XRP$XRP Could Soon Be Out of Reach for Average Investors, Analyst Warns

XRPone of the top-performing cryptocurrencies in 2025, may be on track to reach a price level where most retail investors can only afford “dust” — small fractional holdings.

This observation comes from market analyst Xena, who has been vocal about XRP’s growth potential following its recent breakout above $3. After months of resistance, XRP$XRP now trades around $3.17, reducing how much investors can accumulate with limited capital.

$1,000 Now Only Buys 315 XRP$XRP

At the current price, an investment of $1,000 yields approximately 315 XRP, compared to over 2,000 XRP one year ago when the token traded near $0.48.

Xena emphasized that if XRP continues on this trajectory, average investors will struggle to build significant positions, a concern previously echoed by analyst Edoardo Farina when XRP was at $2.

Data shows that achieving a spot in the top 10 XRP Rich List now requires roughly 2,400 XRP — a target increasingly difficult for many U.S. and U.K. earners unless they save for months.

Possible Future Similar to Bitcoin

Xena draws parallels to Bitcoin’s price journey, where a $1,000 investment in 2014 could buy 4 BTC at $250 each, but today only secures 0.008 BTC.

She believes XRP could follow a similar path:

> “At $5, most people will only afford fractions of XRP, and building holdings of 1,000 tokens or more will feel out of reach.”

This shift highlights how XRP’s increasing price could transform it into a premium digital asset, favoring early adopters and high-capital investors.
