Crypto researcher SMQKE recently published a detailed commentary on the long-term trajectory of the cryptocurrency market, emphasizing its transformative potential for wealth creation. Referencing a statement that “cryptocurrency may produce the world’s first trillionaires in the next decade,” SMQKE underscored how the altcoin sector’s exponential growth is poised to challenge and overcome skepticism surrounding digital assets as viable investments. He argued that the current phase of adoption remains underestimated and that those ignoring the sector now risk missing what he called “the largest wealth transfer in history.” Early Adopters Versus Traditional Investors SMQKE drew a parallel between the ongoing rise of digital assets and the internet boom of the 1990s. However, he noted that the shift toward cryptocurrencies is likely to unfold even more forcefully, widening the gap between early crypto-native investors and those who stick to traditional strategies. According to him, early adopters of digital assets will accumulate wealth at a pace surpassing that of the most successful technology investors of previous decades. He framed this trend as a historic rebalancing of financial power, favoring those who engage early in the crypto space. To reinforce his analysis, SMQKE highlighted a historical example from early 2018. During that period, Ripple’s cofounder and former CEO, Chris Larsen , reportedly became one of the wealthiest individuals globally, largely thanks to his holdings of XRP and equity in Ripple. This milestone occurred during a relatively modest adoption wave when XRP’s price rose dramatically to over $2.50 per coin. SMQKE referenced this event as merely a preview of what he believes will happen on a much larger, global scale as the next phase of cryptocurrency adoption unfolds. Remember, back in early 2018, during a modest wave of adoption, Ripple cofounder Chris Larsen briefly became one of the richest people on the planet thanks to XRP’s explosive rise and his stake in the company. That was just the beginning. The next wave is global.

He emphasized that the earlier XRP rally and the wealth it generated for its founders were just “a warm-up,” implying that the next decade could see much larger fortunes created.
