The XRP community is abuzz as the token continues its remarkable rally, crossing the $3 mark and climbing toward new highs. With XRP$XRP

now trading at $3.58, industry voices say accumulating 1,000 XRP has become an increasingly difficult—and expensive—goal for the average retail investor.


Early Investors Hit the Jackpot


According to several crypto analysts and influencers, those who bought XRP when it was trading under $1 have made a deal of a lifetime. Not long ago, 1,000 XRP could be acquired for just $500. Today, that same amount will cost nearly $3,600—an increase of over 600% in less than a year.


“Thinking you could buy 1,000 XRP$XRP for under $1,000 just months ago feels unreal now,” said James Jay, better known as ‘Six8Jay’ on crypto Twitter. He added that reaching this kind of position is no longer feasible for many retail traders due to budget constraints.


Xena, another prominent figure in the XRP space, echoed the sentiment, calling it “insane” how far XRP has come in such a short time. “People don’t realize how lucky early investors were. This kind of opportunity doesn’t come twice,” she tweeted.


Why 1,000 XRP Is a Must-Have, According to Experts


Before XRP’s most recent rally, crypto strategist Edoardo Farina advised his followers to accumulate a minimum of 1,000 XRP before October 2025. At the time, 1,000 XRP was priced around $2,300—a figure that seems like a bargain compared to today.


Farina pointed to growing support for digital currencies by central banks, particularly comments by ECB President Christine Lagarde. He suggested that XRP could become a key player in cross-border payments within the Eurozone.


Future Outlook: $50K Return?


Crypto analyst Dustin Layton believes this is just the beginning. In a recent statement, he projected that 1,000 XRP could be worth at least $50,000 by the end of 2025. If true, that would mean a potential return of $46,400 on today’s $3,600 investment.


While that may sound ambitious, many in the XRP community are optimistic. The sentiment is clear: those holding XRP now might still be early—but not for long.
