Prominent crypto influencer BarriC (@B_arri_C) recently shared insights on X regarding the future price potential of XRP. He compared the current skepticism around high price targets for XRP to the past disbelief in Bitcoin’s ability to reach $100,000.
BarriC recalled purchasing Bitcoin in 2016, reminding the community that no one predicted that BTC could hit $100,000. He emphasized that Bitcoin’s journey from $330 to $100,000 and Ethereum’s rise from $10 to $2,000 illustrate how digital assets can appreciate beyond initial expectations.
Back in 2016 when I was buying my first $BTC
NO ONE was discussing a $100K #BTC
It wasn’t fathomable back then
It’s the same for $XRP right now
When people see #XRP trading at approx $2
They can’t envision $XRP at $100
Or even $1,000That’s why the majority of people…

While experts didn’t believe Bitcoin could reach $100,000 just a few years ago, some are now projecting targets of $175,000 and more. Applying this perspective to XRP, he pointed out that many traders today struggle to envision it reaching $100 or even $1,000. However, he argued that historical precedent suggests such growth is possible.
He noted that most people fail to understand how the cryptocurrency market has evolved and how projects with strong fundamentals can experience substantial price increases. He predicted that XRP will have its “time in the near future” and could follow a trajectory similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Community Reactions to BarriC’s Perspective
BarriC’s post resonated with many members of the XRP community, who echoed his optimism. One commenter stated, “And $1000 XRP is just the start, I think it will be consistently around $10,000.” Many notable voices have predicted a $10,000 XRP price, and he argued that this level of growth is realistic, as it represents only a fraction of Bitcoin’s historical appreciation.

Another response emphasized XRP’s technological advantages, claiming it has 100x more services and utility compared to other major cryptocurrencies. The commenter highlighted that XRP has undergone extensive regulatory scrutiny due to the SEC lawsuit, and the recent dismissal of the case strengthens the asset’s position in the market.
Is $1,000 A Realistic Target?
XRP’s price predictions remain highly debated within the crypto space. Supporters argue its real-world utility, including fast and low-cost cross-border transactions, sets it apart from many other digital assets. They also point to Ripple’s ongoing partnerships with financial institutions as evidence of XRP’s potential for widespread adoption.
Despite the optimism, skeptics highlight the digital asset’s large circulating supply. One commenter drew attention to this problem, as XRP’s fully diluted market cap will be $100 trillion if the digital asset climbs to $1,000.
However, experts believe the market cap will not limit XRP’s growth, as higher prices are necessary to process the large volume the community expects it to as it integrates into the global financial system.
