Market Expert Says XRP Price Can Reach $100 If This Happens

Source Bitcoinist

A recent discussion within the XRP community has reignited speculation surrounding the token’s future price trajectory. The catalyst for this discussion was a bold prediction made by Crypto Tank, a prominent crypto analyst. He suggested that XRP could reach a $100 price target if it captures 10% of the daily transaction volume handled by SWIFT, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.

XRP’s Ambitious $100 Price Target: A Deep Dive

To provide context, SWIFT processed approximately $5 trillion in daily transactions as of June 2022. If XRP were to secure 10% of this volume, it would equate to handling roughly $500 billion in daily transactions. This significant increase in transaction volume could potentially drive a substantial rise in XRP’s price. 

This figure is in stark contrast to XRP’s current average daily transaction volume of about $1 billion. However, to achieve this hypothetical milestone, the digital asset’s volume would need to increase by a factor of 500. Interestingly, this ambitious $100 price target for XRP has gained significant traction within the community, with many pundits providing different reasons for their projections. 

For instance, Rietveld, a renowned crypto analyst, in a video, confidently predicted a much sooner-than-expected surge in XRP’s price. According to Rietveld, a significant accumulation phase is currently underway, positioning XRP for a major breakout that could lead to life-changing gains for early investors. 

Rietveld’s bullish outlook is partly influenced by the commentary of Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, a well-respected asset management firm known for its investments in Bitcoin ETFs. He emphasized that as major institutions like BlackRock and JPMorgan introduce cryptocurrency offerings to their wealthiest clients, liquidity is expected to flow into the broader market, potentially driving altcoins like XRP to new heights.

However, Crypto Tank argued that most of these forecasters lack a deep understanding of the factors influencing the market. He speculated that if XRP absorbed 10% of SWIFT’s daily transaction volume, XRP’s price could reach $100, which he considered a more conservative valuation. He further urged investors to “Do yourself and your mental state a favor and stop listening to all these chartists predicting different $’s.”

Community Reacts to $100 Price Prediction

The XRP community has responded to the $100 price prediction with a mix of enthusiasm and skepticism. While some community members enthusiastically agreed with Crypto Tank, others, like Scam Detective, pointed out potential inconsistencies in his analysis.

Scam Detective noted that Crypto Tank’s advice against relying on price predictions seemed contradictory to his own speculation about XRP’s future price. 

“Take the advice in his first two sentences. The remaining text is what he is warning you to ignore.”

 

Another community member observed that while chart analysis offers probabilistic insights, its value can increase with more data. However, they acknowledged that the limited historical data for cryptocurrencies makes accurate predictions based on chart analysis challenging.
