Market Expert Predicts New Timeline for XRP to Hit $100

While market participants await an XRP run beyond its all-time high, some analysts are already projecting timelines for a rally to three digits.

Notably, XRP has been on an upward trajectory since May 8 amid the ongoing market-wide recovery campaign, which has seen Bitcoin (BTC) breach the $100,000 milestone. Despite still trading within the $2 region, XRP has slipped into the upper end of the price mark for the first time in nearly two months.

Market Expert Predicts Timeline for XRP to $100

As optimism around a rally to $3 builds, some market commentators are already eyeing the $100 mark. Interestingly, one such market commentator, BarriC, predicts bold timelines for the crypto asset to claim the $100 price milestone. 

In a statement on X, BarriC suggested that the $100 price level would serve as the stepping stone for a much greater rally toward four digits. Considering this potential, the analyst insisted that an XRP rally to $1,000 would come sooner than many expect.

According to him, XRP would quickly push to the $100 price. He expects this to materialize this year, 2025, a bold forecast, considering XRP would need to appreciate by a massive 3,821% from the current price of $3.55 to claim the $100 milestone.

This remains one of the most audacious predictions around the $100 price. Notably, while others have presented forecasts of XRP reaching $100, most have suggested that it could take a few years and a massive expansion of the overall global crypto market. 

Contrasting Timelines

For instance, finance expert Linda Jones sees XRP hitting $100 but does not expect it to happen this year. Moreover, in March 2023, CryptoCharged’s Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Brienen, boldly predicted that XRP could trade anywhere from $100 to $1,000. However, he believes this will happen in the next ten years.

Meanwhile, analysts at crypto platforms Telegaon and Changelly also see the $100 materializing, but, like others, they do not expect it to happen soon. While Changelly analysts believe XRP could reach $100 in 2034, nine years from now, those at Telegaon expect it to happen between 2035 and 2040.

Only a Steppingstone

While BarriC presents the most ambitious timeline among market experts, he also believes the $100 price is only a stepping stone toward greater levels. In his recent commentary, he suggested that once XRP claims $100 in 2025, it would immediately skyrocket from this level to the $1,000 mark by 2026/2027.

Notably, most analysts, even those bullish on XRP, believe a rally to $100 this year is near impossible. Earlier this year, finance expert Rajat Soni criticized people predicting an XRP to $100 price in this cycle. According to him, such individuals have a mental disability.

For context, XRP currently trades for $2.55 with a market cap of $150 billion. It would need a 3,821% increase to reach $100 from here, with its market cap soaring to $5.855 billion, higher than the overall crypto market cap of $3.33 trillion. Meanwhile, Jake Claver insisted that even if XRP hits $100, it won’t change an investor’s life if they don’t have a proper exit strategy.
