OpenAI to shut down Sora app months after launch as focus shifts to agents

“XRP isn’t going to move the way most people expect.” That was the message 
shared by an XRP enthusiast on X, rejecting the idea of a steady climb through 
levels like $2, $3, and $4. Instead, the projection breaks away from 
conventional technical analysis and circulating supply models, predicting that 
XRP’s price could move in a much more exponential, step-change manner. The 
Exponential Pattern For XRP There have been multiple questions as to whether 
XRP&#8217;s next major rally will look like a normal crypto rally or whether it 
could come as a repricing when it is finally tied into real-world financial 
use on a global scale. That outlook was reiterated again after an XRP 
enthusiast on X noted that the cryptocurrency will not climb in clean steps, 
such as $2, $3, and $4, as most people think. Related Reading: XRP Price Crash 
Far From Over And This Move Could Send It To $0.75 Instead, the XRP price will 
leap from current levels into triple, four-digit, or even higher territory 
once it becomes necessary in the financial system. This is not because of hype 
and not because everyone suddenly believes. But just because one day the 
system actually starts using it. This line of thinking often centers on XRP’s 
role as a bridge asset. In such a system, liquidity requirements could force a 
rapid adjustment in price if demand outweighs available supply. It is the same 
reasoning behind repeated claims that XRP will not follow a traditional cycle 
pattern. Similar projections have surfaced from multiple XRP enthusiasts in 
recent months, many of whom link XRP’s long-term upside to institutional 
integration and cross-border settlement flows on the XRP Ledger. 
Interestingly, the pattern described in each case is a massive XRP price climb 
to levels as high as $10,000+. Critics Still Push Back Against These Targets 
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.42, which is far below the 
floated price targets of $100 and above. Despite how popular this theory has 
become within parts of the XRP community, it continues to face strong 
resistance. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Maintaining This Multi-Year 
Trendline, But A Crash Could Be Looming The main challenge to these price 
targets comes down to scale. At current supply levels, even a move to $100 
would place the entire market cap of XRP above $6 trillion and closer to $10 
trillion when considering total supply. This is much higher than some of the 
largest financial assets in the world by total value. That is why more 
conservative projections still dominate institutional outlooks. Analysts and 
research firms that track XRP base their upside in terms of growth relating to 
adoption milestones, regulatory clarity, and institutional capital inflows 
into Spot XRP ETFs, not instant moves into four digits above $1,000. Even 
Ripple CTO emeritus David Schwartz has pushed back on such expectations, 
noting that if the market genuinely believed XRP could trade at $100 very 
soon, its current price would not still be sitting near the $1 range. Featured
