XRP to $1,000? Pundit Predicts Stability at ’Very Expensive’ Levels

Crypto’s favorite courtroom drama token might just have its Cinderella moment—if you believe the hype. One analyst claims XRP will stabilize at a jaw-dropping $1,000, turning today’s ’bargain’ into tomorrow’s ’luxury asset.’

From basement to penthouse

For context: XRP currently trades around $0.50. Hitting four digits would require a 200,000% rally—roughly the equivalent of a penny stock morphing into Apple overnight. But in crypto-land, where ’impossible’ gets redefined weekly, true believers are already dusting off their moon math calculators.

The stability paradox

What’s wilder than the price target? The claim it’ll ’stabilize’ there. Since when does any crypto—let alone one with Ripple’s regulatory baggage—do anything resembling stability? (Cue laughter from Bitcoin maximalists.)

Wall Street’s worst nightmare

Imagine the faces at Goldman Sachs when grandma’s XRP stash—bought during the 2023 SEC lawsuit fire sale—suddenly outpaces their entire derivatives desk. The ultimate ’talk to the ledger’ moment for traditional finance.

Analyst Predicts The Altcoin Will Hit $10 To $20 Before Entering New Bear Market

Crypto market commentator BarriC shared a post on social media platform X outlining a future price trajectory for XRP that begins with a major surge in the coming months. BarriC’s post begins by criticizing the perception that the current price range, which remains below $3, reflects failure. Instead, he views this phase as an accumulation opportunity before a massive breakout. 

According to the analyst, there’s a high possibility that the XRP price will climb to somewhere between $10 and $20 in the next few months. Such a move would undoubtedly be accompanied by a surge in the trading volume and activity surrounding XRP. One such primer is if the cryptocurrency somehow gains full utility and adoption with banks in the next few months, or through the launch of a Spot XRP ETF. This surge, BarriC noted, would likely coincide with the final stages of the current altcoin season.

Following that, he expects a significant market correction, similar to past cycles, which WOULD bring XRP back down to the $5 to $10 range. Previous cycles dating back to 2016 have typically ended with a sharp 50% market dip. If this happens again, the lower boundary for the next cycle could land between $5 and $10. This mid-cycle dip, according to BarriC, will be the last time XRP is considered cheap before it enters a fundamentally different phase.

Banks And Institutional Adoption To Tie Up XRP At $1,000 Permanently

BarriC’s prediction is ultimately based on banks’ mass institutional adoption of XRP. He noted that when the asset becomes deeply integrated into the daily operations of banks and financial institutions, we will see a $1,000 XRP. Once trillions of dollars begin flowing consistently through the XRP Ledger, there will be no more volatility and bear market phases for its price. 

At that point, BarriC believes the altcoin will stabilize at a $1,000 valuation, not as a temporary peak but as a structural price floor. In this case, future investors may only be able to afford fractions of one XRP, much like Bitcoin currently.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.30, down by 2.35% in the past 24 hours. XRP has been steadily declining from $2.62 in the past seven days.
