Edoardo Farina, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency space and vocal supporter of XRP, recently dismissed the idea that XRP could reach $100 or more based purely on speculative chart patterns.
According to Farina, any significant increase in XRP’s value will not come from “imaginary lines on a chart” but rather from a combination of institutional adoption and scarcity.
Let’s get this straight: $XRP won’t hit $100+ because of some imaginary lines on a chart. It will happen due to Institutional Adoption and scarcity.

His comments come as analysts and crypto enthusiasts continue to present bullish technical projections for XRP, but Farina’s position highlights a more fundamental approach. He sees the growing infrastructure around the digital asset as the driver of future growth.
The End of the SEC Lawsuit
Ripple’s long-standing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently concluded, as both parties have dropped their appeals. Ripple’s initial $125 million penalty was reduced to $50 million.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse emphasized that the lawsuit’s conclusion opens up renewed opportunities in the U.S. financial sector. The resolution is pivotal for the digital asset’s legitimacy and growth prospects, especially as it removes one of the top regulatory uncertainties weighing on the asset for years.
ETF Prospects and Institutional Demand
In addition to legal clarity, the potential for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) is increasingly being considered as a near-term catalyst. Meanwhile, the SEC has already acknowledged multiple filings for an XRP ETF.

While no approval has been granted yet, many market observers expect a decision to come this year. If approved, an XRP ETF would provide regulated exposure for large-scale investors and asset managers, potentially accelerating institutional inflows.
Farina’s view aligns with this broader shift toward utility-driven valuation. Institutional participation in digital assets generally requires regulatory clarity and compliant investment vehicles, both of which are beginning to emerge for XRP.
Scarcity and Supply Constraints
Farina also emphasized the role of scarcity, implying that XRP’s capped supply and the desire of institutional investors to accumulate tokens could lower the publicly available supply over time. Farina has previously referenced this upcoming supply shock, predicting it will liquidate 95% of token holders.
With the lawsuit behind it, the prospect of an ETF ahead, and growing institutional interest, XRP is entering a new phase—one defined by infrastructure and adoption rather than speculation.
