XRP advocate Armando Pantoja has outlined how he believes market sentiment will evolve as the token climbs from single digits into triple and even four-digit territory.
His framework mirrors similar ultra-bullish outlooks from other pro-XRP commentators who see today’s $3 XRP as merely the beginning. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $3.06, holding steady after days of volatility.
Early Stages: From $4 to $15
According to Pantoja, XRP at $4 would still be dismissed by skeptics, who would mock the move as insignificant. Notably, from today’s price, XRP only needs to surge 31% to break above $4.
Meanwhile, as XRP pushes toward the $10–$15 range, Pantoja expects discomfort from sidelined investors. He sees many insisting they’ll wait for a dip below $1 to buy back in.
This aligns with earlier commentary from BarriC. He forecasted that around these levels, critics would stop ignoring XRP and begin questioning why the asset continues to rise after years of underperformance compared to Bitcoin.
Panic Mode at $100
The real turning point, according to Pantoja, would be at the $100 mark. At that stage, panic would set in. Detractors who once dismissed XRP would realize the move was far more significant than anticipated.
This projection echoes Black Swan Capitalist’s Versan Aljarrah, who has argued that XRP priced in the hundreds would reflect its role as a bridge asset for tokenized finance, enabling trillions in real-time settlements across borders.
Notably, Aljarrah believes a $3 XRP price is unsustainable in a tokenized economy, as its liquidity would be too limited for large-scale flows. His view suggests that much higher valuations are a necessity rather than speculation.
Full-Blown Mania at $1,000
At the four-digit threshold, Pantoja predicts “full-blown FOMO” alongside a supply crunch, with investors scrambling to secure even a single XRP. This outlook is consistent with past community predictions that XRP’s limited supply, coupled with transaction burns, will eventually create scarcity as institutional demand surges.
Interestingly, some, like crypto founder Jake Claver, go even further. He has boldly argued that XRP may need to reach $10,000 to handle trillion-dollar institutional transactions efficiently. While such valuations raise eyebrows due to market cap implications, advocates maintain that higher prices are essential for scalability.
Skeptics’ Angle
Despite the bullish scenarios, skepticism remains strong. At a $1,000 valuation, XRP would imply a market cap of around $59 trillion. This figure far exceeds today’s global equity markets. Critics argue that such targets are detached from realistic market structures.
XRP remains at $3.06, a far cry from the scenarios painted by Pantoja and others. Yet within the XRP community, the prevailing belief is that current levels represent the last opportunity to accumulate cheaply before the token’s role in the global financial system drives prices far higher.
