XRP Dragon (@DRAGON_XRP66), a prominent figure in the XRP community, recently sparked discussion by suggesting that, given XRP’s past rise from $0.003 to over $3, a future leap from $3 to $3,000 shouldn’t be dismissed outright.
Reaching this target would require a 99,900% climb, and while many see this as unrealistic, XRP Dragon’s statement draws on the asset’s historical rise to its all-time high in 2017/2018 and expectations that it can repeat that performance.
A notable aspect of this belief in the asset’s potential is the contrast between the speculative nature of its earlier rally and the current push toward real-world adoption and utility. In 2017, XRP reached its all-time high largely on investor speculation amid a broader crypto market boom.
Today, however, Ripple has expanded its partnerships, strengthened its payment infrastructure, and weathered prolonged regulatory battles. If it could perform so well with speculation alone, these factors could help it replicate or even outperform its previous rally.
If $XRP went from $0.003 to $3.31 before… who’s to say $3 to $3,000 is impossible?”#XRP pic.twitter.com/pcR0mU73UP

Community Reactions
XRP Dragon’s statement has prompted a wide range of reactions from the community. One user acknowledged the historical price increase but pointed out that the asset’s early pricing, particularly around $0.003, occurred during the “initial-cap phase” when liquidity was extremely limited.
According to this perspective, the more meaningful growth period began around the $0.02–$0.03 range, and the move to $3 from there was already a 100x gain. Applying the same magnitude of growth from $3 would suggest a target closer to $300 rather than $3,000.

Others noted that broader market conditions today differ significantly from 2017. Increased competition from other blockchain projects, market saturation, and ongoing regulatory risks are seen as potential constraints on the cryptocurrency’s upward trajectory. One commenter noted that without “unprecedented global adoption,” such a leap in value would be “extremely unlikely.”
Utility as a Catalyst for Long-Term Growth
XRP Dragon is convinced that XRP’s future price movement will mirror its past and reach new heights as a result. However, unlike the speculative-driven surge in 2017, future appreciation could be driven by large-scale XRP adoption and a more favorable regulatory environment.
Some experts have predicted that becoming a bridge for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could send XRP as high as $10,000. Widespread use could contribute to this potential growth.
While many in the community continue to debate the plausibility of a 99,900% price surge, the discussion highlights a critical shift in focus from speculation to utility. As utility grows, the asset’s price will reflect this shift.
