XRP has been experiencing a rollercoaster ride in recent months, and according to Edoardo Farina, the worst mistake investors could make right now is to sell their holdings. 

Following a period of bearish pressure that began in February, the broader crypto market, including XRP, took a hit. XRP plummeted by nearly 30% in February 2025, followed by a more modest decline of 2.56% in March. The start of April didn’t look promising either, as the asset slumped to a five-month low of $1.61 on April 7.

However, signs of a broader market recovery have emerged. Bitcoin rallied from lows of $80,000 to $93,000, lifting sentiment across the crypto scene. XRP also began to recover, albeit at a slower pace.

On April 22, the token surged by 6.18%, then traded sideways the following day. It managed to touch $2.30 before easing to its current price of $2.17. This steady rebound has bolstered speculation of an upcoming breakout, and Farina has doubled down on his bullish outlook.

Edoardo Farina Warns Against Selling XRP Now

Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, believes XRP is on the brink of a major move and warns against selling now. 

According to a recent video commentary on X, he suggested that the massive red candle that struck both Bitcoin and XRP due to earlier market tensions, largely tied to geopolitical and economic uncertainties such as U.S. tariffs, has been fully neutralized.

He stressed that this bearish phase is over and suggested that a reversal pattern has already formed on XRP’s chart. As a result, Farina claimed, “Anyone who dares to click the sell button is gonna regret massively in the next months to come.” 

Potentially Bullish Macro Factors

He explained that major developments, such as the easing impact of tariffs and positive chart trends, have massively changed the trajectory for XRP in a positive way.

In addition, Farina called attention to potentially bullish macroeconomic factors. He highlighted that central banks, including the Federal Reserve and China’s monetary authorities, are ramping up money supply, which could flood markets with liquidity. 

Notably, with a rapid spike in M2 money supply, risk assets like XRP could benefit. Farina noted that all major assets are gaining against the dollar amid renewed currency debasement.

Bullish XRP Ecosystem Indicators

Further, he is particularly optimistic about XRP’s fundamental ecosystem. He stated that Ripple’s stablecoin and the rollout of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in Europe are building on top of the XRP Ledger. The analyst also pointed to the SEC lawsuit nearing resolution and growing demand for XRP ETFs as indicators of institutional confidence.

As XRP holds above $2, Farina stressed that the asset remains one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the current bull cycle. He issued a warning: “This is the worst moment in history to sell your XRPs.” 

The crypto founder looks to a future where holders won’t even need to sell their tokens to earn income. Instead, they could lend their XRP to banks as a passive income strategy, something he promises to elaborate on in future content.

Looking ahead, Farina concluded with a bold price prediction. He believes XRP could surge to $10 by the end of 2025. According to him, “$10 is coming 2025 (sic). You already know what I’m gonna make when XRP hits ten dollars.”

Although XRP is trading at around $2, prominent commentators in the XRP community continue to envision a future where the token is worth three to four digits.

The crypto market is in recovery mode after weeks of a harrowing price crash. XRP experienced its share of the downturn, dipping to $1.60, but has since rebounded to $2.25 today.

Meanwhile, XRP market commentators like BarriC see prices at these levels as an opportunity window for “cheap” accumulation before the asset becomes out of reach.

“People Will Happily Pay $100 for XRP”

In a bold statement, BarriC shared that XRP could eventually skyrocket to $1,000 per token. Notably, this price level represents a 44,344% increase from today’s value.

BarriC claimed that today’s price represents a bargain. He suggested that someday, investors will gladly pay $100 for a single XRP token, viewing the triple-digit price as the potential new “cheap” entry point for the asset when this occurs.

This implies that XRP’s price would have exceeded $100 at some point, but due to typical market retracements, it would dip back to that level, at which point market participants would see it as a new buying opportunity.

BarriC believes this hypothetical scenario would mark a psychological shift that could set the stage for even more explosive growth. Specifically, he claimed that once $100 becomes the new baseline entry point for XRP, the token could surge to $1,000 due to heightened buying pressure.

Interestingly, BarriC even envisions that people will eventually pay $1,000 per XRP to be part of a new global financial system, because, in his view, by then, there will be no denying XRP’s potential.

BarriC’s tweet taps into long-standing hopes among XRP holders. Many believe the token’s potential central role in the global financial infrastructure will drive its value upward.

Many in the XRP community share BarriC’s sentiment, including Alpha Lions Academy founder Edoardo Farina. In his view, even an XRP price of $50 could cause anxiety among investors longing for it to reach $100.

Speculative Timelines for XRP to Reach $100 and $1,000

In previous commentary, BarriC even set ambitious timelines for XRP to reach what he calls the “cheap” price of $100 and beyond. He claimed that by the sixth Bitcoin halving in 2032, XRP would be considered cheap in the $100 range and above.

Other market analysts suggest it could take longer for XRP to reach $100. For instance, Telegaon projects that XRP could be trading at $119 by 2040, with a potential high of $160 the same year. Meanwhile, Changelly has even suggested XRP could surpass $1,000 by 2040.

Critics Disagree

On the other hand, skeptics point to the massive market cap that such a price would imply to dismiss these projections as more wishful thinking than grounded analysis.

To put it in perspective: at a $1,000 price point, assuming XRP’s circulating supply remains steady at 58 billion, the market cap would be $58 trillion. At full supply, it could reach $100 trillion — a figure critics call far-fetched and disconnected from reality.
