A new wave of buzz has hit the XRP community after an expert shared a teasing 
message on Twitter. Related Reading: XRP Traders Pull Back $2.4B—Brace For 
Impact Or Buy The Dip? Crypto analyst Armando Pantoja, a member of the 
Benzinga Crypto Advisory Board, said he just got off a call with contacts in 
Washington, D.C. and hinted that XRP is “about to explode.” He couldn’t give 
details, but he left a clear sign that something big might be on the way. His 
words “Big Move Incoming” and the tip that holders of at least 1,000 XRP are 
already ahead of the curve have pushed traders to watch the token more 
closely. How 1,000 XRP Stands Out According to data from the XRP Rich List, 
there are about 6.8 million XRP wallets in existence. Close to 6 million of 
those are retail wallets holding fewer than 1,000 XRP. Only 10% of wallets 
hold more than 2,438 XRP. Those numbers suggest that owning at least 1,000 
coins puts you well above the average holder. Based on analysis, even 3,300 
XRP—worth around $9,000 at today’s prices—could place an investor among the 
top tier of XRP owners. Just got off a call with my insiders in DC… I can’t 
say much, but $XRP is about to explode. I don&#8217;t know exactly when, but soon. 
If you’ve got 1,000 XRP, you’re already ahead of the curve. This could be the 
move that changes everything. — Armando Pantoja (@_TallGuyTycoon) July 29, 
2025 Insider Teases Big Move According to Pantoja’s tweet, the timing of the 
coming news might be tight. He didn’t spell out when his contacts expect the 
“explode” moment. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at about $3.14. That 
makes a 1,000‑token stack cost near $3,000. If Pantoja’s hint proves accurate, 
early buyers could see strong gains. But the lack of specifics means it’s hard 
to know whether he’s talking about new rules from US regulators, an 
institutional deal, or just fueling excitement. Varied Expert Price Targets 
Some believe XRP could rally more than 300x to exceed $1,000 per token. And 
some analysts even suggested that price could hit that level as early as next 
year. For instance, analyst Jake Claver of Digital Ascension Group estimated 
that 6,000 XRP would generate $300,000 in annual income at a $1,000 price, 
enough for a comfortable US lifestyle in many areas. If you own any XRP, I 
believe you&#8217;re already ahead of a whole lot of people. The key is defining 
what &#8220;rich&#8221; means to you. Here&#8217;s a clip from my last stream with 
@digitaloutlook3 For some, it&#8217;s freedom from a 9–5. For others, it&#8217;s funding a 
dream lifestyle with passive income.… pic.twitter.com/zBzWJcKi76 — Jake 
Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) July 22, 2025 On the other hand, other market 
observers have urged investors to aim for 40,000 or 50k XRP—currently worth 
over $150,000—while planning for more moderate price goals. Those forecasts 
differ widely, reflecting both hope and caution in the community. What’s Next 
For XRP? In the end, Pantoja’s tip and the on‑chain figures give retail 
holders reason to pay attention. But without clear details from his D.C. 
contacts, it’s hard to say if this is a signal to buy more or simply another 
wave of hype. Related Reading: Countdown To August 15: What XRP Investors Need 
To Know Investors thinking of adding to their stacks should set clear goals,

you hold 1,000 XRP or 50,000 XRP, now might be the time to rethink your 
strategy—and stay ready for whatever comes next. Featured image from Meta,
