XRP has embarked on a bullish run alongside the broader cryptocurrency market recovery, marked by Bitcoin (BTC) surging past the $100,000 milestone. Despite still trading in the $2 range, XRP has managed to secure the upper end of its price range for the first time in nearly two months, creating a wave of speculation about a potential rally to $100.
Market Analysts Split on XRP’s Path to $100
The boldest prediction yet comes from market commentator BarriC, who asserts that XRP could hit $100 by the end of 2025. BarriC’s forecast is aggressive, given that XRP would need a 3,821% surge from its current price of $2.55 to reach $100. However, he believes the $100 mark would serve as a mere stepping stone for a subsequent rally to $1,000 by 2026/2027.

In contrast, other analysts, including Linda Jones and Matthew Brienen, anticipate a slower climb. Jones predicts the $100 milestone, but not until much later. Brienen, on the other hand, has projected a price range of $100 to $1,000 for XRP but over a more extended timeline of the next decade.
Caution Amid Bold Predictions
Despite the optimistic forecasts, some analysts are urging caution. Financial expert Rajat Soni has dismissed the notion of XRP reaching $100 in this cycle, calling such predictions overly ambitious. Additionally, analyst Jake Claver emphasized that even if XRP reaches the $100 mark, without a proper exit strategy, the impact on investors’ portfolios could be negligible.
As XRP continues to garner bullish sentiment, the road to $100 remains speculative, hinging on broader market dynamics and investor sentiment. The debate over whether XRP can achieve this ambitious price target within the suggested timeline underscores the ongoing divide in market sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency.
