Some cryptocurrency enthusiasts are making bold predictions about XRP. They suggest that buying just 1,000 tokens could secure investors' futures by the end of this decade.
## Online influencers drive optimistic price targets for XRP
Based on comments on social media, XRP supporter Duefe recently stated that having 1,000 coins could be enough to achieve 'a happy and free life' by 2029. This is a notable prediction considering current prices. With the current price of $2.17 per token, 1,000 XRP would be worth $2,170.
For this modest investment to equal $1 million, a figure that many believe is necessary for early retirement, each XRP would have to reach $1,000. This type of expansion would require a price increase of more than 45,900% from where they are today.
1,000 XRP is enough for a happy and free life.
Just hold until 2029. $XRP

Other voices within the XRP universe agree. Edo Farina, one of the most well-known advocates, has described the decision not to have a minimum of 1,000 XRP as 'madness,' according to reports within the crypto space.
Not owning AT LEAST 1,000 $XRP is the definition of madness.

Wallet data shows limited distribution
Statistics from the XRP Rich List indicate that only 230,500 wallets currently hold between 500 and 1,000 units. Of the 6.38 million total wallets, only 10% (approximately 638,000) have 2,500 tokens or more.
These statistics indicate that if such astronomical price increases were to occur, wealth would be in the hands of a relatively small number of early investors.
### Price projections vary considerably among experts
Not all predictions point as high as $1,000 per token. Some estimate that XRP could reach at least $25 by 2029. While this is far below the $1,000 needed to turn 1,000 XRP into $1 million, it would still be a return of about 1,000% above the current price.
Others think that the price of $1,000 could be reached, but over a longer period of around a decade.
### The number of XRP holders remains stable at 4.81 million over the last month
Meanwhile, the number of XRP holders on the main network has remained incredibly stable between March 18 and April 15, hovering near the 4.81 million mark according to data from CoinCarp. The stability indicates that investor sentiment towards XRP has been steady, with no signs of large-scale accumulation or large-scale outflows.$XRP
In the face of market uncertainty or price swings over the same period, XRP holders seem to hold firm, which perhaps indicates faith in the token's long-term value or a wait-and-see attitude among retail and institutional players alike. Data also suggests a more mature base of holders who do not irrationally respond to short-term price fluctuations.
