A well-known member of the XRP community who goes by “Traveler” has urged holders to remain completely inactive with their XRP tokens until 2030. 

He shared this advice in a recent post, encouraging investors to take no action. After the post triggered discussions, Traveler returned to make his message clearer, confirming he meant that no one should sell their XRP, regardless of what happens in the market over the next few years.

“Do Nothing with XRP Until 2030”

This suggests Traveler believes XRP will reach much higher prices by 2030, even if it hits new highs soon. Essentially, selling too early could mean missing out on life-changing gains. 

Notably, his opinion matches the growing belief among XRP proponents that the real value of the token lies in long-term price movements, not in short-term jumps. Forecasts from several analysts back the growing sentiment. 

Long-Term XRP Price Targets

For instance, Changelly analysts predict XRP could start 2030 at $19.21 and climb to as much as $32.60 by year-end. Based on that estimate, anyone holding 10,000 XRP today, worth around $35,000 at a current price of $3.5, could see their investment rise to $326,000 in five years.

Notably, this is nearly $300,000 in potential profit, much more than what someone would make by selling at $5 or even $15 in the short term.

Meanwhile, Telegaon has a more bullish forecast. Their analysts expect XRP to reach a minimum of $36.86 and possibly touch $48.03 by 2030. If this plays out, those same 10,000 tokens would be worth roughly $480,000. This represents a $445,000 gain on today’s price.

Also, community figure BABA expects XRP to touch higher levels long-term. He didn’t tie his outlook to a specific year, but his expectations support long-term holding. 

Specifically, he sees a short-term price between $5 and $7 as realistic if XRP benefits from clear regulations. For the mid-term, he expects a $10 to $20 range with institutional involvement. Meanwhile, in the long term, he believes XRP could pass $100 if it becomes relevant in global liquidity and tokenized finance. 

Opinions from Other Community Figures

Interestingly, besides Traveler, other XRP community figures have advised against selling XRP too early. For one, Edoardo Farina warned earlier this month that selling at $10 would be a once-in-a-lifetime mistake. At the time, XRP still hovered around $2. 

Last month, The Crypto Basic reported him insisting that nothing, including wars, disasters, financial collapses, or even AI takeovers, would convince him to sell. He insisted that he plans to hold onto his XRP tokens all the way to the $100 price target.

Meanwhile, another XRP proponent, who has chosen to stay anonymous, warned that 99% of holders would sell too early, likely between $10 and $20. He believes XRP will eventually separate from Bitcoin’s price movements. Once that happens, he expects XRP to climb nonstop.

99% of XRP holders will sell between $10 and $20, not understanding that XRP is a key part of the new financial system we are entering. In the event of a bear market, it may go down, but if it is adopted, it WILL DECOUPLE from Bitcoin.

XRP WILL RISE WITHOUT EVER STOPPING.

However, analyst EGRAG Crypto holds a different sentiment. He has urged investors not to wait for a specific top but to take profits gradually. This approach will allow investors to lock in gains while still holding enough XRP to benefit from future price surges. This way, if a correction hits, they won’t miss the chance to profit along the way.

Tony “The Bull” Severino, a respected Chartered Market Technician, has predicted a timeline for XRP to hit the double-digit price milestone.

Severino’s latest market analysis comes as XRP rides on the broader market rebound effort to reclaim the $3 price mark for the first time in four months. After beating this stubborn resistance level, XRP has soared to a new yearly peak, pushing closer to price discovery.

However, market watchers like Severino believe the uptrend is still in its early stages. In his latest analysis, he highlighted what he calls the “final move” for XRP, suggesting that the altcoin has more upside potential from the current position.

XRP Breaks Large and Small Symmetrical Triangle Patterns

Notably, his commentary leveraged historical price movements to project when this final move could occur. Specifically, according to Severino, XRP may hit its cycle top within the next 40 days, consistent with the timeline it took to claim the 2018 bull run peak.

Data from the analyst’s chart shows an extensive symmetrical triangle that formed on the weekly timeframe for over seven years. Specifically, this triangle started taking shape after XRP collapsed from the $3.8 peak in January 2018. Amid XRP’s underperformance over the past few years, the triangle maintained its structure.

Interestingly, when XRP rallied past the $1 and $2 psychological levels in November 2024, it secured a breakout above the triangle. However, this breakout faced a roadblock at the $3.4 peak in January 2025, leading to what looks like a smaller symmetrical triangle or bull pennant.

This small triangle lasted for six months, and XRP recently broke above it as well on the back of the latest run to $3.6. Now, Tony Severino suggests this recent breakout could push further to a new all-time high of $13, marking a 261% increase from the current price and a 1,900% rise from the breakout point of the seven-year symmetrical triangle.

XRP’s Elliott Wave Structure

His chart also shows that XRP has been following an Elliott Wave structure since Q4 2024. Accordingly, the Wave 4 formed when XRP retraced from $3.4 in January to the $1.96 low in June 2025. Now, the recent breakout marks the start of Wave 5, potentially leading to the $13 peak. Severino expects XRP to reach this top within the next six weeks or 42 days.

Historical data shows the analyst’s projection is influenced by XRP’s 2017/2018 run. Specifically, after breaking out to $0.3988 in mid-2017, XRP entered a consolidation phase, similar to what happened from January. However, following a recovery, it took XRP six weeks to reach the cycle peak of $3.8 in January 2018.

Speaking further, Severino countered recent voices suggesting that a bear market would no longer materialize. He shared an Elliott Wave visual predicting that after the Wave 5 peak of $13, XRP could face a corrective ABC structure.
