This regulatory movement is one of the factors market observers believe is bringing XRP back into the spotlight. Meanwhile, Ripple’s recent acquisition of GTreasury for $1 billion has been noted by analysts as a significant step towards entering the $120 trillion corporate treasury market.
These developments collectively sustain a sense of optimism among traders and community members.
Analyst Predicts Accelerated Timeline
In social media discussions, the analyst known as 24hrscrypto1 has expressed to followers that “something big is brewing” and reaffirmed a previously mentioned $100 price target for XRP, hinting that this milestone may arrive sooner than the previously suggested timeline of 2030.
With current trading around $2.60, hitting $100 would signify approximately a 4,000% increase from today’s price. Other commentators have also presented comparable high-end projections.
Something big is going on..
All I can say is, we will see a $100 XRP way before 2030

For instance, CryptoCharged COO Matthew Brienen has labeled a $100–$1,000 range as “highly feasible” within a 5 to 10-year timeframe, referencing its use in cross-border payments.
Wealth mentor Linda Jones shared a personal anecdote to illustrate her point: a $100 investment once purchased around 400 XRP at $0.25 each, but that same $100 today would acquire fewer than 35 XRP, which some interpret as a sign of increasing scarcity.
Institutional Buying and Supply Dynamics
Some analysts suggest that consistent purchasing by banks and funds has been occurring quietly during times of volatility. Should substantial holders keep increasing their positions while trading liquidity contracts, the market could encounter a misalignment of supply and demand, leading to rapid price surges.
This forms the foundation for highly ambitious predictions. However, whether institutions will retain XRP long-term or utilize it actively for transactions remains an essential uncertainty that will shape the narrative going forward.
Market Movements and Community Energy
Community sentiment remains a significant force. A noted commentator using the name UnknowDLT has remarked that XRP represents one of the major opportunities for not only this generation but future ones, which helps keep retail interest elevated.
XRP will end up being one of the greatest opportunities of not only our lifetime, but many to come.

Nevertheless, volatility persists: XRP dropped to about $1.20 earlier this month during a broader market pullback, illustrating how quickly gains can evaporate under changing conditions.
