Friends, your questions are very important and this is a big discussion: Are the forecasts that say XRP could reach $100 or even $500 – $1000 realistic? Here is my analysis + opinion — with what current analyses see in terms of opportunities and risks:
🔍 Analysis of the forecasts that say XRP could "explode" to very high numbers
The huge market cap required
For XRP to become valued at $100 or more per unit, the market cap of XRP would be extremely huge. FinanceFeeds says that reaching $100 requires a market cap of about $5.8 trillion.
This is a very huge number, far exceeding many major companies and even some economies.
Some say that reaching $1,000 seems "theoretically possible, but not very realistic" within reasonable time frames.
More realistic forecasts from analysts
On LiteFinance, there are moderate forecasts that say the price of XRP could be in the range of $3.9 to $12+ in the coming years.
The big risks
There are regulatory risks: Ripple itself may be under legal or regulatory pressure in some countries, which limits some "fantasy" scenarios.
Even if very significant partnerships are realized, full adoption and turning that into a big price impact takes time.
The abundance of XRP in the market (large supply) makes it very difficult for the price to rise significantly without huge and sustained demand.
