XRP Price Can Hit $1000 by 2030, Says Analyst Drawing Direct Comparison With Bitcoin Market Cap Logic

Most people who throw out a $1,000 XRP price target do it anonymously on social media. Dom Kwok did it on a podcast, with his name attached, and when the hosts pushed back he did not flinch once.

Appearing on Rollup alongside his brother, Kwok said XRP could reach $1,000 over the next four to five years, a call that drew immediate scepticism from the hosts who pointed out the market cap implications would be larger than the entire planet’s combined assets.

His response was, “There isn’t really a ceiling in crypto.”

The Market Cap Question

When pressed on the mathematics behind the call, Kwok turned the question around.

“Look at Bitcoin. Why is Bitcoin valued more than most major companies? Bitcoin does not actually do anything,” he said. “When you look at crypto and market caps, there isn’t any ceiling I think.”

His point was not that market cap calculations are irrelevant. It was that crypto has repeatedly broken the frameworks people use to dismiss it. Bitcoin at $1,000 seemed impossible once. So did $10,000. So did $100,000.

Kwok is locking in his view with a bet on 2030 as the timeline. The Rollup hosts said the conviction gap between the claim and conventional analysis as, in their words, “insane.”

Beyond the Price Target

The more substantive part of Kwok’s argument was not the number itself but the thesis behind it.

He argued that the XRP community has been operating on an outdated premise. The “Ripple replaces SWIFT” narrative was a valid entry point, he said, but the story has moved well beyond that.

What Ripple has actually built is something larger. The Hidden Road acquisition for $1.25 billion brought a prime brokerage clearing over $3 trillion in trades onto the XRPL. Ripple Treasury, launched in April, gave CFOs a single platform to manage fiat and digital assets together for the first time. RLUSD is live, regulated and expanding across multiple chains. On-chain developer funding is growing.

“The future is not just about replacing one system,” Kwok said. “It is about bringing the entire financial world on-chain.”
