Investor and media host Paul Barron has outlined a bold scenario for XRP’s price trajectory, suggesting the asset could move toward $60 if certain conditions align. His comments came during a recent discussion with Rupert from Allin Crypto, who also provided his bullish forecast for the token.
Market Setting and ETF Speculation
Rupert noted that crypto trends remain tied to investor psychology but suggested upcoming spot ETF approvals could shift momentum. He noted that past ETF announcements have often triggered Bitcoin rallies, sparking wider market optimism and renewed attention on altcoins.
Although Bitcoin’s four-year cycle remains an important influence, Rupert observed that the asset’s market dominance is gradually declining. Ethereum and other major altcoins may benefit from this, providing a foundation for a broader altcoin upswing and an altseason in 2025.

XRP’s Growth Potential
Within this environment, Rupert described XRP as uniquely positioned compared to its peers. He suggested that the token’s potential remains underestimated, with market sentiment not reflecting the scale of what could be ahead. Based on his analysis, XRP could soon rise to $19.27.
Such a move would require growth of more than 530% from its current price of $3.04, giving the asset a market capitalization of over $1 trillion and surpassing its previous all-time high of $3.65. He added that if XRP were to cross this milestone, questions about how to assign its long-term value would become increasingly relevant.
Barron’s $60 Projection
Expanding on this, Barron suggested that XRP trading near $20 would indicate a major shift in the market. He highlighted possible triggers, such as the inclusion of digital assets in retirement investment products through ETFs or the adoption of XRP as an alternative to SWIFT in global payments.
While he rejected extreme predictions of hundreds or thousands of dollars in the short term, Barron argued that a rise toward $60 within a year could not be dismissed if favorable conditions develop. Such a move would require gains of almost 1,900% and would push XRP’s market capitalization beyond $3.5 trillion, overtaking Bitcoin’s current valuation.

XRP Community Support and Sentiment
Barron also emphasized the role of community engagement. Drawing on his Market Sentiment Index, which tracks discussions across social platforms, he noted that surges in XRP-related activity often coincide with upward price movement. Sentiment hit a peak in mid-July when the asset reached its all-time high, and spiked again in early August alongside another rally.
According to Barron, these patterns illustrate that XRP’s community remains a powerful force. He believes that if investor sentiment continues to build, it could reinforce the momentum needed to push the token into higher price ranges.
