Expectations around XRP reaching the $100 price level have circulated within the crypto industry in the past few months, often resurfacing during periods of strong bullish momentum. As 2025 draws to a close, those expectations are facing reevaluations. Despite intermittent rallies during the year and strong conviction among long-term holders, XRP is currently trading far from triple-digit territory. This gap between optimism and market reality has pushed some voices within the XRP community to reassess timelines to reach such a valuation. Zach Rector Pushes The $100 XRP Perspective To 2030 One of the most notable revisions comes from Zach Rector, a longtime XRP supporter who has openly adjusted his outlook. In a recent post on the social media platform X, Rector stated plainly that his expectation for XRP to reach $100 now sits around the year 2030. This position is a clear review of chatter from many XRP enthusiasts that envisions a $100 XRP as an imminent outcome within the current cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin Just Entered Extreme Oversold Levels And Analysts Predict New ATH Targets Rector had already begun tempering expectations as far back as early November, when he acknowledged that XRP was unlikely to reach $100 before the end of the year. At the time, he noted that meaningful price appreciation was still possible, even if the most extreme targets are out of reach. At the time, he noted that saying XRP isn’t going to $100 this year feels like telling a kid Santa isn’t real. Why $100 In 2025 Has Become Increasingly Unlikely The idea of XRP reaching $100 within a single market cycle faces mathematical and liquidity constraints. At current supply levels of 60 billion XRP, such a price would imply a market capitalization deep into the multi-trillion-dollar range, putting XRP among the most valuable assets in the global financial system. As the year winds down, there is little evidence of the scale of capital inflows required to support that kind of valuation in the near term. Although bullish sentiment is strong in parts of the XRP community, market conditions have not aligned with the aggressive assumptions. Therefore, a 2025 timeline for $100 XRP has moved from ambitious to implausible, even for optimistic analysts. Related Reading: Bitcoin Just Entered Extreme Oversold Levels And Analysts Predict New ATH Targets Rector has previously attempted to ground the $100 discussion in simple market principles. In a post shared earlier this year, he outlined the scale of inflows required to drive XRP to major price milestones using conservative market cap multipliers. According to his estimates, reaching $100 would require between $11 billion and $58 billion in net inflows, assuming a 100x market cap multiplier. Higher targets, such as $1,000, would demand inflows between $118 billion and $589 billion. Therefore, the $100 target is achievable towards the end of the decade, though not without sustained institutional participation and inflows into Spot XRP ETFs.

The recent Bitcoin price decline has already triggered a major sell-off wave across the crypto market, and it doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. While trading below $90,000, there are a number of implications for the pioneer cryptocurrency depending on the next move. The tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears makes either direction possible, and with major levels lying at risk, a crypto analyst has analyzed what the consequences of each move could be. How Bitcoin Price Could Play Out Either Way Crypto analyst HAMED_AZ analyzes the Bitcoin price chart, pointing out the current trend and what could lead to either a recovery or a crash. First, the crypto analyst outlines that the bitcoin price is now in a corrective phase. This began with the all-time high record of $126,000, and since then, the cryptocurrency has lost more than $35,000 of its value. Related Reading: Citi Projects $143,000 Base Case For Bitcoin In 12-Month Outlook The corrective phase also places the cryptocurrency inside a tight range, holding it between $84,000 and $94,000. Both of these levels have served as major support and resistance in the past, making them the points to beat that will determine the next move. A continuation of trading inside this range ensures that the Bitcoin price does not see any major move. The main move will happen when either of these support or resistance levels is broken, depending on which camp is able to pull the momentum in their favor. Bull Or Bear Case To Watch Out For The first case is if the Bitcoin bulls are able to crush the resistance that has been mounting at $94,000 over the last week. Since the expectations for an upward move are high, if it does play out this way, then it would push the Bitcoin price toward retesting this resistance level. Related Reading: Don’t Expect A Fast Bitcoin Move – Here’s How Long The Last Leg Could Take If the breakout is confirmed and the resistance fails, then the crypto analyst believes that the Bitcoin price will once again cross above the psychological level of $100,000. The main target lies as high as $108,000 before the momentum runs out. However, there is still the possibility of the bears taking control if they are able to push the price below the $84,000 support. This level acted as the major support in the last downtrend, so it has become the level to hold. Failure to secure this level would trigger a crash that could send the Bitcoin price as low as $72,000. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
