Expert Predicts How High XRP Could Hit if Gold Surges to $10K

Market strategist Mr. VIX, a former distressed credit analyst, has projected a $30 XRP price if gold reaches $10,000.

VIX shared this outlook in a post on X, referencing macroeconomic factors affecting liquidity. He highlighted ambitious price targets for popular safe-haven assets like Bitcoin, gold, and XRP in the event of a major liquidity-driven rally.

“Project Amerizuela” and Inflation Fears

Specifically, his outlook comes in the wake of the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut of the year, which lowered the benchmark rate to 4.00%–4.25%.

Interestingly, newly appointed Fed Governor Stephen Miran dissented at the meeting, advocating for a 0.5% cut. This is double the approved 0.25%.

Miran, seen as an ally of President Trump, believes the U.S. economy requires faster rate reductions. He argues that tariffs do not fuel inflation, and tighter immigration policies could help cool housing demand.

Commenting on X, widely followed financial commentator Alessio dubbed Miran’s aggressive stance “Project Amerizuela,” a satirical nod to Venezuela’s hyperinflation.

He suggested that such a policy could propel the S&P 500 toward 10,000, up from its current level of around 6,631, as markets begin to price in a wave of cheap money.

Steven Miran is part of project Amerizuela, cut rates fast and push inflation to da moon, SPX 10k.

XRP to $30, Bitcoin to $500K if Gold Hits $10K

In the same conversation, Mr. VIX predicted that if a liquidity- and inflation-driven pump occurs, gold could surge to $10,000, roughly 3x its current price of $3,687.

Under this scenario, he expects cryptocurrencies to outperform. Specifically, he forecasts Bitcoin to reach $500,000, a more than 4x increase from its current level of $116,487.

VIX also expects Bitcoin’s closest rival, Ethereum, to see a 9x price increase, jumping from $4,500 to $40,000.

Similarly, he sees XRP rallying to $30 from its current $3.02, an approximate 10x surge. As for silver, the analyst predicts it could rise to $250, representing a 6x increase from current levels.

Mr. VIX maintains that in an environment of aggressive monetary easing and rising inflation, cryptocurrencies and precious metals are likely to outperform equities. He argues that this thesis has held true over the past two years.

Essentially, as the Fed begins to ease policy and internal voices call for deeper cuts, crypto assets may become prime beneficiaries.

Stronger Price Expectations for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP

Beyond macroeconomic factors, industry analysts have outlined various ambitious price targets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, citing alternative catalysts.

For instance, Jack Mallers, CEO of Twenty One Capital, predicts Bitcoin could rise 200x from its current value. He argues that Bitcoin is competing for a slice of the $400–500 trillion global savings market, which includes assets like real estate, equities, and gold. With Bitcoin’s market cap around $2 trillion, he sees massive upside potential.

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has projected Ethereum could rise to $62,000 based on the Wyckoff methodology. He points out that the ETH/BTC ratio is currently below its 8-year average. This suggests significant upside, especially if Ethereum becomes Wall Street’s preferred blockchain for financial infrastructure.

On the other hand, EasyA founders Dom and Phil Kwok continue to emphasize a $1,000 XRP price target by 2030.

Dom cited institutional capital as a key driver, noting that hedge funds are preparing to invest in altcoins beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

On the other hand, Phil highlighted a positive feedback loop. He noted that XRP’s 400% annual gains attract developers, who then build applications that drive user growth and value creation, fueling even higher price appreciation.
