John Squire, a recognized media figure and key opinion leader in the cryptocurrency space, has expressed confidence in XRP’s long-term potential. He predicts that many investors will look back by 2030 and regret not purchasing the asset at its current price. His remarks come as XRP, along with the broader crypto market, faces a prolonged bearish trend.
Over the past few months, cryptocurrency prices have seen a steep decline. Since January 20, the global market capitalization has dropped by more than $1 trillion, with Bitcoin struggling to hold above $80,000. XRP has also experienced significant losses, with its market cap falling from a peak of $195 billion in mid-January to approximately $133 billion—a decline of $62 billion.
Despite this downturn, analysts remain optimistic about XRP’s future, pointing to regulatory progress and its strong performance in late 2024 as key indicators of potential growth.
Squire maintains that the present decline in XRP’s price represents a key opportunity for investors to accumulate the asset before its value surges. Several analysts share this view, arguing that corrections often allow for strategic long-term investments.
A comparable situation occurred in 2020 during the market crash triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. In March of that year, XRP plummeted to a low of $0.1140, providing an entry point for investors willing to take the risk. Those who invested $50,000 at that time secured approximately 438,596 XRP tokens. Even amid the current market slump, that investment is now worth over $1,008,771.
He believes that today’s price movement mirrors the 2020 scenario and could offer similar potential gains. However, for this to materialize, XRP would need to appreciate substantially from its current price level. At $2.40 per token, XRP has already increased by 1,918% from its March 2020 low.
If XRP were to rise by a similar percentage from its current value, it could theoretically reach $46 per token. However, most price forecasts present more conservative expectations.
For instance, well-known market analyst EGRAG has projected that XRP could reach $27, although he has not provided a specific timeframe for this prediction. Meanwhile, analysts at cryptocurrency exchange Changelly have estimated that the token could trade between $13.86 and $23.10 by 2030.
While Squire has not offered a precise price target, his confidence in the token’s long-term potential aligns with broader market sentiment. Many investors see the current dip as a strategic buying opportunity, given historical patterns and the increasing regulatory clarity surrounding the cryptocurrency.
