A crypto pundit has shared a bold XRP price prediction, using AI analysis and 
outlining several market drivers and ongoing developments that could fuel the 
rally. In the analysis, the expert projects that in 2026, XRP could 
potentially skyrocket to $10 and by 2035, the cryptocurrency could reach 
historical highs above $500. Although the analyst maintains a broadly bullish 
outlook for XRP’s price, he urged investors and traders to take the forecast 
“with a grain of salt,” noting that it remains speculative. XRP Price Forecast 
From 2026 To 2030 In an X post shared on April 22, crypto market analyst 
Vincent Van Code outlined a highly bullish forecast for the XRP price over the 
next decade. Van Code said he had been conducting extensive Large Language 
Model (LLM) studies of the XRP ecosystem, factoring in multiple variables and 
market metrics to develop a detailed short- and long-term outlook for the 
cryptocurrency. He also acknowledged using Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, to 
help refine parts of his modeling and reinforce his projections. Related

the first phase of his outlook, covering 2026 to 2030, Van Code projects a 
strong, multi-year expansion in the XRP price. Notably, he expects the 
cryptocurrency to climb from $6 at the start of the period to as high as $200 
by the end of the 5th year. For 2026, Van Code stated that his end-of-year 
optimistic price target for XRP is between $6 and $10, representing a 329% to 
614% increase from its current price above $1.4. He also projected that the 
network’s estimated annual on-chain bridged volume could increase 
significantly, possibly reaching between $400 billion and $800 billion. He 
attributed this potential growth to several key market drivers, including the 
official implementation of the CLARITY Act, early stages of Treasury 
migration, representing around 1-3% of a projected $13 trillion pipeline, and 
continued growth in XRP’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL). He also pointed to the 
initial LP seeding across 5-10 core trading pairs, including XRP/RLUSD and key 
corridors. For 2027-2030, Van Code projects that XRP could rise from $15 to 
$200, alongside a sharp increase in its annual bridged volume from between 
$1.2 trillion to $20 trillion. He noted that various ecosystem and market 
factors could drive this rally. This includes increased adoption of DEXs 
attracting institutional liquidity providers, as well as the expansion of 
RLUSD, which he said could boost demand for XRP as a neutral bridging asset 
across APAC and non-USD settlement corridors. The analyst also highlighted 
that the price could increase based on proven ROI from live Treasury flows and 
the growing adoption of XRP and Ripple. Van Code XRP could also see wider 
corridor expansion and self-sustaining LP growth over those four years. For 
2030, he expects a rally to between $100-$200, driven by XRP potentially 
capturing 3-6% of the global liquidity layer, among other factors. XRP Price 
Prediction For 2031 To 2035 Van Code expects XRP to continue projecting 
upwards from 2031 to 2035, potentially reaching a peak above $650 or settling 
at an average price of about $500. For 2031, he predicts a rally to between 
$150 and $280, with a more controlled surge in annualized bridged volume from 
$18 trillion to $28,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $140,000 And XRP To $7? 
Here’s When It Will Happen During this period, XRP’s rally is expected to be 
driven by maturing tokenized asset markets and interoperability among CBDCs. 
He also noted that the cryptocurrency could begin functioning as an integrated 
infrastructure for bridging. From 2032 to 2035, prices are expected to jump 
from $380 to $650, with annualized bridge volume skyrocketing from $38 
trillion to over $75 trillion. Potential factors expected to fuel this massive 
surge in value include XRP adoption by fintechs and neobanks globally, 
sustained growth in emerging markets, and supply predictability from escrowed 
tokens. The analyst also said that during the final two years, XRP could 
become the default neutral bridge in global workflows. Additionally, he 
believes the cryptocurrency could capture a meaningful share of the global 
cross-border liquidity. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from
