A post from XRP enthusiast Pete (@peteskeetpete) is drawing reactions across the community. He wrote, “After everything goes DARK. XRP will rise to $1000. Get Ready.”
The post references a financial reset scenario, a theory circulating in XRP circles for years, suggesting a systemic global event will precede a major price move for the asset.
What Pete is Claiming
The “going DARK” language alludes to a collapse or disruption of legacy financial infrastructure. Pete elaborated in the replies. When one commenter noted that systems would all have to switch the flip on XRP simultaneously, Pete agreed.
The suggestion is that XRP would emerge as a settlement asset on the other side of that disruption of the global financial system. Many who believe this theory point to XRP’s design as a bridge asset, and they expect it to power the emerging financial system.
After everything goes DARK.
XRP will rise to $1000.
Get Ready.

How the Community Responded
Reactions were divided. Several supporters agreed, with one saying everything was “for sure going dark”. Another said the community was already deep enough in the darkness. One commenter suggested XRP could reach 4 to 6 digits, placing Pete’s $1,000 target at the low end.
Skeptics pushed back with force. One commenter flatly said it would not happen, prompting Pete to tell him to quit trying to be slick. Rick followed up by calling Pete a “brainwashed dumbass.”
Others called it a scam, and another compared him to Jake Claver who many have lost faith in because of his failed predictions. One commenter put a realistic near-term price at $3 or $4. Another said he believed in XRP but was not holding his breath on a timeline.
The $1,000 Target Has Serious Backing
Despite the community pushback, the $1,000 price target is not unique to Pete. Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA and a former Goldman Sachs analyst, has repeatedly predicted XRP will reach $1,000 by 2030. He has maintained that position through multiple market conditions throughout 2026.
In September 2026, Kwok posted that “$1,000 is more likely than ever,” a statement that reached hundreds of thousands of views within hours. The foundational argument for the target rests on XRP’s role in cross-border payments.
Kwok has previously argued that crypto valuations are driven by network utility and liquidity demand, not conventional financial metrics. Whether the market reaches that level by 2030 remains an open question.
