XRP community member and social media user 'Lord XRP' posted a statement on X declaring that, '#XRP WILL SOON REPEAT THAT', along with a screenshot of historical data from CoinMarketCap showing XRP traded at $3.11 with a market capitalization exceeding $120 billion.
This image reflects the moment when XRP ranked second in global cryptocurrency market capitalization, just after Bitcoin and before Ethereum, a position that is no longer held.
The attached image, possibly from early January 2018, shows XRP reaching an all-time high of $3.11 with a 24-hour trading volume of over $5.6 billion and a circulating supply of 38.7 billion XRP.
At that time, the token recorded a 24-hour increase of 29.70%, highlighting the rise in investor interest during the peak of the previous major cryptocurrency bull run. According to Lord XRP's post, the current market context suggests that a similar price level may soon be reconsidered.
Community members still have hope
While Lord XRP's post focuses on historical data, additional comments from other X users also contribute to the sentiment within the XRP community.
A user named Sophia replied to the post saying, 'I hope that as you said, XRP will shine in the near future!' Her comment reflects the optimism of long-term XRP holders, many of whom anticipate that prices will return to previous highs after regulations become clearer and the market recovers more broadly.
Investor sentiment and historical comparison
The use of the CoinMarketCap image is central to Lord XRP's message. The post is not only a nostalgic look at the 2017–2018 bull market but also a statement that such valuations could be achieved again.
The XRP community continues to monitor signs of institutional adoption, management progress, and ongoing developments at Ripple, such as the acquisition of Hidden Road, viewing them as main catalysts that could drive XRP back to the $3.11 level.
Lord XRP's post did not provide a specific timeframe or catalyst for the price prediction. Instead, the tweet serves as a reminder of XRP's achievements and a call for confidence in its future. For many in the community, such historical context reinforces their belief that XRP is undervalued compared to its past and its potential.
