Pundit: XRP Will Skyrocket from $2 to $1,000 Sooner than People Anticipate

Prominent XRP commentator BarriC shared a strong prediction about the future trajectory of XRP in a recent post on X. Drawing on historical precedent from 2017 and 2018, BarriC argued that investors buying XRP at its current $2 price could see similar dramatic returns.

He wrote: “People buying $XRP at $0.006 in 2017 weren’t expecting #XRP to skyrocket to $3.80 in 2018. This is exactly what will happen with $XRP and the people buying it right now at $2. $XRP will skyrocket from $2 to $1,000 a lot sooner than people anticipate.”

The analyst’s comment reflects a conviction that the market still underestimates XRP in terms of appreciation.

BarriC’s reference to XRP’s meteoric rise in late 2017 underscores his thesis. The asset increased from fractions of a cent to nearly $4 within about a year, one of the most dramatic moves in cryptocurrency history. He suggests that a similar dynamic could drive XRP to a four-digit price point faster than market participants currently assume.

Their view acknowledges the possibility of significant gains but casts doubt on the pace suggested by BarriC, projecting instead a longer period extending into the next decade.

Just look at Solana, Nvidia — the real moves come when no one’s ready.” Markus argued that widespread awareness of XRP’s potential could undermine the kind of surprise rally seen in its earlier history, and that market dynamics tend to favor unexpected developments over widely anticipated outcomes.

Broader Implications of BarriC’s Perspective

BarriC’s prediction invites renewed attention to the conditions that might support a dramatic rise in XRP’s value. His comment suggests confidence in factors such as institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and broader market cycles that could create a similar environment to 2017–2018.

His suggestion that $1,000 XRP could arrive “a lot sooner than people anticipate” positions his view firmly against more conservative timelines, such as those mentioned by other users who see such prices as plausible only years into the future.

While opinions remain divided, the comparison between past and potential future performance provides a framework for assessing XRP’s prospects.
