Three independent valuation models, all created by financial and legal professionals, are landing in the same price range for XRP. Crypto commentator Gen XRP (@OfficialGenXRP1) highlighted this convergence in a recent video.
The target those models point to is $18,000 per XRP. That number gets more interesting when you look at who built the models.
The Mitchnick Model
The first valuation model Gen XRP references comes from Robbie Mitchnick, who built it during his time at Ripple. Mitchnick now serves as Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock. Gen XRP notes that this is not just a coincidence. He added, “This is a serious guy, so serious that BlackRock hired him to head their digital asset division from Ripple.”
The model Mitchnick helped develop, possibly in collaboration with economist Susan Athey, placed XRP’s valuation in the multi-thousand-dollar range. Gen XRP encourages viewers to research it directly.

The Jimmy Vallee Model
The second model comes from Jimmy Vallee, Managing Director at Valhil Capital, and an attorney whose professional expertise includes company acquisitions and valuations.
Vallee built his own XRP valuation model, and according to Gen XRP, one of its scenarios reached as high as $35,000 per XRP. The model included multiple scenarios based on different conditions. With that context, $18,000 is well within the range the models collectively establish.
A Third Model and a Conservative Target
Gen XRP references a third valuation model without naming its author. All three models, he states, were built by professionals using real-world data, and all three land in roughly the same area.
Despite presenting these high-range valuations, Gen XRP maintains a more conservative personal target. “I believe we’re going to be pretty solidly in the four-figure range by 2030, about a thousand bucks or so,” he said. He presents $1,000 by 2030 as his baseline expectation, with $18,000 representing the upper range supported by the models he cites.

The Exchange Warning
Alongside the valuation discussion, Gen XRP issued a security warning to his followers. He advised moving crypto holdings out of centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, Crypto.com, Robinhood, and Kraken. His recommendation is to transfer funds into a decentralized wallet and connect a cold wallet with an LLC for added security.
The concern centers on the risk of exchange failure and the loss of access to funds that could follow, as Coinbase has been suspending accounts and freezing withdrawals. With XRP potentially going to $18,000, now is the best time to protect your assets.
