There has been widespread debate about how XRP holders should position themselves for the coin’s future possibilities.
In a tweet, widely followed community commentator “The Modern Investor” sparked conversation in the XRP community when he asked how many tokens one needs to be happy. The tweet garnered attention, even though he provided no context as to what constitutes happiness in holding XRP. Many community members equated it to achieving financial success.
XRP Army Reacts
Some users suggested that holding as many as 100,000 tokens could represent financial success or happiness. However, others believe fewer tokens might be enough. X user Erin Smith believes the more XRP one has, the happier they will likely be.
Another commentator, Jack Joeshop, argued that investors should commit 1% of their portfolio to XRP. Meanwhile, one added that investors should aim to hold enough XRP to generate an annual income of $75,000.
Notably, X user Señor Steak provided a more detailed breakdown for different years. He suggested investors should hold 100,000 XRP tokens by 2025. For 2028 to 2029, he finds a 10,000-token holding reasonable for achieving happiness. Interestingly, he proposed that just 1,000 tokens would be sufficient between 2032 and 2033.
He cited the coming of ETF investing in XRP and DeFi functionality via Flare as factors that could boost XRP’s price in the coming years. However, while he expects the price to rise, he did not specify by how much.
100k for 2024-25
10k for 2028 – 29
1k for 2032 – 33
But you know we do have Defi via @FlareNetworks and others coming very soon. 👀 annnnnd like 18 or so ETF’s.— SeñorSteak☀️🏴☠️🪝 (@XRP_VIKING) April 24, 2025
1,000 XRP for a Joyful Life
In a separate conversation, XRP advocate Duefe argued that holding just 1,000 XRP would be enough to live a joyous and fulfilling life by 2029. Similarly, Edoardo Farina suggested that holding 10,000 XRP could lead to unimaginable success.
Essentially, these perspectives suggest that if XRP’s price rises to certain levels, retail investors with strategic holdings could achieve financial breakthroughs. For example, someone holding 10,000 XRP would see their portfolio reach $1 million if the price of a single XRP hits $100.
When Can This Dream Materialize?
While various market commentators offer differing opinions on how much XRP one should hold, there is little consensus on what amount guarantees financial success. This is mainly due to the uncertainty surrounding future prices, despite XRP’s history of notable uptrends.
For instance, although many are hopeful, uncertainty persists over whether XRP will ever reach $100, which would turn 10,000 XRP into $1 million. An even greater leap to $1,000 per XRP would be needed to make holders of 1,000 tokens millionaires, though skepticism about this price point remains high.
Crypto exchange Changelly predicts XRP could be worth as much as $1,340 by 2040. However, analysts at Telegaon estimate a maximum value of $160 by that year. According to them, even by 2050, XRP’s price may still fall below $300, far from the coveted $1,000 mark.
