In the social network X (formerly Twitter), user Abraham Liim stated that the price of XRP $2.29 at $10,000 "is not a fantasy" and is justified by market logic, demand for fast and regulated settlements, as well as global financial flows.
XRP supporters emphasize that the role of the US dollar as a global currency may diminish due to rising national debt and inflationary risks. According to data, since 1971 the dollar has lost 96% of its purchasing power, and servicing the US debt costs the country over $1 trillion annually. Given the growth of the real asset market (RWA), which could reach $16−30 trillion by 2030, XRP is viewed as a tool capable of accelerating global transactions and ensuring compliance.
The author of the loud statement notes that the XRP infrastructure is already ready for institutional use: RippleNet collaborates with over 300 banks, ODL operates on 6 continents, and RLUSD is a regulated stablecoin that underpins trust in the project. Enthusiasts believe that even a small share of XRP's participation in international transfers and the tokenized asset market could sharply increase its value.
However, analysts note that a price of $10,000 per coin would require a total market capitalization of over $530 trillion, which currently looks unrealistic. Therefore, such a scenario is unlikely unless XRP becomes the dominant instrument in all global financial flows.
In the short term, XRP is trading at $2.30 - the daily increase was 2.7%. Analyst Steph is Crypto published a chart demonstrating a likely breakout in the coming days: XRP, in his estimation, is finishing the fourth wave of consolidation and is ready for the fifth wave with targets of $5.36, $11.28, $23.73, and even $37.55.
