XRP $10 By 2027? Top Expert Flags Two Must-Happen Catalysts For A Bull Run
In the race to determine whether XRP can mount a real rally toward the $10 level next year, one market expert, Sam Daodu, argues that the answer depends less on hype and more on whether two major forces finally line up.
Daodu says nearly every serious XRP price forecast for 2027 relies on the same prerequisites: US regulation has to be clarified, and institutional capital has to begin flowing in at a meaningful scale. Without both, the upside case becomes harder to justify, even if parts of the story are already moving in the right direction.
Mixed Progress For XRP Price
Daodu’s latest report stresses that, at the moment, neither prerequisite is fully in place. He points to continuing regulatory uncertainty as the key blocker for institutions.
In his view, the currently stalled CLARITY Act is the legislation that could change the price dynamics by permanently establishing XRP’s position as a digital commodity—an outcome that, if it materializes, would likely remove a major share of the risk institutions are still pricing in.
That said, the report frames the situation as a “mixed progress” scenario rather than a clear-cut bull market versus bear market. On the positive side, several catalysts connected to a potential rally are already showing up.
Exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows, for instance, have reportedly remained positive without a single outflow day since April 9. Daodu treats that steady demand as an important signal that market participation is still present.
Beyond ETF flow data, Daodu highlights on-chain activity as another supportive element. According to the report, whales have been withdrawing roughly 7 billion XRP from exchanges since February, and large holders appear to be driving a significant portion of those movements.
Even with these bullish indicators, Daodu argues they aren’t arriving with the speed or scale that the $5–$10 outlook depends on. He emphasizes that institutional money—described as essential to those higher targets—still hasn’t shown up at the level required to match an “instant” re-rating of XRP.
Why The Next 60 Days Are Key
To reach above $10, the report argues XRP would need a rare alignment of several events. Daodu says the CLARITY Act would have to pass, ETF inflows would need to scale toward the $4–$8 billion range, and Bitcoin (BTC) would have to lead a wider rally that accelerates demand across the altcoin complex.
In short, pushing XRP toward $10 is not framed as the most likely path; it’s presented as a scenario that requires multiple catalysts to land correctly at the right time.
Daodu concludes with what he believes XRP holders should monitor over the next 60 days: the Senate Banking Committee markup before May 21. In his view, this is a key near-term checkpoint. If the markup clears, the bull case remains intact, and $7 becomes a more realistic anchor price for the market’s expectations.
If, however, the process stalls in May, the report suggests the outcome could be pushed out and possibly delayed until 2027. In that event, regulatory delay could cap XRP’s price at around $3 for much of that year—unless Bitcoin triggers another explosive run.
