With XRP currently trading around $2.3, a holding of 5,000 tokens is worth approximately $11,500, reflecting a significant surge from just $2,500 a year ago—a nearly 5x increase. However, the price remains 37% below its yearly high of $3.66 in July 2025, when the same amount would have valued at nearly $20,000. This dip is seen by some as a potential entry point, emphasizing that short-term fluctuations may pale in comparison to long-term gains.
Long-term projections from industry experts fuel optimism. Crypto exchange Changelly forecasts XRP reaching $115 by December 2034, which would turn 5,000 XRP into $575,000—a 5,000% jump. Telegaon predicts a rise to $87 by 2035, valuing the holding at around $435,000, while Matthew Brienen, COO of CryptoCharged, envisions $1,000 per XRP by 2035, potentially making 5,000 tokens worth $5 million. Looking further, Changelly suggests XRP could hit $2,138 by 2040, pushing the value beyond $10.6 million.
Developer Vincent Van Code added to the fervor with a bold claim, stating XRP could reach $5,000 "that quickly" in a satirical post warning against missed opportunities. This would represent a 192,000% increase from current levels, turning a $50,000 investment in 20,000 XRP into $100 million. Though viewed as ambitious, such predictions draw parallels to Bitcoin's early days, where buying at $0.05 versus $1 became irrelevant as prices soared.
Ripple's recent achievements underpin this bullish sentiment. The company secured a $500 million strategic funding round at a $40 billion valuation, led by Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, with participation from Pantera Capital and Galaxy Digital. CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted 2025 as a "record year," citing over $95 billion in payment volume through Ripple Payments, a $1 billion market cap for its RLUSD stablecoin, and six acquisitions, reinforcing XRP's potential in global finance and cross-border payments.
