XRP Sky-High Target: Analyst Predicts $385 – Here’s The Case

Source Newsbtc

Crypto aficionados are taking notice of a prognosis that raises eyebrows. According to market expert Random Crypto Pal, XRP may hit an incredible $385 price mark. Although his audacious prediction has generated debate, many are wondering if this goal is realistic or only wishful thinking.

A Look At The Analyst’s Bold Claim

Random Crypto Pal’s argument hinges on historical patterns. He believes XRP is currently following a similar trajectory to its 2017 price surge. Back then, XRP experienced an unprecedented jump, climbing from $0.003 to $3.31 within a year — a gain of over 110,000%. The analyst suggests that this same pattern is unfolding in 2025, despite the token seeing a 33% drop in February.

According to him, XRP’s journey to $385 starts with smaller recoveries. He predicts the token will first climb to $27, a target also proposed by another analyst named Egrag Crypto. From there, Random Crypto Pal sees XRP pulling back before making its ultimate leap to a three-digit price.

“What is now stopping $XRP going from $0.385 to $385? Nothing in my opinion! The chart is clear!” Random Crypto Pal said in an X post.

Why $385 Is A Little Far-Fetched

The numbers might sound thrilling, but hitting $385 comes with some pretty big hurdles. For XRP to get there, its market cap would have to jump past $22 trillion. To give you an idea of how massive that is, the entire crypto market right now isn’t even close to that.

If it somehow managed to hit this target, XRP wouldn’t just be another crypto success—it would become the largest financial asset on the planet, even bigger than gold. That’s a hard picture for anybody to wrap their head around.

Skeptics argue that these figures are highly unlikely. Some point out that market conditions in 2025 are vastly different from those in 2017.

Additionally, other analysts have proposed far less ambitious targets for XRP, with one suggesting it might cross $13 under the right conditions.

What Happened In 2017?

Back in 2017, XRP saw some incredible gains, which is why the analyst is drawing comparisons to that time. The token started at just $0.003 in January 2017 and shot up to $3.31 by January 2018. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. Along the way, XRP hit some rough patches, like a steep 62% drop in April 2017. Still, it managed to bounce back again and again, eventually reaching its all-time high.

Random Crypto Pal now sees history poised to repeat itself. He uses the recent price declines as evidence XRP is preparing for yet another major rise. Not everyone is persuaded, though, and several authorities have doubts about his interpretation. Some experts in order books said XRP is not behaving as it should based on 2017 trends.

For those following XRP, the more realistic targets may be worth keeping in mind. Whether the token climbs to $13, $27, or somewhere in between, it’s clear that XRP’s future is still a hot topic in the crypto community. For now, though, $385 remains a figure that’s hard to imagine.
