According to Digital Ascension Group’s Managing Director Jake Claver, XRP 
could reach a price level that brings a dramatic shift in how value moves on 
its network. He argues that higher token prices make the system more 
efficient. Claver even lays out a bold target of $10,000 per XRP, and he says 
that can happen within 24 months. The idea has reignited talk of crypto’s next 
big rally. Related Reading: Record‑High Ethereum Open Interest Signals 
Institutional Confidence Price And Liquidity Efficiency According to Claver, 
moving large sums on the XRP ledger depends on token price. At $1 per XRP, you 
need 1,000,000 tokens to shift $1 million. If the price rose to $10, only 
100,000 tokens would do the job. And in a world where one XRP costs $1 
million, a single token could cover that same $1 million transfer. This math 
shows why Claver believes price and network efficiency go hand in hand. Does 
XRP need to be a certain price to move large amounts of money?

Market Cap Implications XRP trades near $2.24 today, with a market cap of 
about $131.7 billion. At $10,000 per token, that cap would swell to over $585 
trillion. Claver treats that huge number as a sign of strength rather than a 
warning. He says market cap rules don’t apply the same way to XRP. But critics 
point out you can’t assume that every token sits ready to trade. Actual 
liquidity comes from orders on exchanges and funds in liquidity pools, not 
just a headline market cap. Timeline And Skepticism Claver doesn’t shy away 
from timing. He told his followers that the $10,000 mark could arrive within 
24 months. Some hear that as a call to buy now. Others see it as wildly 
optimistic. To reach that level, XRP would need to climb more than 500,000% 
from today’s price. Even Bitcoin, with far more adoption, took about four 
years to go from $1,200 to $68,000 in the last cycle. Cranking out a similar 
or bigger gain in half the time would require huge new demand. Community 
Reaction And Risks Based on reports, Claver’s claim has attracted both cheers 
and jeers. Some XRP fans embrace the vision. Others worry it sets unrealistic 
hopes. Alex Caraco, former CEO of an Australian stock market firm, summed up a 
common view: “It’s sad to see buyers sold the story of $10,000 XRP happening 
tomorrow.” Critics say such talk distracts from real issues like regulatory 
hurdles, exchange listings and developer growth. Related Reading: Amid Bitcoin

XRP is expected to dip slightly—by around 0.70%—with projections placing its 
value at $2.23 by July 17, 2025. Current indicators paint a neutral market 
mood, with the Fear &amp; Greed Index leaning heavily toward Neutral at a score of 
57. Over the past month, XRP has closed in the green on 16 out of 30 days, 
experiencing a modest 3.70% in price swings. Featured image from Imagen, chart
