Uphold XRP to $1,000 Prediction, Expert Says — Just in Case You Never Saw This Before

Jake Claver has spotlighted a previous commentary from top exchange Uphold, which presented a third-party prediction of an XRP four-digit price.

XRP has not fared well throughout Q4 2025 amid a broader market downtrend. Since October, XRP has collapsed 34%, losing the pivotal $2 psychological mark, as it currently trades for $1.87. At the current price, XRP remains on track to record its first yearly loss since the 2022 bear market.

Uphold Presents XRP Targets from Grok

Amid the current bearish conditions, price predictions surrounding XRP, which were predominantly ambitious earlier in the year, have become less bullish. Most recently, Ripple Bull Winkle, an XRP community pundit, revealed that Uphold shared an XRP price target of $9 to $13 for the 2025 bull market.

With only three days left in 2025, the chances of an XRP surge to this price range remain low, as this would require a 381% to 595% surge for the crypto asset. When other investors questioned the target, Ripple Bull Winkle suggested that the prediction could materialize in 2026, as the current 2025 bull run also extends to next year.

For context, Uphold did not particularly present this prediction. Instead, the crypto exchange also spotlighted it, exactly as presented by AI chatbot Grok. The Crypto Basic reported early this year that Uphold shared the $9 to $13 price target for XRP in January 2025, citing projections from Grok AI. 

Ripple Bull Winkle sought to remind the XRP community of the price prediction in his recent disclosure. However, Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, presented a contrary projection with a much more ambitious target, also ascribing it to the American exchange.

Claver Spotlights XRP to $1,000 Prediction

Claver called attention to a September 2024 post from Uphold, in which it asked investors what their next course of action would be if XRP ever claimed an audacious $1,000 price. Interestingly, Uphold’s September 2024 post was a reminder from the exchange of its original commentary in September 2020, when XRP traded for $0.25.

“Just in case you never saw this,” Claver told Bull Winkle. Notably, Claver has earned a reputation for his own bullish targets, especially the suggestion that XRP could reach $100 in 2025. However, again, Uphold did not particularly predict an XRP to $1,000 target. Instead, the exchange questioned what investors would do if it ever occurred.

Notably, both the $100 and $1,000 targets remain highly speculative for XRP at the current position. While XRP’s ability to reach these levels cannot be completely dismissed, the chances of hitting them this decade remain low. For perspective, XRP would need to rally by 5,247% to reach $100, and by a more substantial 53,375% to claim $1,000.
