In the wake of the Uphold-Ripple partnership, the community has questioned Uphold’s previous discussions concerning XRP potentially reaching $1,000.
The well-known American cryptocurrency exchange Uphold, with a history of support for XRP, is under scrutiny due to conversations from its past. These discussions revolved around the hypothetical scenario of XRP reaching $1,000, which went unnoticed by the community.
XRP community unearthed these past statements in light of Uphold’s recent partnership with Ripple. This new information has sparked curiosity within the XRP community on whether Uphold was dropping hints.

Uphold’s Past Speculation
Between 2021 and 2022, Uphold took to X, which was Twitter then, to engage the XRP community, asking what they would do if XRP reached $1,000. In response, some XRP enthusiasts expressed anticipation of the XRP’s value surpassing this significant milestone.
Uphold consistently replied with the same question: “What would you do if XRP reached $1,000?”
Amelie (@_Crypto_Barbie), an XRP influencer who shared the screenshot of the comments, asked why the company had always mentioned XRP going to $1,000.
She speculated about this being a hidden message or a potential confirmation of XRP’s path to $1,000. She also points out that these posts could have been a hint at the partnership between both companies.

What XRP Community Says
It is essential to clarify that Uphold’s posts merely responded to the hopes and aspirations of XRP enthusiasts. These statements weren’t Uphold’s predictions but rather an exploration of the community’s sentiments.
However, this has not stopped XRP enthusiasts from assuming that Uphold was making bullish projections and that these projections were somehow connected to its recent partnership with Ripple. Some are suggesting that the collaboration might be a catalyst for XRP’s journey to $1,000.

Although some in the comments agreed with Amelie, Oskar Arnarson (@oskararnarson) shared a contrary view. He posted two screenshots. The first showed Uphold asking what users would do if XRP reached $1000, which had only 10 likes.
The second showed the company asking if Bitcoin could reach $100,000 in one day, and it had 150 likes and more comments and retweets. He pointed out that the inflated figures were just an easy way for Uphold to get engagement on its posts.
Uphold’s previous discussions about XRP reaching $1,000 were a response to the XRP community’s hopes and not Uphold’s predictions. The Uphold-Ripple partnership is focused on improving cross-border payments, just like SBI Remit’s recent adoption of XRP for global payments.
