The founders of EasyA, Dom and Phil Kwok, recently joined host Tony Edward on the Thinking Crypto podcast to discuss XRP remarkable performance and its long-term potential.
During the conversation, Edward recalled their earlier bold forecast of $1,000 per XRP by 2030. This target continues to stir excitement across the XRP community.
Meanwhile, Dom Kwok clarified that the team is not ready to share a price prediction for the current market cycle, noting that the outlook is “still formulating.”
However, he noted that the long-term thesis remains intact, particularly as institutional adoption begins to reshape the market landscape.
Institutional Capital Ready to Flow
According to Dom Kwok, a major driver for the next phase of growth will be institutional investment. He highlighted that hedge funds and asset managers are actively exploring ways to deploy capital into tokens beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
“The legal teams inside these funds are now looking at how they can actually deploy capital into other tokens,” he said.
He stressed that legal approvals and updated investment mandates will be key. As these hurdles clear, significant new capital inflows could follow, creating a strong tailwind for XRP and other altcoins.
With the SEC lawsuit against Ripple effectively resolved, the regulatory overhang that once limited institutional participation has eased. This development positions XRP to gain mainstream attention on outlets like Bloomberg and CNBC, where discussions have traditionally centered on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Developers Follow the Price Action
The Kwok brothers also highlighted the network effect that links price movement to developer activity. As token prices rise, developer interest naturally accelerates, creating a positive feedback loop.
“Price attracts attention, attention attracts developers. Developers then build applications, which attract more users, and that has many effects on the price,” Phil Kwok explained.
He added that DeFi applications and transaction fees can help reduce circulating supply, strengthening the value proposition.
456% Surge Shows Strong Momentum
XRP has already proven its resilience in the current bull cycle, rallying 456% since last year to trade at $3.14. This performance makes it the top-performing altcoin among the large-cap segment.
This surge has inspired a number of projects, ranging from staking services to new financial products designed to capitalize on the token’s momentum and its strong global community.
Dom Kwok noted that blockchains can’t ignore token price, as a weak or declining chart deters both users and developers. By contrast, XRP’s sustained uptrend continues to draw builders and investors, reinforcing its market position.
The Road to $1,000
While a concrete short-term target remains unannounced, the EasyA founders’ bold $1,000 price prediction for 2030 remains a rallying point for XRP enthusiasts. The price of XRP would need to soar 31,650% from $3.15 to reach $1,000.

As the Kwok brothers suggest, XRP’s trajectory could be shaped by powerful network effects and increasing real-world utility, as institutional investors prepare to diversify beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, and developers flock to networks showing strong growth.
Meanwhile, other industry commentators have suggested that XRP may take longer than 2030 to reach the $1,000 mark. For instance, Matthew Brienen, Co-Founder of CryptoCharged, said the price outlook may materialize by 2035.
