Here’s Why to Do Nothing with XRP Until 2030

A well-known member of the XRP community who goes by “Traveler” has urged holders to remain completely inactive with their XRP tokens until 2030. 

He shared this advice in a recent post, encouraging investors to take no action. After the post triggered discussions, Traveler returned to make his message clearer, confirming he meant that no one should sell their XRP, regardless of what happens in the market over the next few years.

“Do Nothing with XRP Until 2030”

This suggests Traveler believes XRP will reach much higher prices by 2030, even if it hits new highs soon. Essentially, selling too early could mean missing out on life-changing gains.

Notably, his opinion matches the growing belief among XRP proponents that the real value of the token lies in long-term price movements, not in short-term jumps. Forecasts from several analysts back the growing sentiment. 

Long-Term XRP Price Targets

For instance, Changelly analysts predict XRP could start 2030 at $19.21 and climb to as much as $32.60 by year-end. Based on that estimate, anyone holding 10,000 XRP today, worth around $35,000 at a current price of $3.5, could see their investment rise to $326,000 in five years.

Notably, this is nearly $300,000 in potential profit, much more than what someone would make by selling at $5 or even $15 in the short term.

Meanwhile, Telegaon has a more bullish forecast. Their analysts expect XRP to reach a minimum of $36.86 and possibly touch $48.03 by 2030. If this plays out, those same 10,000 tokens would be worth roughly $480,000. This represents a $445,000 gain on today’s price.

Also, community figure BABA expects XRP to touch higher levels long-term. He didn’t tie his outlook to a specific year, but his expectations support long-term holding. 

Specifically, he sees a short-term price between $5 and $7 as realistic if XRP benefits from clear regulations. For the mid-term, he expects a $10 to $20 range with institutional involvement. Meanwhile, in the long term, he believes XRP could pass $100 if it becomes relevant in global liquidity and tokenized finance. 

Opinions from Other Community Figures

Interestingly, besides Traveler, other XRP community figures have advised against selling XRP too early. For one, Edoardo Farina warned earlier this month that selling at $10 would be a once-in-a-lifetime mistake. At the time, XRP still hovered around $2. 

Last month, The Crypto Basic reported him insisting that nothing, including wars, disasters, financial collapses, or even AI takeovers, would convince him to sell. He insisted that he plans to hold onto his XRP tokens all the way to the $100 price target.

Meanwhile, another XRP proponent, who has chosen to stay anonymous, warned that 99% of holders would sell too early, likely between $10 and $20. He believes XRP will eventually separate from Bitcoin’s price movements. Once that happens, he expects XRP to climb nonstop.

99% of XRP holders will sell between $10 and $20, not understanding that XRP is a key part of the new financial system we are entering. In the event of a bear market, it may go down, but if it is adopted, it WILL DECOUPLE from Bitcoin.

XRP WILL RISE WITHOUT EVER STOPPING.

However, analyst EGRAG Crypto holds a different sentiment. He has urged investors not to wait for a specific top but to take profits gradually. This approach will allow investors to lock in gains while still holding enough XRP to benefit from future price surges. This way, if a correction hits, they won’t miss the chance to profit along the way.
