Trump’s speech signals ongoing conflict, dims ceasefire chances

A recent paper by the Bitcoin Policy Institute on Taiwan opens with a familiar 
argument that the country&#8217;s reserves are overconcentrated in dollars. Gold 
underperforms its potential, and Bitcoin could complement both. Readers who 
stop there miss the more consequential claim buried in the blockade-and- 
invasion framework on pages 5 through 7, where the paper is […]

Reserve assets face new test as sanctions risk pushes Bitcoin into policy debate

The XRP price reaching $20 may take several years, according to a market 
pundit who recently outlined a long-range roadmap for the digital asset. His 
projection places the milestone near the end of the decade while suggesting 
the current market phase could still present opportunities before the next 
major expansion begins. XRP Price Path To $20 By 2030 Outlined In Multi-Year 
Forecast Crypto analyst ChartNerd recently argued that a $20 target for XRP by 
2030 closely aligns with his broader outlook for the asset. In a post shared 
on March 28, he explained that while the market may still be navigating a 
bearish stretch, the period leading into 2026 could represent an accumulation 
phase before a stronger multi-year rally unfolds. Related Reading: The Bitcoin 
Bottom: Pundit Reveals The 5 Phases To Know When The Bleed Has Ended His 
projection outlines a gradual climb toward the $20 milestone within the 
decade. According to the model, XRP could trade between $2.65 and $4.87 in 
2025, with an average estimate of $3.16. The following year marks the first 
significant step higher. For 2026, the forecast places the asset within a 
range of $4.94 to $6.18, with an average price of $5.53. The analyst suggested 
this period could provide market participants with an opportunity before a 
larger upward move begins. Momentum is projected to build further in the years 
that follow. By 2027, XRP is expected to reach between $6.23 and $8.71, 
averaging roughly $7.16. The following year could push the asset into 
consistent double-digit territory, with projections for 2028 ranging from 
$8.78 to $12.84. The trajectory accelerates closer to the end of the decade. 
For 2029, the forecast places XRP between $13.06 and $16.76, suggesting the 
asset may approach the final stage before reaching the long-discussed $20 
mark. The key year in the model is 2030. At that point, projections place the 
minimum value near $16.86, the average at $18.34, and the upper range slightly 
above $20 at $20.03. This timeline forms the basis for the analyst’s view that 
the $20 level is achievable but most likely several years away. The long-term 
outlook extends even further. Projections indicate XRP could climb to an 
average of $38.16 by 2035, around $63.86 by 2040, and potentially exceed $115 
on average by 2050 if adoption and market expansion continue over multiple 
cycles. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sell-Offs Are Ramping Up As Price Struggles, 
But Where Is All That BTC Going To? Pundit’s Earlier Commentary Reinforces 
Long-Term Targets The analyst had earlier shared a chart suggesting the XRP 
price could reach about $27 by 2030. The chart uses a time-based Fibonacci 
model comparing XRP’s previous cycle with the current one. During the 
2014–2018 cycle, the asset moved through several Fibonacci extension levels 
before completing its major rally. Applying the same structure to the current 
market cycle highlights possible targets near $8 and $13, with a higher 
extension around $27. The chart and the analyst’s recent projections indicate 
that reaching $20 may take several years, while the broader cycle could 
potentially extend even higher if the pattern continues to play out. Featured
