XRP Reaching $200–$400 Attributed to Forbes Should Be Disregarded, Says Expert

XRP community commentator “All Things XRP” has once again called out misleading price speculation circulating within the XRP ecosystem.

This time, the issue concerns a false claim attributed to Forbes, suggesting that XRP might reach $200 to $400 within the next four weeks. Although Forbes has made no such prediction, the statement continues to circulate within the XRP community, with some members still sharing it.

With such unverified statements making the rounds on social media, internal criticism has emerged, highlighting how they fuel unrealistic expectations.

“You’re Hurting the XRP Community with Fake Predictions”

All Things XRP expressed frustration, stating that XRP community members who continue to post this misinformation are doing more harm than good. “You’re hurting,” he said. The analyst emphasized that the community is tired of baseless hype and now seeks depth, accuracy, and effort, not inflated expectations.

Notably, speculation about XRP’s potential remains widespread, with ongoing discussions about whether a triple-digit price like $100 or even four-digit figures could be possible.

Hopes for XRP to Reach $100 and Beyond

Earlier this year, analyst Javon Marks projected that XRP could reach $99 per coin by the end of the current cycle. While some welcomed this projection, others pushed back. They argue that a 4,800% increase within such a short timeframe is far-fetched.

Similarly, American wealth mentor Linda Jones suggested that a $100 bill might be enough to buy just 1 XRP someday. However, she did not provide a timeline, only expressing that she believes it’s a possible long-term outcome.

Meanwhile, critics have dismissed the idea of XRP reaching $100 due to the market cap implications. Specifically, it would require nearly $6 trillion. As a result, platforms like Telegaon have proposed that such a milestone might only be reached in 15 years.

Nonetheless, ambitious commentators continue to argue that $100 and above is a reasonable near-term expectation. Observers have noted that proponents of such claims may be motivated by clickbait.

Avoid Clickbait, Focus on Substance

In his recent commentary, All Things XRP urged influencers in the XRP space to reconsider their role in shaping community sentiment. He advised them to ask a simple question before posting:

“Will my audience be smarter, more informed, or better off after reading this?”

The commentator emphasized that influencers should earn attention through value, not hype. He stressed the importance of credibility over clickbait.

Panos Mekras, co-founder of Anodos Finance, echoed this sentiment. He encouraged the XRP community to focus on real XRPL and DeFi developments instead of baseless predictions and riddles.

It's about time for both influencers and community to stop focusing on meaningless predictions and nonsense riddles. The reality and actual developments are far more exciting (and real). Let's make the XRPL great again and the go-to DeFi chain!

Similarly, Crypto Eri called for confronting internal misinformation, particularly false claims such as XRP’s supposed connection to ISO 20022. These XRP community figures agree that grounding optimism in reality will strengthen the XRP community and enhance its credibility.
