XRP at $1,000 vs. Bitcoin at $1M: Which Will Mint More Millionaires? (Analyst Bombshell)

Forget "to the moon"—this prediction slingshots XRP into a wealth-creation stratosphere even Bitcoin can't match. A bullish analyst just dropped a grenade in the crypto status quo, claiming Ripple's asset could outpace BTC in minting new millionaires at these price targets.

The math that’s rattling crypto Twitter

At $1,000 per XRP versus $1 million per Bitcoin, the numbers get savage. XRP’s lower price point means explosive percentage gains—the kind that turn modest bags into life-changing money. Meanwhile, BTC’s elite whale game leaves fewer seats at the millionaire table unless you’re already holding stacks.

A jab wrapped in a prediction

Wall Street’s still busy overcharging clients for index funds while this asymmetric bet lurks in plain sight. Whether the analyst’s right or wrong, one truth remains: crypto’s wealth redistribution engine hums louder than any traditional finance ‘opportunity.’

The closer that cuts both ways

XRP maximalists will brandish this as prophecy. Bitcoin OGs will dismiss it as heresy. But both camps know—when these assets move, they rewrite fortunes faster than a hedge fund liquidation.

Xena on XXena on X Right now, XRP trades at $2.96. At this price, an investor can pick up 1,000 XRP tokens with just $2,960. Meanwhile, if XRP hits $1,000 someday, the 1,000 tokens, currently worth $2,960, would turn into $1 million.  In comparison, investing the same $2,960 in bitcoin at its current price of $115,095 would only buy 0.0257 BTC. If Bitcoin climbs to $1 million, that investment would grow to just $25,717.  This difference is the major reason some investors believe XRP offers a better chance at life-changing returns. However, XRP would only present better returns at $1,000 because it has a longer journey to this milestone than Bitcoin does to $1 million. Xena's comments came as a response to a disclosure from another well-known XRP proponent, Anderson. He argued that if Bitcoin can realistically reach $1 million, then XRP should have a fair shot at $1,000.  His statement pointed to what many in the XRP community see as a double standard. Most people believe Bitcoin can hit $1 million, but these individuals still doubt XRP could ever reach $1,000. Predictions of a Bitcoin Run to $1M+ Specifically, many experts and high-profile investors have backed Bitcoin's long-term upside. Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, believes Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030. She has supported this view since 2022 and recently increased the target to $1.5 million, pointing to rising institutional adoption.  Moreover, Fundstrat's Tom Lee also sees Bitcoin hitting $1 million within a few years. He calls it a digital safe haven like gold and expects milestones of $150,000 and $500,000 within five years. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor, who founded Strategy, has one of the boldest predictions. He believes Bitcoin could be worth $13 million by 2045. Notably, he bases this on the limited supply of BTC and the demand surges often seen after halving events, especially those expected in 2025 and 2026.  Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has said he expects Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2035 due to rising U.S. debt and financial instability. Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, thinks Bitcoin could cross the $1 million mark before 2030 thanks to growing institutional interest from firms like BlackRock.  Some Believe XRP Could Hit $1,000 For XRP, the outlook isn't as widely accepted, but some predictions still exist. In April 2025, CryptoGuard's COO said XRP could reach between $100 and $1,000 within the next decade.  Changelly's analysts forecast XRP could climb to $1,020 by May 2040. Also, most recently, in July 2025, EasyA's founders discussed XRP potentially hitting $1,000, pointing to the expansion of the XRP DeFi ecosystem as a possible spark for such a rally. However, the more extensive journey required for XRP to hit $1,000 has contributed to the growing skepticism. For context, while Bitcoin only needs to jump 768% from its current price to hit $1 million, XRP must surge by 33,683% to get to $1,000.  Also, if Bitcoin hits its goal with a 19.9 million token supply, its market cap would land at $19.9 trillion, still below gold's $22.4 trillion. On the other hand, XRP would reach a $59.3 trillion market cap at $1,000 with 59.3 billion tokens, more than double gold's value.
