Leading exchange Bitrue has declared that $XRP should already be trading at $10.
The comment came in response to a discussion sparked by real estate mogul Grant Cardone, who stated that Bitcoin should reach $280,000.
While Bitcoin currently trades around $71,200, still down more than 40% from its October 2025 peak of $126,200, market participants offered mixed reactions on how realistic such targets are.
Some traders urged caution, suggesting Bitcoin first needs to reclaim key levels like $84,000 before aiming higher. Others maintained that six-figure and even million-dollar valuations remain possible long term.
Key Points
- Bitrue claims $XRP should already be at $10, implying over 7x upside from its current level near $1.40.
- The statement emerged amid debates over Bitcoin’s price, with mixed views on its path toward $280K targets.
- $XRP’s $10 target would push its market cap above $600B, raising questions about feasibility.
- While some see strong upside, skeptics cite past price trends, supply growth, and market limits.
Bitrue Turns Spotlight to $XRP
Amid the Bitcoin debate, Bitrue shifted attention to $XRP, arguing the asset should be priced at $10.
At press time, $XRP trades near $1.4. While posting a modest daily gain, it has remained down nearly 7% over the past week. The gap between its current price and the $10 target highlights the scale of the implied upside.
Specifically, $XRP needs to surge more than 7X to reach $10, which would give it a $610 billion valuation.
While ambitious, this is not the first time Bitrue has taken a strongly bullish stance on $XRP. The exchange has consistently supported the asset, previously hinting at a potential “moonshot” in March 2025 following the resolution of the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. SEC.
That case officially concluded after the SEC dropped its appeal, a development that briefly sent $XRP soaring close to $2.60 before momentum faded.
$10 Narrative in the Community
Bitrue’s statement adds to a growing narrative that $XRP is significantly undervalued at current levels.
Earlier this month, First Ledger suggested investors were effectively selling what it considers a “$10 coin” at around $1.40. Similarly, market commentators like 24hrscrypto1 have argued that anything below $10 fails to reflect $XRP’s role in evolving global financial infrastructure.
These bullish arguments often point to increasing institutional interest, ETF inflows, and the global shift toward faster, blockchain-based payment systems as key catalysts.
Community Remains Divided
Despite the popular optimism, many express disagreement. Some traders pushed back on Bitrue’s claim, noting that markets rarely move in a straight line or align neatly with projected valuations.

Skeptics also highlight $XRP’s long trading history and its struggle to surpass previous highs. Critics argue that supply growth over the years could limit upside.
Others warn that even if $XRP eventually reaches $10, it could face sharp corrections similar to past cycles.
Ultimately, whether the token can move toward the increasingly discussed $10 level may depend on market conditions, particularly Bitcoin’s trajectory, and renewed demand across retail and institutional investors.
