Crypto commentator Austin Hilton recently shared a video with the XRP community about timing. Hilton said the biggest group of buyers hadn’t arrived yet, and he expects that wave to make a big impact. He then laid out the price levels he expected the asset to reach.
XRP Holding its Ground
XRP traded at $1.51 when he made the video. He reported an 8.5% gain over the past month. That rise came during a heavy stretch for markets. He listed the U.S.-Iran conflict, oil and gas prices, inflation, and uncertainty over AI as pressures.
He also cited the loss of the CLARITY Act and a Federal Reserve rate increase. In his view, crypto handled those events well. He said a 30% drop was likely.

Early Holders Waited for the Crowd
Hilton told viewers they were still early. He said the masses had not arrived. He expects them once green candles surge, with Bitcoin at $130,000 and XRP at $10. At that point, he said newcomers will conclude “this crypto thing is cool.”
Long-term holders who bought at $0.60, $1, or $2 would then look brilliant. Hilton urged holders to stay calm and avoid panic. He said he owns XRP, covers it every day, and believes in it as both a technology and an investment.
The Double-digit Targets
Hilton called XRP one of the best assets available. He said it had the biggest possible opportunity to 10x, 20x, or 30x. A move to $10 would equal 6.5x the price he quoted. It would lift XRP’s market cap to $690 billion. The market cap stood at $95 billion. Hilton called that “not that much in the grand scheme of things.” He added that he thinks XRP would reach $20.

He also compared XRP with Bitcoin. He said a $1 million Bitcoin would need a market cap near $20 trillion, roughly 11x the price he quoted. He believes Bitcoin will get there, though not today.
The Outlook for XRP
Hilton tied price growth to the arrival of new buyers. He expects their entry to lift XRP toward $10 first, finally placing XRP in the double-digit range. He set $20 as his own target beyond that. In his view, holders needed patience until that money arrived.
