- Analysts predict XRP could surge to $15, but caution urges tempering expectations in the current volatile market.
- Despite optimism, XRP’s recent price decline highlights risks, with some fearing a market top or impending crash.
XRP, the digital asset tied to the Ripple network, has seen volatility recently. After peaking in January, it remained largely inactive. Despite the resolution of its long-standing legal battles, the cryptocurrency has yet to see a price recovery.
However, some analysts, as reported by ETHNews, make bold predictions, forecasting a rise in XRP’s value. One prominent figure suggests that the price could hit as high as $15, representing possible gains of over 500%. While these predictions have caught the attention of the crypto community, many caution against such optimism, citing the risks of high expectations.
XRP’s price has been trapped in a holding pattern, with more losses than gains in recent weeks. The cryptocurrency reached its 2023 high of $3.34 in January, but since then, it has consistently traded below the $2 mark, even dipping as low as $1.70 at certain points.
At press time, XRP was trading at $2.18, reflecting a 6.18% increase over the last day. Despite the positive resolution of the Ripple lawsuit, which many expected to drive XRP’s price higher, the coin has failed to make a notable comeback.
Bold Price Forecast for XRP: Could $15 Be on the Horizon?
One of the bold forecasts for XRP comes from a well-known market influencer behind the YouTube channel “The Modern Investor.” In a recent tweet, the analyst predicted that XRP could surge to a price range of $10 to $15 soon. This forecast would represent a 308% increase to $10, or a 512% rise to $15, from the current market price.

The Modern Investor’s prediction is not new. He has previously suggested that such a rally could be driven by favorable changes in U.S. tax policy, particularly the possible elimination of capital gains taxes on cryptocurrencies.
This possibility has fueled hope that XRP and other U.S.-based cryptocurrencies could grow. Additionally, the analyst cited U.S. President Trump’s push for a national crypto asset reserve, a policy that might further support digital assets like XRP.
Other Analysts Share Optimism for XRP
While the prediction from The Modern Investor has garnered attention, it is not the only voice expressing optimism for XRP’s future. Analyst Edoardo Farina has also stated that he expects XRP to reach new price peaks this year.
These type of post remind me of those @Cardano post last cycle at $3.30 where everyone was predicting $10 before the price collapsed.

Farina, however, has refrained from offering a specific price target. His outlook aligns with the belief that the cryptocurrency may still have room for growth, even amid the current market conditions.
Despite the optimism from some analysts, others in the crypto community are more cautious. A response to The Modern Investor’s tweet came from community member Dobbo, who urged the influencer to temper his predictions. Dobbo warned against making overly bullish statements without considering the current market climate.
Similarly, SurferMonkey, a co-founder of a popular crypto platform, pointed out that such bold calls for a surge in XRP’s price are reminiscent of similar predictions made during the last market cycle. He referenced the calls made when Cardano (ADA) reached $3.30, with many predicting it would hit $10 before it collapsed.
