Talk of XRP reaching $100 began gaining momentum this cycle, following the 
resolution of the legal battle involving Ripple and the US Securities and 
Exchange Commission. Interestingly, the attention in recent months has been 
toward XRP’s role in global finance and how this might have an effect on its 
price action. That trend has led to different interpretations of how the XRP 
price can trade at $100 in the near future. A notable interpretation was 
recently articulated by analysts at Bayberry Capital, who proposed on the 
social media platform X that $100 should be seen as a liquidity event number, 
not a price target tied to timing. Why XRP At $100 Is A Liquidity Event 
Bayberry Capital’s outlook on XRP price shooting up to $100 is based on how 
markets reprice assets once their function becomes essential. According to the 
private digital asset investment firm, infrastructure assets do not typically 
rise in smooth, incremental moves. They tend to be re-rated when the market 
recognizes that their utility has changed from optional to necessary. Related

digital assets rely on attention and continuous inflows of new buyers. 
However, XRP was designed differently as a liquidity instrument built to move 
value efficiently across systems. When demand is dictated by settlement and 
transactional use, price dynamics change. In that setting, value can be pulled 
upward by usage itself, not just by sentiment. A liquidity event is a moment 
when an asset’s ability to be converted, transferred, or absorbed by the 
market changes materially and permanently. From this perspective, $100 is a 
natural price level for XRP to be at that point. Another element of the view 
by Bayberry Capital is the absence of a deadline for this to happen. The 
liquidity event where the XRP price is priced at $100 is not defined by a 
specific year. Instead, it depends on direction. If global finance keeps 
moving toward faster settlement and digital liquidity rails, assets built for 
that purpose will undoubtedly be repriced accordingly. How This View Connects 
To Other $100 XRP Predictions Bayberry Capital’s commentary exists alongside a 
broader set of long-term views that started after XRP’s legal clarity, its 
push to new all-time highs in mid-2025, and the different partnerships and 
acquisitions made by Ripple to increase the utility of XRP. Related Reading:

Since then, several analysts and commentators have discussed scenarios where 
XRP could eventually trade at $100, with the proposed factors often tied to 
use in global settlement and institutional demand. Figures such as Zach 
Rector, crypto commentator 24hrscrypto, world&#8217;s highest IQ claimant Young Hoon 
Kim, and BarriC have all been linked to $100 XRP price scenarios over the 
coming years. These views are always debated by critics, particularly on 
market cap considerations, but they share a common assumption that XRP would 
need to function as a global payments infrastructure in order for this to 
happen. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com

According to Farside Investors data, US investors put close to $32 billion

in the year. Related Reading: Crypto Headed For A $10 Trillion Future? 
Hoskinson Says RWA Is The Key Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew the biggest share, with 
$21.4 billion in net inflows. That is smaller than the $35 billion that poured 
into Bitcoin ETFs in 2024. Blackrock Dominates Flows BlackRock’s iShares 
Bitcoin Trust ETF, IBIT, accounted for most of the activity. Reports show IBIT 
took in about $24.7 billion. That makes its inflows roughly five times larger 
than the nearest rival, Fidelity’s FBTC. Market watchers noted IBIT ranked 
near the top among all ETF flows, placing behind only a few broad index funds 
and a big treasury bond fund. If IBIT’s number is removed, the wider spot 
Bitcoin ETF group actually finished the year with about $3 billion in combined 
outflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin product lost nearly $4 billion on the year. 
Bitcoin’s price was lower than at the start of 2025; it began the year around 
$93,500. Ethereum Interest Strong But Cooling Based on reports, interest in 
Ethereum ETFs was real, but the momentum looks uneven. BlackRock’s iShares 
Ethereum Trust, ETHA, sits at nearly $12.6 billion in inflows. Fidelity’s FETH 
follows at $2.6 billion, while Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust ETF holds about 
$1.5 billion. Still, public on-chain data showed little renewed demand for 
spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in the last month of the year, suggesting flows 
may slow into 2026. Ether ETFs benefited from being new and giving investors a 
regulated way to own ETH, but recent days have seen quieter buying. Spot Ether 
ETFs, which only became widely tradable after their July 2024 launch, gathered 
$9.6 billion in their first full year. Spot Solana ETFs, launched in late 
October, added $765 million through year end. Altcoin ETFs Show Curiosity, Not 
Frenzy Litecoin and XRP ETFs also began trading in the latter half of the 
year, giving investors more choices for regulated altcoin exposure. The sums 
are small compared with Bitcoin and Ether. Solana’s $765 million is an example 
of early interest that has not yet turned into a large, steady stream of 
assets. These products are being tested by the market. Related Reading: Gold
