation model positioning XRP at a theoretical price of $18,036.

In the post, Rietveld wrote, “TRUE XRP PRICE LEAKED!!! ($18,036 CONFIRMED!?!)” while attaching a video that walks through the assumptions and structure behind the estimate. The analysis centers on a discounted cash flow framework and presents XRP as a potential core layer for global financial transactions.

Explaining the Discounted Cash Flow Model

In the video shared on X, Rietveld explained that he has been examining multiple valuation approaches used by financial institutions and research groups. He noted, “XRP valuation model number four,” which applies a discounted cash flow methodology.

According to his explanation, this model evaluates the present value of future financial activity by adjusting expected cash flows over ten years back to today’s value.

Rietveld stated, “This is called the discounted cash flow model. It measures the present value of money in the future,” adding that the framework has been adapted to assess global transaction flows.

Valhill Capital developed the model referenced in his presentation and treats XRP as a global payment pipeline rather than a speculative asset.

Key Assumptions Behind the $18,036 Estimate

The model, as described in the video, begins with a base global transaction volume of $104 trillion. It assumes a steady economic growth rate of 2% annually and applies a 10% discount rate to account for time and risk. Another central assumption involves adoption, with XRP usage projected to expand from 2% to full global integration by 2031.

Rietveld emphasized that the valuation outcome depends on XRP functioning as the backbone of the entire financial system. He explained that under these conditions, in which XRP facilitates all global currency transactions, the model produces a price estimate of approximately $18,000 per coin.

The visual snapshot attached outlines these figures in detail. It shows a calculated transaction value of $915 trillion. It divides that across a circulating supply of 50.7 billion tokens to reach the projected price.

Context and Limitations Acknowledged

While presenting the model, Rietveld acknowledged that such projections rely on highly optimistic assumptions. He noted the presence of competing technologies and referenced the emergence of additional financial products, including stablecoins, as factors that could influence adoption dynamics.

He clarified that the $18,000 figure represents a full-scale adoption scenario rather than a near-term expectation. However, he argued that even partial adoption could have a meaningful impact on price levels. As he stated in the video, “If we’re to achieve even just 1% of this goal, XRP is going to be trading significantly higher than where it is right now today.”

The model also highlights certain limitations, including debates around the appropriate discount rate and the challenge of accurately forecasting adoption rates. Nonetheless, Rietveld’s presentation frames the analysis as a structured attempt to quantify long-term potential using established financial methodologies.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
