Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver continues to maintain his widely projected triple-digit price outlook for XRP.
On the latest Good Evening Crypto podcast, host Abs highlighted this prediction and noted that analysts are closely watching Japan. The country’s long-standing reverse carry trade is unwinding, pushing markets to levels not seen since the early 2000s.
Abs said the unwind was originally expected in 2025, but AI-based projections now suggest it may stretch to March 2026. Meanwhile, signs of change are already showing.
Trillions in borrowed funds are being recalled, and investors are preparing for the ripple effects such shifts usually cause.
Against this backdrop, Jake Claver is doubling down on his conviction that XRP is set for an explosive revaluation. In his view, a three-digit price remains within reach.
“I’m 99.99999% Sure XRP Hits Three Digits”
Claver reiterated one of his strongest predictions to date, stating that he remains extremely confident XRP is on track for a dramatic price jump. “I wouldn’t say that I’m 99.99999% sure if I really wasn’t,” Claver remarked. “Now, it requires catalysts.”
Essentially, while XRP is still around $2, the CEO insisted that a 100X surge to triple digits is not only possible but increasingly probable as global catalysts converge. He pointed to several major developments:
- Oil market disruptions
- Accelerating regulatory engagement from the CFTC and OCC
- A wave of new ETF products involving XRP
- The ongoing Japanese unwind’s impact on global liquidity
Claver stressed that the liquidity rotation into XRP must be massive, particularly through ETFs, for the explosive move to manifest. He highlighted imminent XRP ETF launches from 21Shares and Truth Social’s fund.
Most notably, he speculated that BlackRock’s recently filed ETF, which does not specify its underlying asset, may be “predominantly XRP”. To him, this development could become the primary catalyst for the parabolic move.
ETF Momentum and Liquidity Rotation Build
Beyond upcoming ETFs, existing XRP ETFs have accumulated $970.75 million in inflows in just one month of trading. Leading the momentum have been Canary Capital, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Franklin.
Notably, Claver added that major firms, including $9.3 trillion Vanguard, are now offering XRP-related products to clients. Based on this, he stressed that he is “super bullish” on the remainder of the year despite only a few weeks remaining.
Claver insisted that multiple catalysts must play out before year-end for his projection to materialize.
He also reaffirmed his earlier forecast that XRP would reach four digits, which relied on supply-and-demand mechanisms tied to a global liquidity reset.
Many of the prerequisites he outlined over a year ago — ETFs, a stablecoin bill, increased regulatory clarity — have already materialized. As a result, he remains increasingly confident.
Global Macroeconomic Shock Could Be the Final Trigger
Notably, one of Claver’s strongest warnings centered on a possible geopolitical shock. He expects oil prices to skyrocket heading into late 2025 due to global tensions and potential choke points such as the Strait of Hormuz.
He cited analyst Jim Rickards, who has described how such a crisis could be orchestrated. According to Claver, this scenario could allow central banks to manage the reverse carry trade unwind and turn to XRP for liquidity.
“You never let a good crisis go to waste,” Claver concluded.
