The post Could $1000 XRP Become a Reality? Understanding The Hidden Plan appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
While much of crypto Twitter has gone silent on hyped-up meme coins and trendy Layer-2 tokens, big utility projects like XRP and HBAR have quietly kept building, forming deals, partnerships, and preparing for something much bigger behind the scenes.
Crypto analyst Vincent Van Code says that XRP could play a major role in fixing one of the biggest problems in global finance: liquidity. He compares the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to a surgeon’s scalpel — a powerful tool that’s only valuable in the right hands. And right now, it seems like the right players are getting into position.
Looking at the current market, he points out that by 2025, the hype around meme coins and Layer 2/ERC-20 tokens has mostly faded. Meanwhile, bigger projects like XRP and HBAR have quietly been building real utility, securing partnerships, and setting themselves up for long-term success.
“These big companies don’t rely on retail, all tokens that exchange hands in substantial volumes are done via dark pools/OTC,” he wrote.
When Could XRP Hit $1,000?
Vincent says the real question isn’t if XRP can hit $1,000, but when. For that to happen, Ripple would need to secure a major share of the cross-border payments market and position XRP as a global reserve currency.
It seems like a far-fetched goal, but one that could help solve two of the financial world’s biggest issues: liquidity shortages and the risks of endless money printing. Instead of constantly creating new dollars, networks like XRP could inject liquidity into the system in a smarter, more sustainable way. That’s where assets like RLUSD and XRP could shine.
Recent data shows the XRP Ledger is growing, with over 1 million payments between accounts recorded in early May 2025. That’s a clear sign that big players are starting to use XRPL despite market volatility.
What About XRP’s Price? (Short-Term)
Analyst Steph Is Crypto said that XRP is currently retesting a major upward trend line. If it holds this level, it could be the start of a significant price move. If it slips below $2, there might be a quick dip before a bounce back. Interestingly, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) recently broke above a key trend line, similar to what happened before a 600% rally in 2024.
Analyst XForceGlobal remains bullish, saying that as long as XRP stays above $1.60, the uptrend is intact and a new all-time high could be on the horizon. At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $2.18, up 1.4% in the past 24 hours.
