"Will XRP Hit $150 by 2030? My Thoughts on Ripple's Future"
Here’s my take: I believe that in the next 2 years, it could become incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to buy XRP. XRP was never really designed to be a coin traded back and forth on exchanges like other cryptocurrencies. It was meant to be a bridge currency, facilitating transfers between different digital assets. Once Ripple wins the SEC lawsuit, we’re going to see a huge shift in how XRP is used and priced. With legal clarity, XRP will likely become the only cryptocurrency that’s officially deemed not a security, opening up massive adoption by U.S. financial institutions.
My prediction is that Ripple will eventually stop releasing XRP from their escrow accounts for retail exchanges. Instead, it will be used exclusively for On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) purposes by financial institutions. This would mean that XRP would no longer be readily available to retail investors through exchanges.
Before this happens, though, I strongly believe that the price of XRP could easily shoot past the $150 mark, possibly even higher. The big question for me is: How will Ripple handle buybacks from retail investors once it’s no longer available on exchanges?
Ultimately, XRP’s purpose is to serve as a bridge currency on the XRP Ledger, connecting all digital assets, including digital fiats. Experts have predicted that once XRP is fully adopted as the world’s bridge currency, its price could range from $35,000 to $50,000 per coin. Of course, these extreme price levels won’t happen overnight, and we could be years away from that, but once the retail investors are essentially locked out of exchanges, the value of XRP will likely skyrocket.
If things go as I think they will, we could be seeing an entirely new phase for XRP—one that I believe will make the $150 price point look like a bargain.
This version should feel more personal and like it’s coming directly from you. Let me know if you'd like any more changes!
