Tom Laresca has seen market cycles, and the Wall Street veteran who now runs Crypto Vice is known for bold predictions. His latest call on XRP is no exception. Laresca believes XRP will hit $5 soon, then climb to $10.
Laresca’s Expectations for XRP
Laresca shared his prediction in a video posted by crypto enthusiast Michelle Kirby on X. His argument centers on a staged price movement driven by real usage. He believes the asset will reach an all-time high within “a month, two months max.” XRP hit its peak of $3.65 in July 2025, and Laresca expects it to surpass this level in the next two months.
From there, he expects a pullback to $5 as early holders take profit. He sees this as a deliberate shakeout. Then, he predicts a push to $10, where more long-term holders will sell.
This would then trigger another attempt to flush out retail investors before a larger move higher. He cited potential usage-driven demand as the catalyst, pointing to a possible supply shock if adoption accelerates.

Is $10 Possible in Two Months?
XRP currently trades well below both price targets. A move to $5 would represent a significant gain from the current price of $1.15. A move to $10 would push XRP into price territory it has never reached.
The fundamental argument has some basis. Financial institutions use XRP for cross-border payments. If institutional adoption grows and transaction volume increases, demand for XRP could rise. Laresca’s supply shock theory relies on this happening at scale.
The timeline is where skepticism is most justified. Laresca presents no specific data to support his one-to-two-month window for an all-time high. He presents his scenario as a belief, not a forecast backed by hard evidence.
XRP Army Pushes Back
The response on X was largely negative, and recent price action gave critics plenty of ammunition. XRP experienced a sharp drop at the start of June, which colored how many readers received the prediction.
One commenter dismissed the prediction outright, accusing Kirby of trying to inflate the coin’s price with no factual basis. Another said that XRP will sit lower than its current price in three months.
Others aimed at the source. One questioned whether Laresca even reviews his own content before publishing, given what they called a pattern of misleading information. Conviction is low for high price targets, and XRP will need to rise significantly to change that sentiment.
