A notable XRP community figure has admitted he is eager to see XRP claim a three-digit figure, but believes the target is not feasible in 2025.
Market pundit “The XRP Guy” said this amid a recent proliferation of the XRP to $100 chants on the back of XRP’s impressive performance over the past three months. For context, XRP soared from $0.5028 on Nov. 4, 2024, to a seven-year peak of $3.4 on Jan. 16, 2025.
This marked a massive 574% increase within three months. Despite XRP recently relinquishing the $3 psychological level, bullish sentiments have dominated the scene, as investors believe the previous run demonstrates its potential. As a result, ambitious predictions like the $100 price target have sprung up.
XRP to $100 Not Possible This Cycle
Even before the latest XRP upsurge, market commentator Levi Rietveld revealed last September that he is 100% sure XRP can reach $100. Now, while The XRP Guy is eager to see this price target materialize, he has presented a counter argument to some commentaries around it.
According to him, XRP could never reach $100 in 2025. For context, XRP would require a 4,246% increase from its current price to claim the $100 mark, and this would push its market cap to trillions of dollars. The XRP Guy believes this is not a feat that the altcoin is capable of attaining within one year.
“Get realistic. Wake up,” he commented, expressing certainty in his disclosure. However, it is important to note that the market pundit did not specifically dismiss the $100 target. However, he does not expect the asset to reach the target this year. Interestingly, wealth mentor Linda P. Jones holds the same sentiment.
Further, critics like Bitcoin maxi Rajat Soni have persistently voiced similar sentiments, with Soni recently arguing that those who believe this is possible in the current cycle have “undiagnosed mental disability.”
Proponents Cite Utility as Possible Catalyst
Despite this, the XRP to $100 projections persist. Amid these predictions, Tristan Tate, a media personality and brother of Andrew Tate, recently launched a query to understand the hype around XRP and how it could rally to the $100 level.
In response, some commenters pointed to its utility in cross-border payments and the attractive features of the XRPL as factors that could trigger this price target.
However, for XRP to reach $100, its fully diluted valuation would need to soar to $10 trillion, over three times the current market cap of the entire crypto market, making this goal highly improbable. Nonetheless, Last November, market analyst Armando Pantoja dismissed these market cap concerns, suggesting that the $100 is possible.
