Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver is still arguing that XRP could reach 
both three-digit and four-digit price territory before 2030, even if the US 
Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is not yet in place. In his latest YouTube 
comments, Claver framed that outcome not as a simple market cycle call, but as 
a function of utility, liquidity, and a potential supply shock tied to 
institutional adoption. Could the Clarity Act Be The Trigger For $1,000 XRP? 
His central point is that XRP would need to reach a much higher price before 
it could be used at the scale he envisions for back-end settlement across 
tokenized markets. “I really think three and four digits are both possible 
prior to the Clarity Act,” Claver said. “I think that three digits is much 
more likely prior to the Clarity Act and four digits could absolutely come 
after the Clarity Act. And the reason for that is it really can&#8217;t start being 
used for back-end settlement till it&#8217;s at least three digits at scale.” That 
logic sits at the heart of his thesis. Claver is not describing price 
appreciation as a side effect of utility arriving later. He is arguing the 
reverse: that XRP must first reach what he called a kind of critical mass in 
price and liquidity before large-scale settlement usage can begin. In his 
telling, a low-priced asset would not have the bandwidth required to handle 
settlement flows tied to markets such as equities, foreign exchange, 
commodities, or tokenized real-world assets. Related Reading: Pundit Explains 
How XRP Becomes A Global Reserve Asset He also argued that XRP is positioned 
unusually well for that transition. Claver said banks can already hold crypto 
to settle transactions, citing what he described as authority from the OCC, 
and added that XRP is “already a commodity” in the US in his view. He pointed 
to XRP’s listing on Bitnomial against USD and its treatment there alongside 
Bitcoin and Ether as part of that reasoning. From there, the argument becomes 
more aggressive. Claver said a crisis moment could trigger the kind of supply 
shock needed to force XRP materially higher. “I think it&#8217;s in a unique 
position to be used in a crisis moment and we&#8217;ll have a supply shock that 
pushes it to at least three digits,” he said. “But four digits could happen 
before the Clarity Act, but I think I don&#8217;t have a certainty on that. It could 
be that four digits does not happen until after the Clarity Act is passed.” In 
a separate video, Claver addressed whether XRP could still appreciate 
meaningfully by 2030 even if his broader “domino theory” for adoption never 
fully plays out. His answer was yes, but with limits. Without simultaneous 
demand from exchanges, institutions, markets, and potentially retail, he said 
the “big exponential move” would be hard to achieve, even if ETFs continue to 
consume available supply in OTC venues and dark pools. Related Reading: US- 
Iran War Sparks Crypto Fear, But XRP Stands Out He rejected the idea of a 
fixed repricing or peg, arguing that XRP would need a dynamic price that can 
keep rising as network volume expands. “It needs to be dynamic and fluid,” 
Claver said. “If it is fixed or stagnant like it would be if it was pegged, it 
doesn&#8217;t provide the same bandwidth over the long term.” He tied that to a much 
broader forecast, saying he believes 80% of global value will be tokenized by 
the end of 2030 and that XRP will settle that back-end activity. To illustrate 
the “critical mass” concept, Claver compared XRP to ETF adoption thresholds. 
He said an ETF may need to reach $100 million before certain institutions can 
participate meaningfully, because of position limits and minimum allocation 
sizes. XRP, he argued, faces a similar hurdle: without enough liquidity first, 
meaningful institutional use does not begin; without that use, the extreme 
price targets many holders discuss do not materialize. The result is a thesis 
that rises or falls on one key assumption: that markets will need XRP to be 
expensive before they can use it at scale. If that demand shock arrives, 
Claver sees room for a rapid repricing. If it does not, he suggested, the 
four-digit scenario remains out of reach. At press time, XRP traded at 
$1.4067. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
