XRP might be currently trading around $2, but its path to double and four 
digits may be faster than imagined. Notably, a bold new forecast has shaken up 
the XRP community, as crypto analyst BarriC declared that the token could 
explode from $2 to $1,000 much faster than anyone expects. His comments have 
caused a bit of optimism among investors, many of whom are already eyeing a 
new all-time high as momentum builds following the cryptocurrency&#8217;s recent 
quarterly close above $2.25. XRP’s Rise To $1,000 Based On History Taking to 
the social media platform X, prominent analyst BarriC predicted that the XRP 
price will surge to $1,000 a lot sooner than most people anticipate. Notably, 
BarriC’s prediction of a surge draws on the cryptocurrency’s historical 
performance. Related Reading: Can The XRP Price Rally 1,538x To Reach $3,380? 
Shocking Prediction Back in 2017, XRP was trading at just $0.006 before 
launching into a parabolic bull run that took it as high as $3.40 by early 
2018. Investors back then underestimated this move, and only a few were able 
to get in at the earliest. This $3.40 all-time high has been maintained by the 
altcoin for over seven years, but the situation might change very soon. The 
altcoin&#8217;s current price level, which is just above $2, is a mirror of that 
early accumulation phase. According to BarriC, investors today may similarly 
be underestimating how quickly XRP can move. “People buying XRP at $0.006 in 
2017 weren’t expecting it to skyrocket to $3.80,” he wrote on X and suggested 
that a similar underestimation is happening today. Community Torn Between Hope 
And Doubt His claim, “XRP will skyrocket from $2 to $1,000 a lot sooner than 
people anticipate,” has been met with mixed reactions of both excitement and 
skepticism on the social media platform. Some community members were quick to 
support BarriC’s outlook, with one user responding, “XRP $1,400 is very 
realistic.” The statement was in reference to its 63,000% rise in the 
2017-2018 bull run emphasized by BarriC. Another user commented that although 
XRP will definitely reach that price level, it won&#8217;t be very soon, and it will 
be &#8220;maybe sometime in 2030 to 2040.&#8221; Related Reading: Pundit Predicts XRP 
Price Will Surge 35,000% When These Two Things Happen Others, however, urged 
caution, pointing out that XRP is no longer an underdog. Unlike in 2017, XRP’s 
growth is now very much anticipated, which may dampen the element of surprise 
that helped its rally seven years ago. Another factor is the current state of 
the altcoin, along with the significant inflows that could lead to a rally of 
63,000% from its current price level. One of the commenters noted that back in 
2018, it was possible to invest as little as $6,000 and own as many as 1 
million XRP tokens. Another community member noted that although XRP might not 
reach such an absurd price target, it is going to break out soon to around 
$10. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.33, up by 2.6% in the past 
24 hours. Reaching the $1,000 price target would translate to a 42,800% return 
from the current levels. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from
