Ripple update: About XRP future value.


Please help me figuring out some core concept about XRP value, and please correct me if I’m wrong.
I don’t want to be positive or negative about XRP future value, I just want to understand better.

1. **The Market**
I often read about Ripple addressing a $26 Trillion market, which is the amount of money stored in Nostro/Vostro accounts.
BUT, the value proposition of Ripple is to help institutions “releasing” money locked in Nostro/Vostro accounts by using xCurrent/xRapid and replacing the SWIFT system.
SO, the real market that Ripple is addressing is NOT the $26 Trillion stored in Nostro/Vostro account, but it’s the total amount of money exchanged on SWIFT, which is $5 Trillion per day (as reported by the US government here [https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/Appendix_D.pdf](https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/Appendix_D.pdf))
2. **The Value**
An XRP transaction takes 4 second to complete.
If you do the math, considering $5Trillion exchanged every day, it means that every 4 seconds $231Million are exchanged on SWIFT with an avg of 700 transactions (as reported on the SWIFT website that says 15million transaction happen every day: [https://www.swift.com/about-us/swift-fin-traffic-figures](https://www.swift.com/about-us/swift-fin-traffic-figures)).
It means that all the Banks and Institutions using SWIFT, have a need of $231M to be exchanged every 4 seconds.
There are 50Billion XRP in circulation today (100Billion in the future).
SO, in order to successfully replace the entire SWIFT system keeping all the involved parties satisfied, the price of a single XRP needs to be as little as $0,004 (231M divided by 50Billion).

If everything is correct, once (and if) Ripple will completely replace SWIFT, why should the XRP value be orders of magnitude more than $0,004?
Am I wrong?

Thanks.
