U.S.-based crypto exchange Uphold has once again set the XRP community abuzz with a tweet suggesting the XRP price could reach $1,000.
The platform posed a familiar question to its followers, prompting them to imagine their next move if XRP were to hit that milestone. The post quickly went viral, surpassing 1 million views and attracting thousands of comments.

For context, this is not the first time Uphold has toyed with the idea of an XRP moonshot to $1,000. Between 2020 and 2022, the exchange repeatedly asked followers how they would react if XRP reached the four-digit milestone.
It did so again in September 2024, and a year later, Uphold is bringing the XRP-to-$1,000 conversation back again.
Although never intended as a formal forecast, these tweets continue to spark excitement every time they resurface. As of today, XRP is currently trading at $2.77 and has a long journey toward the $1,000 level.
XRP Community Reacts With Big Dreams
Responses to Uphold’s post ranged from bold wealth strategies to cautious financial planning. User Digiknowassets laid out a simple plan to cash out half of their holdings when the coin reaches $1,000. The next step would be to buy Bitcoin with 25% and “HODL” the remaining 25%.
Another commenter said she would sell only 5% of her holdings. Randall Archer said he wouldn’t tell anyone, instead paying off debt and reducing work hours.
Meanwhile, Jason Cramer noted he would begin building cash flow opportunities for himself, his family, and his support circle.
The diversity of reactions highlights the life-changing potential many investors attach to the possibility of a four-digit XRP.
What a $1,000 XRP Would Mean
At today’s price of $2.83, XRP would need to soar by more than 35,200% to reach $1,000. Such a milestone would push its market capitalization above $60 trillion, surpassing the valuations of Apple, Microsoft, and even gold.
For perspective, a $1,000 investment at today’s price would be worth over $353,000 if XRP reaches $1,000. Similarly, an investor holding 1,000 XRP (worth $2,830 today) would see their portfolio swell to $1 million.
Uphold’s Unique Role in the XRP Story
Notably, the exchange holds one of the largest XRP reserves among trading platforms. Specifically, Uphold’s XRP holdings exceed 2 billion XRP tokens worth over $6 billion. It ranks among the top four XRP custodians, behind Ripple, Binance, and Bithumb.
Uphold CEO Simon McLoughlin attributed this feat to Uphold’s unwavering support during the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. It was the only major U.S. exchange that never delisted XRP.
Meanwhile, the exchange has partnered with Ripple in areas such as cross-border settlement and RLUSD stablecoin distribution. These ties fuel speculation that Uphold’s engagement with the $1,000 narrative is more than rhetorical.
Ultimately, Uphold’s repeated posts have made the $1,000 goal a regular part of the XRP community’s hopes. Notably, some argue the price level is unrealistic, but the conversation continues to drive engagement and strengthen the community’s belief in XRP’s long-term potential.
