A well-known XRP ($XRP) market commentator has boldly suggested that XRP is on track to reach a price level where the average investor will only be able to afford mere “dust” — tiny fractions of the token.
This prediction comes from Xena, a vocal community pundit who remains confident in XRP’s explosive price potential. Recently, XRP finally broke past the stubborn $3 barrier after multiple failed attempts. Riding on this momentum, Xena highlighted just how little $1,000 gets you now.
💰 $1,000 Now Gets Only 315 XRP
At the current price of $3.17, $1,000 only buys around 315 XRP. When Xena first made her comment, it was slightly higher — about 330 XRP — showing how fast the number is dropping.
Xena and other community commentators, like Edoardo Farina, believe this trend will continue. When XRP hit $2, Farina noted that retail investors were already being priced out. Now at $3+, that reality is becoming even clearer.
A recent report by The Crypto Basic underlines this shift. Today, owning just 2,400 XRP — enough to enter the top 10% of the XRP Rich List — is out of reach for the average salary earner in the U.S. or U.K. without saving for months. Just a year ago, it was a different story: in July 2024, XRP traded at around $0.48, meaning $1,000 would have bought over 2,000 XRP. Today, it buys only 315.
⚡️ “Dust” Will Be the New Norm for Many
Xena predicts that this number will keep shrinking. If XRP reaches $5 — just a 57% jump from current levels — many small investors will find it “dramatically too high” to buy meaningful amounts. Instead, they’ll settle for fractions — or “dust.”
This mirrors what happened with Bitcoin: in 2014, $1,000 bought about 4 BTC at $250 each. Today, it buys only 0.008 BTC — just dust compared to a full coin.
Xena believes the same future awaits XRP unless investors have significant capital to deploy. Amassing even 1,000 XRP may soon feel out of reach for everyday buyers.
