A popular market commentator has outlined what he described as realistic price targets for XRP and other major cryptocurrencies.
As the broader crypto market rebounds from December lows, prices have continued to trend higher. XRP, for instance, has rebounded significantly, rising from $1.84, where it began trading this year, to $2.41.
Amid this rally, prominent market pundit Mario Nawfal shared his XRP price prediction. It also included his expectations for other leading digital assets, emphasizing that the projections are achievable targets.
XRP to $4–a Realistic Target
In a post on X, Nawfal set a ‘realistic target’ price of $4 for XRP. At the same time, he highlighted similar outlooks for other major cryptocurrencies, suggesting that Bitcoin could climb to $145,000, Ethereum to $7,000, and Solana to $500.
For context, XRP traded near $4 during the 2018 bull cycle, when it reached an all-time high of $3.84. It also moved close to reclaiming that zone in July 2025, but momentum faded after XRP climbed to $3.65, triggering a sharp pullback.
However, XRP has since reignited its upward momentum this year, leading market commentator Mario Nawfal to describe $4 as an achievable target.
At its current price of $2.39, XRP would need to rally by roughly 67% to reach that level. Such a move would mark a new all-time high, lifting XRP’s market cap to approximately $242.7 billion.
Notably, Nawfal posed the question to his audience, asking whether the $4 target is realistic. Considering XRP requires only a 70% price rally to get there, that magnitude of growth appears well within XRP’s capabilities, especially considering its historical context.
For example, in December 2024, the token surged by more than 400%. Therefore, a 70% advance appears modest when compared to XRP’s past performances. Meanwhile, the coin faces strong resistance zones in the $3 region, which could delay the journey.
What Other Analysts Think
Nawfal’s commentary aligns with broader sentiment across the XRP community. Some pundits like Zach Rector argue that the token could replicate its June–July performance, when it climbed to $3.65.
At the same time, Nawfal’s projection has triggered mixed reactions among market commentators. One commentator agreed that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana could reach the targets Nawfal outlined, but expressed skepticism about XRP’s ability to surge to $4. The comment cites concerns about its volatility.
XRP Emerges as Best Performer Among Top 10 Cryptos
At press time, XRP is already outperforming its peers in the short term. Among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap, it ranks as the best performer over the past 24 hours.
Data from CoinMarketCap shows that XRP has gained 12.48% in one day, significantly ahead of Cardano — the second-best performer, which rose just 5.56% over the same period. This surge has also pushed XRP’s seven-day gain to 27.81%.
While XRP is currently benefiting from a broader market relief rally, investors remain optimistic that the momentum can extend further. That confidence is being fueled by continued accumulation, as more XRP exits the open market through ETF products and treasury acquisitions, potentially tightening supply and supporting higher prices.
