XRP has been subjected to bold predictions about its future value in the crypto community this cycle. One such prediction came recently from Versan Aljarrah, better known as Black Swan Capitalist, who noted that the stage is set for XRP to hit the $100 mark. Here, he outlined a roadmap on social media that explains how XRP could scale from today’s modest $3 price levels to $100, $1,000, and even beyond. Big Players Need To Start Stacking According to Aljarrah, XRP’s first push to $100 is dependent on accumulation by big players. This is very important, and recent market dynamics have quietly increased this accumulation trend, especially as institutional investors are now anticipating the launch of a Spot XRP ETF anytime soon. Banks, financial institutions, and long-term investors are believed to have been quietly stacking XRP. This steady absorption of supply is creating the perfect conditions for a supply shock.

When falling supply meets rising utility, the price could escalate quickly, and as such, the analyst noted that the stage is set for the token to hit the $100 mark. Moving beyond $100 requires factors that are far greater than only accumulation by big players. According to Aljarrah, moving from $100 to $1,000 requires widespread integration into the global financial system. In order to reach the $1,000 mark, the altcoin would need to switch from retail speculation and become deeply integrated into the financial system and become the go-to digital collateral and a preferred settlement layer. In this scenario, banks, stablecoin issuers, and tokenization platforms would rely on XRP for large-scale liquidity management and high-value settlements. This would cause the velocity of money and total value flowing through the XRP network to expand, and each XRP token would carry a larger share of global activity. This demand is enough to push its valuation to $1,000. Recurring $100 And $1,000 Predictions Aljarrah’s forecast aligns with past bold calls from other voices in the XRP community. Analysts such as EGRAG CRYPTO, Austin Hilton, and BarriC, and even discussions within XRP circles on social media and trading platforms, have suggested that $1,000 is possible under adoption in the realm of traditional finance. Related Reading: Pundit Drops Bombshell On XRP Circulating Supply, ‘It’s Smaller Than You Think’ These predictions vary in their timelines and assumptions but converge on the idea that XRP’s price potential is linked directly to its ability to absorb global liquidity. The idea of XRP going beyond $1,000 and reaching as high as $10,000 under full-scale utility, as Aljarrah suggested, is extreme, but it is possible if XRP reaches its full-scale utility and infinite scalability. At the time of writing, XRP is a long way from reaching the projected $100 and $1,000 price targets. XRP has been inching upward steadily this week. It is now trading at $3.10, up by 2.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto pundit Pumpius is drawing attention to what he calls the “XRP Endgame,” saying all the key pieces are falling into place for Ripple and its token. According to him, these shifts put XRP in a rare position to rise above other digital assets. Global rules and banking standards are also moving in Ripple’s favor at the same time. Pundit: Institutional Rails And Legal Clarity Cement XRP’s Role Pumpius stresses that Ripple’s victory in its long fight with the SEC is not just a legal win but a turning point. After years in court, XRP now has the strongest legal clarity of any cryptocurrency in the U.S. Related Reading: Market Expert Says XRP Price At $1,000 Will Happen, But The Timeline Is Different He also points to Ripple’s launch of RLUSD, its enterprise stablecoin backed by reserves at BNY Mellon. Pumpius notes that this connection matters because BNY Mellon safeguards trillions in assets for global giants, including BlackRock and the U.S. Treasury. Tying a stablecoin to XRP’s payment rails creates what he calls a “stable reserve army” that strengthens trust in Ripple’s network. On the banking front, Pumpius explains that Ripple is not only licensed as a money service business but has also applied for the highly difficult New York banking charter. He adds that Ripple has taken it a step further by applying for a Federal Reserve master account, the highest privilege in the U.S. banking system. If granted, Ripple would not just compete with banks but effectively act as one, placing XRP at the center of financial settlements. XRP ETFs, Ripple’s Global Standards, And Tech Drive Convergence Pumpius notes that nearly 20 XRP spot ETFs are awaiting approval. If greenlit, these funds could open the doors to trillions of dollars from institutional investors and push XRP into the ranks of Wall Street assets overnight. Another major shift is the migration to ISO 20022, a global messaging standard that all major banks must adhere to by November. Pumpius points out that XRP has been ready for this for years, meaning RippleNet can easily connect with traditional banking rails the moment the change takes effect.

