Discussions about XRP reaching a new all-time high have gained momentum recently, as the asset attempts another historic price breakout.
As XRP makes a renewed attempt to approach the $3 mark this week, the move has emboldened some market commentators who continue to issue ambitious projections for where XRP is headed.
In a tweet, the influencer behind “The Modern Investor” sparked a conversation about XRP reaching $9. Specifically, he boldly asserted that XRP would break $9 by September 2025.
He issued this projection with a question, asking investors if they would sell their XRP tokens when the asset claims the $9 mark. With XRP trading at $2.45 today, reaching the $9 target would reward current holders with a 267% gain.
This price would also mark a new all-time high for XRP, bringing it closer to the much-cherished double-digit range. It is worth mentioning that a $9 price puts XRP’s market cap at approximately half a trillion dollars. This development would place XRP in direct rivalry with the valuations of Mastercard and Netflix.
While this may seem like an ambitious outlook, numerous market commentators agree on the possibility of XRP reaching, and surpassing, $9 this cycle.
Industry Voices Calling for XRP $9+ This Year
Recently, market analyst DK64Trades expressed that XRP could “easily” surpass $10 this cycle, dismissing skepticism about higher price targets. He highlighted a stark contrast in XRP’s market dominance: 31.33% during its $3.84 peak in 2018 vs. just 5% at $3.34 in January 2025.
He suggests that if XRP regains its previous dominance, its market cap could hit $1.04 trillion, implying a potential price of $17.80, based on the current $3.33 trillion global crypto market cap.
Meanwhile, market watcher Capt Toblerone projects the crypto market could reach $35 trillion this cycle, with XRP attaining a $1.25 trillion market cap. He also expects Bitcoin’s dominance to fall sharply from over 62% to around 17%, creating room for significant altcoin growth. In this scenario, he anticipates XRP could reach $22 per token.
Beyond charts and market cap speculation, Bitcoin evangelist Davinci Jeremie recently argued that XRP has a good chance of reaching $24 by the end of this year. Jeremie emphasized that XRP is seeing strong political backing from the highest office in the United States, which could influence its price appreciation.
Others with a More Conservative Outlook
While these analysts are confident about XRP’s potential this year, other popular prediction platforms have offered a more extended timeline for when XRP might reach $9.
For instance, Telegaon suggests XRP could hit $9 in 2026, but only in a hyper-bullish market. From 2027 onward, it sees the $9 price as the minimum. Crypto exchange Changelly shares a similar outlook, noting that XRP may not reach $9 until 2028.
