Crypto Enthusiast KepMatrix believes XRP investors should focus on whether the token can reach $10 before placing their expectations on much higher prices, including $100 or $1,000.
He believes that such long-term targets require substantial growth in real-world usage, and he does not believe current developments justify expecting those prices in the short or medium term.
KepMatrix Questions XRP’s Higher Price Targets
In a post on X, KepMatrix explained that XRP reaching $10 would represent an important test for the much higher valuations some holders anticipate. In his view, investors should not assume that XRP can eventually reach $100 or $1,000 if it cannot first establish the conditions necessary to reach $10.
He also rejected token burning as a sufficient reason to expect significant price increases. Although XRP is regularly burned through transaction fees on the XRP Ledger, KepMatrix believes the process would take tens of thousands of years to produce a meaningful supply reduction at the current rate, even with continued burning.
He argues that reduced supply alone cannot justify higher price expectations. Instead, he believes investors should pay closer attention to actual usage and whether demand for XRP grows enough to support higher valuations.
XRP 홀더분들
제가 단언하건데 XRP가 10$를 못가면 100$ 1000$를 갈 이유가 없습니다.
소각을 아무리 많이 해도 XRP 수만년 걸리는거 아시죠?
소각으로는 가격 올릴 명분이 전혀 없습니다그렇다면 여전히 실사용이 아직 그단계가 안왔다는거고
10$를 넘어선다는것은 실사용이 가속화…

Real-World Usage Remains Central to His Argument
KepMatrix connected his price outlook to the development of physical artificial intelligence centers. He suggested that the expansion of real-world infrastructure and its eventual use could take several more years to reach a stage that supports the level of adoption some XRP holders anticipate.
He believes XRP breaking above $10 would indicate that real-world usage is accelerating. However, he considers the current pace of physical AI center development insufficient to support expectations of rapid progress in the near term.
His comments therefore challenge investors who expect XRP to reach double-digit prices within a short period or who already anticipate triple-digit and four-digit valuations. Rather than treating these targets as inevitable, he encouraged holders to manage their expectations, remain patient, and approach holding XRP as a long-term interest without relying on a specific price outcome.
XRP Holders Respond to the $10 Target
The comments beneath KepMatrix’s post showed different interpretations of his argument. Solxhin suggested that expectations themselves could influence XRP’s price, arguing that the token could reach $10 during the initial stages of adoption before real-world usage accelerates further.
Deoland589 agreed with the importance of the $10 milestone but offered a more optimistic interpretation. The commenter suggested that once XRP reaches $10, the possibility of moving toward $100 would remain open. Deoland589 also observed that many people currently consider such targets unrealistic, while suggesting that market expectations could change over time.
Meanwhile, XRP 002 took a more measured position, saying that the important consideration is whether XRP maintains an upward trend over time.
KepMatrix’s central point remains that investors should distinguish between ambitious price predictions and developments that can support them. While XRP could benefit from increased adoption and demand, neither token burning nor future infrastructure growth guarantees a particular price.
