Discussions about $XRP reaching a new all-time high have gained momentum recently, as the asset attempts another historic price breakout.
As $XRP makes a renewed attempt to approach the $3 mark this week, the move has emboldened some market commentators who continue to issue ambitious projections for where $XRP is headed.
In a tweet, the influencer behind “The Modern Investor” sparked a conversation about $XRP reaching $9. Specifically, he boldly asserted that $XRP would break $9 by September 2025.
He issued this projection with a question, asking investors if they would sell their $XRP tokens when the asset claims the $9 mark. With $XRP trading at $2.45 today, reaching the $9 target would reward current holders with a 267% gain.
This price would also mark a new all-time high for $XRP, bringing it closer to the much-cherished double-digit range. It is worth mentioning that a $9 price puts $XRP’s market cap at approximately half a trillion dollars. This development would place $XRP in direct rivalry with the valuations of Mastercard and Netflix.
While this may seem like an ambitious outlook, numerous market commentators agree on the possibility of $XRP reaching, and surpassing, $9 this cycle.
Industry Voices Calling for $XRP $9+ This Year
Recently, market analyst DK64Trades expressed that $XRP could “easily” surpass $10 this cycle, dismissing skepticism about higher price targets. He highlighted a stark contrast in $XRP’s market dominance: 31.33% during its $3.84 peak in 2018 vs. just 5% at $3.34 in January 2025.
He suggests that if $XRP regains its previous dominance, its market cap could hit $1.04 trillion, implying a potential price of $17.80, based on the current $3.33 trillion global crypto market cap.
Meanwhile, market watcher Capt Toblerone projects the crypto market could reach $35 trillion this cycle, with $XRP attaining a $1.25 trillion market cap. He also expects Bitcoin’s dominance to fall sharply from over 62% to around 17%, creating room for significant altcoin growth. In this scenario, he anticipates $XRP could reach $22 per token.
Beyond charts and market cap speculation, Bitcoin evangelist Davinci Jeremie recently argued that $XRP has a good chance of reaching $24 by the end of this year. Jeremie emphasized that $XRP is seeing strong political backing from the highest office in the United States, which could influence its price appreciation.
Others with a More Conservative Outlook
While these analysts are confident about $XRP’s potential this year, other popular prediction platforms have offered a more extended timeline for when $XRP might reach $9.
For instance, Telegaon suggests $XRP could hit $9 in 2026, but only in a hyper-bullish market. From 2027 onward, it sees the $9 price as the minimum. Crypto exchange Changelly shares a similar outlook, noting that $XRP may not reach $9 until 2028.
