Crypto Expert Predicts $1,000 XRP: Can Ripple Repeat Bitcoin’s Rise?

XRP is currently retesting important levels after a brief rally. While far-fetched XRP price predictions have been doing rounds lately, crypto commentator BarriC in a recent X post shared that once XRP hits the $100 mark, the price could skyrocket to $1,000.

BarriC believes that one day, people will be willing to pay $100 for one XRP. Once that price starts to feel normal and is seen as a good entry point, he says XRP could quickly rise to $1,000. He thinks people would still buy it at that price because they want to be part of the future global financial system.

In the comments, many agreed. They pointed out that when Bitcoin was cheap, most people doubted it would ever go up. Now, XRP is facing the same kind of doubt. But history shows that markets can change fast—sometimes in surprising ways. The big question is: can XRP follow Bitcoin’s path or maybe go even further? Only time will tell.

Ripple President Monica Long in the  2025 Crypto Outlook predicts that DeFi will expand into traditional finance, allowing 24/7 markets for FX, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds. She expects 10 of 15 global banks, including Deutsche Bank, HSBC, UBS, and State Street, to launch tokenized offerings in 2025. 

XRP’s Phased Timeline

Ashley Prosper, a crypto enthusiast, recently shared insights from his conversation with ChatGPT over XRP’s future. It was a phased adoption timeline depending on favorable regulatory outcomes for Ripple.

In Phase 1 (2025–2027), the focus would be on achieving regulatory clarity and expanding Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity network globally where XRP’s price could reach $400-$500. 

The price could further surge to $2,000-$2,500 in the phase 2 (2028-2032) as regional payment systems and smaller financial institutions start adopting XRPL. 

In the third phase (2033-2040), widespread adoption in traditional financial markets could push XRP to $10,000–$13,000. And beyond 2040, if XRP evolves into a core component of the global financial system, it could possibly breach $20,000.
