Recent developments in the XRP ecosystem have sparked a contentious debate within the community regarding the future valuation of cryptocurrency. While some enthusiasts are now entertaining the possibility of XRP reaching $100 per token, others remain skeptical of such lofty projections.
Xena XRP (@XenaXrp), a prominent figure in the community, is in the $100 camp and has reported observing a change in sentiment among some members.
According to her observations, there appears to be a growing belief that XRP could reach the $100 mark within a few years. This represents a significant shift from previous discussions, where even a $10 valuation was considered highly optimistic and potentially unattainable before 2030.
However, this optimistic outlook is not universally shared within the community. Many members have expressed disagreement with Xena XRP’s assessment, suggesting that such projections may be overly ambitious or unrealistic.
Reasons for the Shift in Sentiment
Several key announcements and developments have contributed to the ongoing debate about XRP’s future value. The company recently announced plans to introduce native smart contract functionality to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This feature, long absent from the XRP ecosystem, will enhance its capabilities and potentially attract more users and developers.
The conclusion of the lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could also play a crucial role in XRP’s rise, as Ripple received a favorable ruling.

XRP’s Performance and Prospects
Despite these positive developments, XRP’s price has shown limited sustained growth, currently trading at $0.5186. The idea of XRP reaching $100 has excited a significant portion of the community.
To reach this valuation, XRP will have to experience a price increase of over 19,182% from its current level. Skeptics argue that such growth is implausible and detached from market realities.
A prominent figure also recently stated that predictions of surpassing $100 this year irritate him because the target is unrealistic. Instead, he suggests a more realistic $4 target. While recent developments have injected renewed optimism into some segments of the community, the path to significant price appreciation remains uncertain.
However, proponents of the $100 target, point to historical precedent. They reference XRP’s performance in 2017, during which the cryptocurrency experienced growth of over 60,000% within a year. Because of this remarkable historical precedent, many are confident a surge of almost 20,000% is easily achievable.
