$XRP John Squire’s recent X post captured attention across the crypto community with a bold headline and an even bolder claim: XRP could one day reach $2,500. In a video clip accompanying the post, Squire and his guests break down the economic and technical conditions that would need to align for such a price to become reality.
✨A Finite Supply That Cannot Be Expanded
Central to their discussion is XRP’s fixed maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, all created when the network launched in June 2012. Unlike Bitcoin, there is no ongoing mining, and unlike many other digital assets, no new XRP can ever be minted. The speaker stresses, “They can’t. It’s closed with one hundred billion,” highlighting that the original creation account was dismantled and cannot be reactivated.
This hard cap underpins arguments for long-term scarcity. Roughly 59–60 billion XRP are currently in circulation, with a significant portion held in Ripple’s monthly time-locked escrow, adding further predictability to the supply schedule.

✨Daily Token Burns and Incremental Deflation
Another point raised is the deflationary mechanism built into the XRP Ledger. Each transaction incurs a minor fee that’s permanently removed, gradually shrinking the overall supply. Today’s network data indicates just a few thousand XRP are burned daily – a small proportion, yet consistent downward pressure.
✨Macroeconomic Forces and Global Demand
The speaker stresses that scarcity isn’t the sole driver of price. “There are global macroeconomic events that need to work for that supply shock to make room for pushing it towards that value,” one explains. XRP hitting $2,500 would likely require a combination of massive adoption in cross-border payments, substantial institutional liquidity, and a global uptick in on-ledger transactions.
At a circulating supply near 59 billion tokens, such a price would imply a market capitalization well above $140 trillion, far exceeding today’s entire cryptocurrency market and rivaling the largest global asset classes.
✨A Headline With a Checklist
While the $2,500 figure is provocative, Squire’s video stands out because it couples speculation with measurable indicators: controlled escrow releases, continual token burns, and real economic demand. These metrics offer tangible data for analysts to track, moving beyond mere speculation.
Whether or not XRP ever approaches such astronomical levels, John Squire’s post invites the community to focus on fundamentals—immutable supply, deflationary dynamics, and macroeconomic adoption—before entertaining any dramatic price target. If that improbable milestone is ever reached, the framework Squire outlined will be a key reference point.

$XRP has dropped about 13% from its highest price this year, but the charts and strong fundamentals suggest it might soon shoot up towards $5.
Strong Chart Pattern Forming
Since January, XRP’s daily chart has been forming a “cup and handle” pattern — a well-known bullish signal. The “cup” goes from $1.61 in February to $3.40 at the top. Now, XRP is in the “handle” stage, which usually comes before a breakout.
Inside the handle, there’s also a smaller “inverted head and shoulders” pattern, another sign of possible upside. The price is holding above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, showing that buyers are still in control.
If XRP can break above $3.65 (this year’s high), the next target could be $5. However, if it falls below $2.73, the bullish outlook would be in danger.
XRP Ledger Growth
The XRP Ledger is also performing well. In the last 30 days, the total value locked has grown 16% to $85 million. Stablecoins on the network have risen to $167 million, driven by Ripple USD (RLUSD), which has grown to $642 million in supply this year.
Ripple is also working on bringing Hidden Road transactions to the XRP Ledger and could use its new Rail acquisition to boost its stablecoin plans.
XRP ETF Could Be the Big Trigger
A big potential driver is the possible approval of an XRP ETF by the U.S. SEC. The SEC Chairman, Paul Atkins, supports cryptocurrency and may approve pending XRP ETF applications soon. This could bring billions of dollars into XRP by late 2024 or 2025.
Recent XRP ETFs from ProShares and Teucrium have already attracted millions, and if spot ETFs are approved, the growth could be even bigger.
