Crypto analyst and trader BarriC has made waves in the XRP community with a bold long-term forecast: XRP could eventually hit $1,000 per token. In a recent tweet, the market commentator shared a projected price roadmap for the digital asset, emphasizing its future utility in global banking and finance.
$XRP will become very expensive to buy in the next few months and the next few years

Right now, you can accumulate $XRP below $3
And somehow that’s considered a failure
When $XRP skyrockets over the next few months and hits $10-$20 per #XRP
That’s the new all time high…
XRP Below $3 Is No Failure, Says BarriC
Currently trading under $3, XRP is often criticized as underperforming compared to other altcoins. But BarriC sees this price point as a deep discount rather than a disappointment. He predicts XRP will break out during the next altcoin market cycle, potentially reaching a new all-time high between $10 and $20 within the coming months. This, he believes, will be driven by a bullish altseason rally that typically lifts major altcoins to new peaks.
Post-Surge Correction and Long-Term Support Levels
BarriC warns that XRP’s surge won’t be without volatility. He expects a correction of around 50% following its altseason peak—mirroring historical patterns dating back to 2016. Should that occur, the asset could retrace to a support range between $5 and $10, forming what he sees as a long-term buy zone for strategic investors. This range, according to him, could serve as a base for XRP’s next major growth phase.
$1,000 XRP and the End of Volatility
Looking beyond the current market cycle, BarriC envisions XRP becoming a core component of global financial infrastructure. As banks and financial institutions increasingly adopt XRP for cross-border payments and other operations, he argues that the asset’s demand and utility will surge. This institutional adoption, in his view, could eventually push XRP to $1,000.

At that stage, BarriC believes XRP will no longer be subject to the wild volatility seen in today’s crypto markets. With trillions of dollars potentially flowing through the network annually, the price could stabilize, making fractional ownership of a single XRP token a valuable stake in what he calls “the new financial system.”
