During his Squawk Box appearance on December 16, 2022, Jim Cramer said $XRP was “destined to be wiped out,” together with Dogecoin ($DOGE) and Litecoin ($LTC).
The Mad Money host viewed the cryptocurrencies as weak compared to Bitcoin (BTC) and thus not promising in the long run.
“It’s like $80 billion worth of non-Bitcoin that’s really destined to be wiped out. There are still people who conflate blockchain with them,” Cramer said.
"I think you should be negative on #crypto. I'm negative on $XRP, $LTC, and $DOGE because I haven't been able to find anyone that takes them," says @jimcramer. "It's like $80 billion worth of non-Bitcoin that's destined to be wiped out." pic.twitter.com/lrFbjtT0Wn

Nearly three years later, however, the token is not only still alive but also enjoying a price Cramer would have found unthinkable back then.
Namely, $XRP price has climbed from $0.35 after the broadcast to $2.41 at the time of writing, November 3, 2025, being nearly 590% in the green.
$XRP continues to grow
While $XRP has certainly grown since Cramer’s false predictions, the AI $XRP price prediction outlook is still strengthening as new institutional developments fuel investor enthusiasm.
Namely, the $XRP ecosystem is set for a major expansion in November, with Canary Capital’s $XRP ETF expected around November 13–14, followed by a Bitwise product later in the month. Ripple also rolled out Ripple Prime in the U.S. on November 3, offering spot prime brokerage and over-the-counter (OTC) trading services for major digital assets.
From a technical standpoint, $XRP price forecast remains capped below key resistance, with a push to $2.90 contingent on clearing $2.70. Moreover, support near $2.40 continues to hold, suggesting limited near-term downside unless broader crypto sentiment weakens.
Still, not everyone is convinced. Analyst Ali Martinez, for instance, warns of a possible retest of $2.25. Yet historically, November has been one of $XRP’s strongest months, with a median 25% gain, lending support to near-term growth.