Ripple benefits as he notes the rise of a supportive political environment. A pro-crypto administration is pushing laws that fit Ripple’s long-term playbook. With regulators and policymakers leaning in the same direction, he believes the stage is set for XRP to move into its endgame. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

MoneyGram is launching its own entry into the digital custody space with an app designed to hold both traditional fiat currencies and stablecoins. A trial run is scheduled in Colombia before MoneyGram expands to other markets. It’s a carefully planned decision, as most remittances in Colombia come from abroad, usually in USD. The underlying blockchain is powered by Stellar and Crossmint, with customer balances held in Circle’s USDC. While MoneyGram’s new wallet appears to be a good way to bring existing MoneyGram customers into stablecoins, support for other cryptocurrencies is limited. So, it’s a bit of a stretch to say MoneyGram has launched a new digital crypto wallet – it’s more like a cross-border remittance tool that uses USDC as the main currency, similar to how Ripple operates for large banks. MoneyGram’s tool seems less capable than a true digital wallet like Best Wallet. Not only can Best Wallet handle stablecoins and fiat payments, but it also supports a wide range of crypto assets across multiple blockchains. Let’s look more closely at what makes Best Wallet so useful. Best Wallet – A Mobile-First Crypto App Connecting Multiple Blockchains Best Wallet aims to be the only crypto wallet you’ll ever need. It allows you to manage your entire crypto portfolio from a single, easy-to-use mobile interface, even if you’ve never used crypto before. Managing multiple blockchains can be confusing. Even with popular crypto wallets like MetaMask, it can be hard to know exactly what assets you own. Best Wallet simplifies managing, buying, and selling your crypto within a single ecosystem. That means you can make cross-chain swaps between platforms like Solana and BNB without leaving the app. Even if you’re searching for presale tokens, Best Wallet offers an entire marketplace full of vetted presales to choose from, all of which integrate directly with the app. Best Wallet isn’t just convenient, it also uses innovative security features. Your wallet is protected by Fireblocks MPC-CMP technology, so even if you lose your phone, you can download a secure cloud backup to Best Wallet without risking your assets. While you wait for MoneyGram’s digital app to expand coverage to your area, Best Wallet is available now. You can visit the official Best Wallet site for a download link, or if you’re interested in learning more, you can go to our ‘What is the Best Wallet Token’ guide. That’s right: Best Wallet even features its own unique utility token, $BEST. It’s an asset all on its own, but it can also be used to reduce your transaction fees when you swap crypto across the Best Wallet network. That’s especially useful when you’re swapping for new presales, where $BEST will boost your margins. In fact, $BEST holders also gain exclusive access to some presales before they become available to the rest of the market, guaranteeing you’ll be among the first to get cheap tokens before a crypto project takes off. That’s not all. Holding $BEST also grants you the right to participate in the Best Wallet DAO, allowing you to help shape the future of the Best Wallet project. If there’s a feature or blockchain you’d like to see added to the app, this is the best way to make your voice heard. You can download Best Wallet today, but the $BEST token is still in the presale phase. If you buy now, you can secure annual staking rewards of up to 83%. It’s worth holding onto, as our Best Wallet Token price predictions indicate $BEST could reach $0.62 by the end of 2026. Don’t wait, as the $BEST presale has already raised nearly $16M in token sales. So far, the price has reached $0.025655, with an end-of-year release planned for the token. It’s a dynamic presale, so the price will change over time. Purchase $BEST today before the presale ends. All crypto products are volatile. Make sure to always do your own research before investing and only invest what you’re prepared to lose. This article is not financial advice.

Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, extended its rally on Thursday, jumping over 8% to trade near $58.77. The move comes after rebounding from its earlier record of $57.40 and places the token just shy of the crucial $60 psychological barrier. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More Driving this surge is the successful integration of USDC and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP V2), now live on Hyperliquid’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The upgrade enhances liquidity and security across HyperCore and HyperEVM applications, facilitating faster and smoother deposits for DeFi users. Analysts suggest this milestone could attract institutional traders, boosting HYPE’s long-term adoption. Record Revenue Strengthens Investor Confidence Beyond price action, Hyperliquid’s fundamentals are equally impressive. According to Artemis Terminal, the network generated $2.5 million in fees in a single day, surpassing industry leaders like Ethereum and Solana. A Reflexivity Research report confirmed that Q3 was Hyperliquid’s strongest quarter yet, with total fees reaching $250.45 million, net income to token holders amounting to $243.59 million, and a team size of just 11 members. This lean but high-performing setup has fueled optimism that Hyperliquid can continue scaling without losing efficiency. Combined with staking incentives and growing exchange listings, many traders see HYPE as one of the most promising tokens in the current market. Hyperliquid (HYPE)’s Wedge Pattern Raises Caution Despite strong fundamentals, technical analysis suggests caution. On the two-hour chart, HYPE touched $59.36, testing the upper boundary of a rising wedge formation, a pattern often associated with weakening momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing overbought levels, with bearish divergence forming as price makes new highs without matching momentum. Analysts warn that a rejection at $59.36 could trigger pullbacks to $55 support, with deeper downside targets at $52–$48 if selling pressure builds. HYPE's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: HYPEUSD on Tradingview However, if bulls defend support and confirm strength with a bullish engulfing candle, HYPE could rebound toward $60 and beyond, potentially aligning with Polymarket traders who forecast short-term moves toward $70. Related Reading: BNB Chain (BNB) Smashes $1,000 Milestone for the First Time Ever For now, the line in the sand remains at $59.36.
