XRP Captain (@UniverseTwenty), a prominent crypto community figure on X, recently highlighted an intriguing speculative scenario where Chris Larsen, the co-founder of Ripple, could become the first trillionaire if XRP’s price reaches $1,000.
Based on his holdings, a price of $1,000 per XRP would make Larsen’s assets worth an estimated $5.19 trillion. Although this post has stirred excitement in parts of the XRP community, others have voiced strong skepticism, suggesting the prediction is overly ambitious.
XRP’s Struggles and the $1,000 Target
For context, Chris Larsen was one of the earliest adopters and advocates of XRP and the Ripple protocol, amassing significant holdings of the cryptocurrency over the years. XRP, as Ripple’s primary digital asset, has gained popularity due to its focus on improving cross-border payments for financial institutions.
However, its price has been historically volatile, largely influenced by regulatory issues, particularly Ripple’s legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite this, the XRP community remains optimistic about the asset’s potential for significant price increases if favorable conditions arise.
A surge to $1,000 per XRP would represent an unprecedented 194,225.6% increase from its current price of $0.5146. Prominent exchanges such as Uphold and various analysts have previously speculated on the $1,000 target, and many in the community are confident that the digital asset can reach this remarkable target under the right circumstances.

The Community Responds
XRP Captain quickly attracted a range of reactions. One user remarked, “This is just one of many reasons why this won’t happen,” expressing doubt over the feasibility of such a high valuation. This sentiment was echoed by other users who questioned the logic of the $1,000 price point, with one saying, “How about we get to $1 first? Sound good?”
XRP has not crossed the $1 level since late 2021, and many in the community are eager to see a $1 price before looking toward higher targets.
Meanwhile, other responses showed enthusiasm for XRP’s potential, with the user stating, “And I will be a multi-millionaire” This reaction highlights the hopes some XRP investors have for life-changing financial outcomes if XRP were to experience a major surge.
Although Chris Larsen’s path to becoming a trillionaire through XRP has some hurdles, the community and many experts are confident that the digital asset can eventually climb to the $1,000 target.
