In a recent video, analyst Steph discussed what 2,000 $XRP tokens could be worth by the end of the 2025 bull cycle.
According to him, $XRP’s market dominance, after years of decline, has finally broken out of a long-term downtrend dating back to 2017.
Historically, $XRP reached a market dominance of around 30% during the last powerful bull cycle. At the time of Steph’s recording, $XRP held roughly 4% of the total crypto market share. Meanwhile, Bitcoin dominated at 62% and Ethereum at around 10%.
Steph suggests that if $XRP can reclaim its previous dominance highs, it could significantly boost the token’s value and reward today’s investors. He leveraged various market assumptions for $XRP to forecast the potential worth of 2,000 coins.
Scenario 1: Conservative Market Cap, Major $XRP Upside
In the first scenario, Steph assumes the total crypto market cap remains stagnant at $3.48 trillion, which he describes as highly conservative. If $XRP regains 30% market dominance, the token could see a 7.5x increase from its current level.
With a then-current price of $2.13 per $XRP, this scenario implies a target price of $17.10 per token. That would bring the value of 2,000 $XRP to $34,200. Compared to the current investment of around $4,650, that’s a potential return of 635%, even without any overall market cap growth.
However, the likelihood of this outcome remains speculative, as it assumes $XRP alone experiences massive growth while other assets remain relatively flat.
Scenario 2: Market Cap Doubles, $XRP Hits $34
Steph’s second scenario assumes a more optimistic market environment, where the total crypto market cap doubles to $6.96 trillion.
With the same 30% market dominance, $XRP’s price would rise to $34.20. Under this projection, 2,000 $XRP tokens could be worth $68,400, representing a gain of over 1,370% from current levels.
Steph emphasizes that this scenario is possible and probable, given growing institutional interest and broader crypto adoption trends. Notably, several institutions have disclosed plans to hold $XRP as a treasury asset. Others have filed for ETF products involving $XRP.
Technical Pattern Supports Bullish Outlook
Beyond market dominance, Steph highlighted a key technical formation on $XRP’s monthly chart: a double bottom (W) pattern, with a confirmed breakout above the neckline and monthly closes above previous all-time highs.
The target price from this chart formation is approximately $30 per $XRP, aligning closely with the target in Scenario 2.
“This is extremely bullish,” Steph noted, pointing out how the chart pattern supports both a market cap doubling and a return to historical dominance levels.
Despite the bullish outlook, Steph tempers expectations by noting there are no guarantees $XRP will return to 30% dominance. Meanwhile, he noted even a rise to 15–20% could still deliver strong gains for investors.
