    What Would It Take for XRP Price to Reach $100?

    • currency-symbol XRP $ 2.19 (-0.97%) top looser
    Story Highlights
    • New XRP ETFs reignite the $100 debate as analysts show that strong institutional inflows—similar to Bitcoin’s ETF boom—could push XRP toward double-digit prices.

    • Cheeky Crypto’s model suggests $30B in net inflows could drive XRP to $100, with $50B potentially sending it past $150 as demand multiplies market impact.

    The launch of two new XRP ETFs has brought back the debate about whether the XRP Price could reach $100. While that price has often seemed unrealistic, these ETFs give institutions easier access, making the discussion more about numbers and possibilities than just speculation. 

    The real question now is not if XRP will hit $100, but what it would take for that to happen.

    Crypto analyst, Cheeky Crypto, started digging into the numbers. And for the first time, the math gave a clear picture of what would need to happen for XRP to ever reach $100.

    What Bitcoin’s ETF Era Tells Us About Big Price Moves

    When the first Bitcoin spot ETFs launched in January 2024, no one expected them to reshape the market. But within two years, those ETFs pulled in around $62 billion. At the same time, about $24 billion in Bitcoin was taken off exchanges, moved to cold storage, or held long-term.

    That means roughly $38 billion of real new demand entered Bitcoin. The result was explosive.

    Bitcoin broke past all previous highs, crossed $100,000, and hit $126,000 by October 2025. Its market cap jumped from $750 billion to $2.5 trillion, a $1.76 trillion increase created by just $38 billion in net demand.

    That’s a multiplier of about 46×. In other words, every $1 of new buying power pushed the market cap up by about $46.

    Strong inflows didn’t just support Bitcoin; they overpowered the sellers and lifted the entire market up.

    What If XRP ETFs Bring Similar Demand?

    Now that XRP ETFs have launched, the big question is whether XRP could go through the same kind of move. XRP’s market cap is much smaller than Bitcoin’s, around $120 billion at a $2 price. Even modest buying can lift XRP’s price quickly.

    Institutions are already talking about possible inflows. JP Morgan mentioned $4–$8 billion as a starting estimate. The CEO of Canary Capital said $5–$10 billion in the first month isn’t impossible.

    Analyst cheeky reveals possible events that can drive XRP Price to $100

    $5 billion in new ETF demand

    With a multiplier between 50× and 100×, something XRP has touched during high-volatility moments, XRP could climb into the $6–$10 range.

    $30 billion in net inflows

    With a stronger 200× multiplier, which XRP has reached in past cycles, XRP could move toward $100.

    $50 billion in inflows

    If buying pressure dominates the market, the model points to $150+ per XRP.

    Is $100 XRP Realistic?

    Yes, according to Cheeky Crypto, it’s possible but not guaranteed. For XRP to reach $100, it needs sustained institutional inflows, supportive market sentiment, and a broader crypto uptrend.

    FAQs

    How do XRP ETFs affect XRP’s price?

    XRP ETFs boost demand by making investing easier for institutions, which can increase buying pressure and potentially drive long-term price growth.

    Why do ETF inflows matter for crypto prices?

    ETF inflows add steady, long-term demand, helping prices rise by reducing available supply and increasing confidence among larger investors.

    What could trigger major XRP inflows?

    Clear regulations, strong ETF adoption, and renewed market optimism could attract large institutional buyers and increase XRP’s long-term demand.
