Despite Trading at $2, Prominent XRP Community Commentators Continue to Envision a Future Where the Token is Worth Three to Four Digits

The crypto market is in recovery mode after weeks of a harrowing price crash. XRP experienced its share of the downturn, dipping to $1.60, but has since rebounded to $2.25 today.

Prominent XRP commentators continue to envision a future where the token is worth three to four digits, despite it currently trading at around $2.

This is according to a new post by BarriC, a well-known figure in the XRP community.

Crypto Market Recovers As XRP Surpasses $2 Again

The crypto market is recovering after weeks of a harrowing price crash. XRP experienced its share of the downturn, dipping to $1.60, but has since rebounded to $2.25 today.

Meanwhile, XRP market commentators like BarriC see prices at these levels as an opportunity window for “cheap” accumulation before the asset becomes out of reach.

“People Will Happily Pay $100 for XRP”

In a bold statement, BarriC shared that XRP could eventually skyrocket to $1,000 per token. Notably, this price level represents a 44,344% increase from today’s value.

BarriC went on to claim that today’s price is a bargain. He suggested that someday, investors will gladly pay $100 for a single XRP token, viewing the triple-digit price as the potential new “cheap” entry point for the asset when this occurs.

This implies that XRP’s price would have crossed $100 at some point, but due to typical market retracements, it would dip back to that level, at which point market participants would see it as a new buying opportunity.

BarriC believes this hypothetical scenario would mark a psychological shift that could set the stage for even more explosive growth. Specifically, he claimed that once $100 becomes the new baseline entry point for XRP, the token could surge to $1,000 due to heightened buying pressure.

Interestingly, he even went on to say that people will eventually pay $1,000 per XRP to be part of a new global financial system, because by then, there will be no denying XRP’s potential.

BarriC’s tweet taps into long-standing hopes among XRP holders. Many believe the token’s potential central role in the global financial infrastructure will drive its value upward.

Many in the XRP community share a similar sentiment, such as Alpha Lions Academy founder Edoardo Farina, who recently stated that even an XRP price of $50 could cause anxiety among investors longing for it to reach $100.

Speculative Timelines for XRP to Reach $100 and $1,000

In previous commentary, BarriC even set ambitious timelines for XRP to reach what he calls the “cheap” price of $100 and beyond. He claimed that by the sixth Bitcoin halving in 2032, XRP would be considered cheap in the $100 range and above.

Other market analysts suggest it could take longer for XRP to reach $100. For instance, Telegaon projects that XRP could be trading at $119 by 2040, with a potential high of $160 the same year. Meanwhile, Changelly has even suggested XRP could surpass $1,000 by 2040.

On the other hand, skeptics point to the massive market cap that such a price would imply to quickly dismiss these projections as more wishful thinking than grounded analysis.

To put it in perspective: at a $1,000 price point, assuming XRP’s circulating supply remains steady at 58 billion, the market cap would be $58 trillion. At full supply, it could reach $100 trillion — a figure critics call far-fetched and disconnected from reality.
