Ripple’s Chris Larsen Drops Bombshell: XRP Could Skyrocket to $1000—Here’s the Reality Check
Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen just set the crypto world ablaze with a jaw-dropping prediction: XRP at $1000. Cue the collective gasp—and the skepticism.
Is this a visionary call or hopium on steroids? Let’s dissect the hype.
The $1000 Dream: Math or Madness?
At that price, XRP’s market cap would dwarf Bitcoin’s ATH. Even for crypto, that’s a stretch—unless Larsen knows something about global adoption the rest of us missed (or he’s betting on hyperinflation).
Regulatory Wildcards
Remember the SEC lawsuit? Exactly. Until U.S. regulators stop treating crypto like a piñata, mega-price targets are just fan fiction with charts.
The Bottom Line
Crypto loves a moonshot narrative—especially when traditional finance is busy inflating asset bubbles elsewhere. But until Ripple flips the switch on real-world utility, treat this prediction like a Wall Street analyst’s ‘strong buy’ rating: entertaining, but maybe don’t bet your Tesla on it.

The claim has got XRP fans into action, with a few taking it as a bold prophecy of the token’s long-term value. Some have referred to the remark as anything but optimism. They called it a “calculated vision” based on XRP’s velocity, usability, and rising institutional adoption.
A closer examination suggests that there is no definite source for this statement. Larsen never makes such a specific price projection or explicitly equates the XRP value with SWIFT transaction volume in any public interviews, speeches, or official documents.
What’s true is that Larsen has repeatedly spoken of Ripple’s vision to change international payments and displace archaic systems such as SWIFT. Even Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse estimated five years ago that XRP stood a chance of taking up to 14% of SWIFT’s global transaction volume in five years.
Notably, this $1,000 XRP claim has gained even more traction amid recent rumors of a potential Ripple–SWIFT collaboration. Although unconfirmed, the overlap of these rumors has fueled speculation and boosted attention in the XRP community. This shows how fast price claims can go viral.
