According to Digital Ascension Group’s Managing Director Jake Claver, XRP could reach a price level that brings a dramatic shift in how value moves on its network. He argues that higher token prices make the system more efficient. Claver even lays out a bold target of $10,000 per XRP, and he says that can happen within 24 months. The idea has reignited talk of crypto’s next big rally.
Price And Liquidity Efficiency
According to Claver, moving large sums on the XRP ledger depends on token price. At $1 per XRP, you need 1,000,000 tokens to shift $1 million. If the price rose to $10, only 100,000 tokens would do the job.
And in a world where one XRP costs $1 million, a single token could cover that same $1 million transfer. This math shows why Claver believes price and network efficiency go hand in hand.

Market Cap Implications
XRP trades near $2.24 today, with a market cap of about $131.7 billion. At $10,000 per token, that cap would swell to over $585 trillion. Claver treats that huge number as a sign of strength rather than a warning.
He says market cap rules don’t apply the same way to XRP. But critics point out you can’t assume that every token sits ready to trade. Actual liquidity comes from orders on exchanges and funds in liquidity pools, not just a headline market cap.
Timeline And Skepticism
Claver doesn’t shy away from timing. He told his followers that the $10,000 mark could arrive within 24 months. Some hear that as a call to buy now. Others see it as wildly optimistic. To reach that level,
XRP would need to climb more than 500,000% from today’s price. Even Bitcoin, with far more adoption, took about four years to go from $1,200 to $68,000 in the last cycle. Cranking out a similar or bigger gain in half the time would require huge new demand.
Community Reaction And Risks
Based on reports, Claver’s claim has attracted both cheers and jeers. Some XRP fans embrace the vision. Others worry it sets unrealistic hopes. Alex Caraco, former CEO of an Australian stock market firm, summed up a common view: “It’s sad to see buyers sold the story of $10,000 XRP happening tomorrow.”
Critics say such talk distracts from real issues like regulatory hurdles, exchange listings and developer growth.
XRP Price Forecast
XRP is expected to dip slightly—by around 0.70%—with projections placing its value at $2.23 by July 17, 2025. Current indicators paint a neutral market mood, with the Fear & Greed Index leaning heavily toward Neutral at a score of 57.
Over the past month, XRP has closed in the green on 16 out of 30 days, experiencing a modest 3.70% in price swings.
