Crypto commentator Kenny Nguyen posted a striking assertion on August 21, writing, “$2.00 XRP BY NEXT MONDAY IS INEVITABLE.” The post came at a moment when XRP had already staged one of its sharpest recoveries in months, giving the prediction real context.
$2.00 XRP BY NEXT MONDAY IS INEVITABLE..

The Rally That Set the Stage
XRP bottomed at $0.9862 last week, a level it had not visited since just before the post-election surge of late 2024. From there, it reversed sharply. After the White House crypto summit, the asset rose by 12%, and it has maintained that momentum.
Several forces drove the move. The White House hosted a crypto summit on August 19. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse attended alongside President Trump, SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, and executives from Nasdaq, NYSE, and CME Group. Trump called on Congress to advance the CLARITY Act.
The excitement was immediate, as XRP ETFs saw notable inflows as the price moved upward. XRP now trades at $1.46, up over 15% from yesterday, and Nguyen suggests that the rapid ascent will continue.
Community Reactions
Responses to Nguyen’s post ranged from enthusiastic to measured. Amonyx, another well-known crypto pundit, predicted an even higher price of $2.99.
Another expressed support for the prediction, hoping he’s right while stressing the importance of Ripple’s ongoing ledger and ecosystem development as foundational to any sustained move.
One commenter agreed with the target but said he would not sell at that price. Not everyone went that far. One response said the target might arrive by the end of next week rather than Monday. Another said $1.50 would hit first.

Where XRP Goes Next
The CLARITY Act Senate vote is scheduled for September 15. Odds that the bill will pass have dropped as low as 10% in some markets. However, a favorable vote could flip the market opinion on the bill and the Senate. It could also give XRP another boost, pushing it even further.
On the technical side, analysts have identified $1.14 and $1.20 as near-term resistance levels. A sustained move above those levels could open the path toward $1.50. The $1.08 level now serves as support. Whether $2 arrives by Monday or later depends heavily on how that legislative timeline develops.
