XRP has had one of its strongest runs in years. A prominent voice in the crypto space is now signaling that the move is far from over. Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, posted on August 25 that “the most hated rally is about to begin.”
Kwok expects XRP to reach $1,000 by 2030. His latest post suggests he sees current conditions as consistent with that long-term outlook.

What Drove XRP’s Recent Surge
XRP started last week near $0.99 and climbed to a peak of $1.68 before pulling back to around $1.5. The asset rose by more than 50% in under two days, and several catalysts drove that move.
The U.S. Treasury announced it would double long-bond buybacks to at least $4 billion per operation starting September 9. That announcement triggered $3 billion in short liquidations across crypto markets and pushed Bitcoin past $72,000, lifting the broader market.
Regulatory developments added fuel. The SEC proposed new fundraising exemption rules for crypto assets, including a safe harbor provision for tokens whose networks operate independently. President Trump then hosted a White House summit with SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.
Garlinghouse confirmed that the administration, the SEC, and the CFTC are fully aligned on crypto policy. The CFTC separately committed to advancing formal crypto market rules under existing authority, regardless of whether the CLARITY Act clears the Senate.
Community Reacts
Responses to Kwok’s post reflected strong sentiment across the XRP community. One person asked when the rally Kwok predicted would arrive. Another appreciated Kwok’s connections and wished her father could witness the rally. One commenter suggested penny flippers need to exit the market first before the move can happen. Another said he would not hate the rally at all.
One market participant urged the asset to rise, and another described dreaming about XRP pumping, and noted that even in the dream someone attributed the move to the date being August 25.

The Case for Continuation
Each of those catalysts remains active. The Treasury buyback program begins in September. The SEC’s proposed safe harbor is still working through the regulatory process. The CFTC’s rule-making timeline extends well beyond August.
These are not one-time events. They are structural shifts in how U.S. regulators and policymakers approach digital assets. XRP sits at the center of that shift given Ripple’s direct engagement with all three institutions.
