XRP has officially entered a new price era — and if you scooped up your bags early, you’re sitting on gold.

As XRP continues its powerful rally above $3, prominent voices in the crypto space are saying what many are thinking: buying 1,000 XRP now is no joke — and it’s definitely not cheap.

🧠 “1,000 XRP Is Out of Reach for Many Now”

Crypto influencer Six8Jay pointed out a simple but painful truth: grabbing 1,000 XRP today will cost you nearly $3,600 — a price point many everyday investors simply can’t afford anymore.$XRP

XRP community voice Xena chimed in, calling it “insane” to see what used to be a casual buy now become a serious financial commitment. “If you got in early,” she said, “you were lucky — period.”

📈 From $500 to $3,580 — In Under a Year

Less than 12 months ago, 1,000 XRP would’ve cost you just $500 when the price hovered around $0.50.

Fast forward to now: XRP hit a high of $3.65, and as of writing, it's trading at $3.58. That’s a +616% gain — all within months.$XRP

What cost “pocket change” before now demands real capital.

💬 Why Experts Say 1,000 XRP Is Still the Magic Number

Even before this rally, top analysts were urging investors to accumulate at least 1,000 XRP.

In June 2025, Edoardo Farina (founder of Alpha Lion Academy) warned investors to act before October, when 1,000 XRP was still affordable at $2,180–$2,300.

He referenced comments by ECB President Christine Lagarde, highlighting Europe’s push toward digital cash — a trend XRP is positioned to benefit from heavily, especially in cross-border payments.

💰 What Comes Next? A $50K Forecast

According to expert Dustin Layton, those holding 1,000 XRP today should prepare for a minimum profit of $50,000 by year-end 2025.

Even at today’s buy-in cost of $3,600, that’s a projected return of $46,400 — over 12x gains.

🎯 Final Thought

If you're holding 1,000 XRP — congratulations. If you're planning to buy? You’ll need deeper pockets than you did just a few months ago. Either way, the message is clear: XRP’s cheap days are over.
