The potential impact of Ripple securing a full banking license is gaining significant traction after Teucrium Chief Executive Officer (CEO)Sal Gilbertie discussed the crypto company’s massive holdings and the XRP price. Analysts are now weighing what it could mean if theXRP price climbs to $3 on the back of Ripple’s potential transformation from a crypto-focused firm into a top licensed bank.

The XRP Price If Ripple Becomes A Top Bank

In a recent X post, a crypto market commentatorannounced that Ripple could become a top-20 bank globally by market capitalization if it securesa full banking license. She published a video interview featuring Teucrium CEO Paul Barron and the host of the Paul Barron Network.

During the interview, Gilbertie laid out a scenario in which Ripple couldbecome one of the largest banks in the world by simply maintaining its existing XRP holdings. He emphasized that if the crypto company obtains a full banking license, its40 million XRP held in escrow could dramatically increase its balance sheet value and elevate its market position. By retaining the tokens, Ripple could automatically leverage them as a strategic asset in a regulated banking environment.

Gilbertie also highlighted that if the crypto company becomes a licensed bank, it could propel the XRP price to $3, and from there, Ripple could be ranked among the top 20 banks globally by capitalization. The interview also explored the potential scaling if XRP reaches “multiples of $3.” The Teucrium CEO emphasized that Ripple’s valuation would expand in proportion to the cryptocurrency’s price, potentially propelling it to the top as the world’s leading bank.

The interview also addressed on-chain operations and traditional financial infrastructures such as ETFs. When Barron asked whetherleveraged ETFs could ever be on-chain, Sal confidently said yes, noting that all financial instruments will eventually operate on-chain. His response suggests a future in which traditional finance could be fully integrated with digital assets and blockchain technology.

Update On Ripple’s Banking License Status

Ripple has continued to progress through regulatory pathways that would allow it to operate with bank-like authority in the US. The crypto company previouslyreceived conditional preliminary approval from the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) fora national trust bank charter.

This approval places Ripple alongside a handful of other crypto firms that have also taken steps toward becoming regulated banks under US law. While full approval has not yet been granted, Ripple continues to develop its payment rails throughacquisitions, partnerships, andshare buybacks.

At the same time, XRP, the primary token supported by Ripple, is currently trading at $1.43 after rallying 14% this week to $1.6. Although it has given up most of its gains, analysts still maintain a bullish outlook for the cryptocurrency.

By Doug Busch Shopify is no longer a pandemic-era growth story that simply failed to slow down. It is compounding at a pace few software platforms its size still manage. In the second quarter of 2026, sales on its platform rose 32%. That was the fifth straight quarter of growth exceeding 30%. Merchants are also using more of Shopify's own tools, from payments to Shop Pay, and new channels like AI shopping agents are starting to increase demand. The simple bull case is that the stock already commands a huge share of independent online commerce, and that position should become more valuable as more buying moves through its checkout. A rule of market mechanics is that the vast majority of an individual security's gain is driven by its underlying sector. Within technology, software has staged a robust recovery, joining semiconductors to power the broader sector higher. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has maintained an upward trajectory since its mid-April lows, though the advance from $74 to $112 has been choppy as bulls repeatedly stepped in to defend when necessary. Breadth across large-cap software has expanded significantly, with 24 constituents surging over 20% over the past three months. During that same three-month window, Shopify generated outstanding relative strength, advancing 36%, more than doubling the IGV's 17% gain over the same period. Expect the stock's outperformance to persist as software momentum broadens. Let's examine the daily and monthly charts to outline the technical drivers behind this thesis. Looking at the daily chart, the ratio chart against the IGV shows persistent outperformance extending back to mid-May. The stock is riding an eight-session winning streak, during which price action cleared a double-bottom-with-handle pivot at $151.39. Within this broader base, the stock recorded a bullish golden cross in late August and successfully filled its Sept. 10 price gap, tracing back to its Aug. 4 session, the day before a powerful earnings reaction sent the stock surging 17% hi
