Crypto market commentator 24HrsCrypto reiterated this week that an XRP price of $100 by 2030 should not be considered an extreme forecast, pushing back against critics who have questioned high-end targets as the token continues to trade below $2.
XRP Forecast Framed Around Liquidity, Not Short-Term Price Action
24HrsCrypto said his outlook does not rely on short-term charts or market sentiment. Instead, he focuses on how money moves through financial systems, how liquidity forms, and how settlement demand can change asset value over time.
He did not present a numerical valuation model or on-chain estimates to support the $100 figure. Rather, he described the target as a probability-based view tied to structural change, not a prediction tied to the current market cycle.
At $100 per token, XRP’s market capitalization would sit far above today’s large-cap crypto assets, placing the forecast well outside present market conditions.
Alongside the 2030 outlook, 24HrsCrypto outlined a medium-term scenario, saying an XRP price near $20 in 2026 would align with what he considers realistic conditions if usage expands.
He stressed that such a move would require measurable growth in activity, not speculative rallies, and said price appreciation would need to follow adoption rather than lead it.
A core part of the thesis rests on trading volume. The analyst said sustained daily trading volume above $200 billion would signal meaningful demand and utility for XRP.
For comparison, Bitcoin’s reported spot trading volume averages around $32 billion per day, while XRP’s highest recorded daily volume stood near $37 billion in April 2021. The analyst acknowledged that many market participants dismiss the likelihood of XRP reaching such levels, but argued that skepticism reflects a market still oriented around speculation rather than settlement-driven activity.
Analyst Points to Past Calls, Not Price Moves
Responding to a post that called XRP “nothing but disappointment” after a roughly 44% decline this year, 24HrsCrypto rejected claims that his analysis misleads investors. He said criticism often ignores the difference between short-term price action and long-term structural developments.
In reply, 24HrsCrypto said his track record centers on identifying developments before they became public, not predicting short-term market rallies. He cited several examples he said were documented and time-stamped years in advance.
Among them, he said he previously called Ripple’s collaboration with Mastercard, Ripple’s decision to launch its own stablecoin, and the company’s push toward operating as a regulated financial institution.

As part of that defense, 24HrsCrypto pointed to a recent statement from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who confirmed that Ripple had received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to pursue a U.S. national trust bank charter.
Through the post, the analyst said how ideas once dismissed as unrealistic can later become public policy or corporate reality. He did not claim that the approval validates a specific XRP price outcome. Instead, he framed the comparison as a response to accusations that his earlier views were misleading.
