The idea of the XRP price reaching $1,000 has once again gained traction as a social media platform X user called Drewski called for the Ripple community to unite in driving XRP to the unprecedented price level. While Drewski’s post reignited the conversation, the $1,000 price target is far from new, as it has been a goal shared by many XRP investors for years.
Bold $1,000 Price Target For XRP
Drewski’s comment on XRP echoes the entire cryptocurrency investor community. Particularly, it can be inferred that the investor is confident that the combined strength of the Ripple community can trigger a historic price surge for XRP.
Interestingly, the bullish price target for XRP is primarily driven by sentiment rather than technical analysis. However, XRP is no stranger to very bullish price targets when viewed through the lens of technical analysis. For instance, renowned crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO has provided analysis indicating that XRP could be on a trajectory towards $27. In another technical analysis, the analyst highlighted the possibility of XRP surging further to $99.
How Feasible Is The $1,000 Price Target?
While the prediction is exciting, there are skeptics who question whether XRP can realistically reach $1,000. Critics highlight the enormous market capitalization required to reach this level. For XRP to hit the $1,000 mark, it would either need to achieve a market cap of $99.99 trillion based on its current total supply or burn most of its supply. Many critics are also quick to point out the regulatory uncertainties surrounding XRP and Ripple.
If you ask many crypto participants, many will call XRP dead, considering the crypto has performed poorly than many expected in recent years.
Currently, XRP is trading at a fraction of the $1,000 target. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.5515. The cryptocurrency has been down by 0.7% in the past 24 hours but remains up by 2.5% in a seven-day timeframe.

To reach the price target, XRP would need to go on a 1,800x price surge from the current level, which would make many of its holders multi-millionaires. Therefore, the prospect of such a move has kept the dream of a $1,000 price target alive for many XRP enthusiasts. A more realistic dream would see XRP break above the $1 mark before reaching the double-digit threshold at $10.
For XRP to go on a steady rally, it would need to continue growing in adoption in the traditional financial system. Furthermore, a final resolution to the ongoing Ripple-SEC lawsuit is needed, as achieving regulatory clarity could bring the dream of a $1,000 XRP closer to reality than ever before.
