A prominent crypto commentator known as Mason Versluis has issued a notable warning for XRP investors, pointing out that parts of the discussion around XRP to lofty price targets<\/a> as high as $10,000 have drifted far away from reality and risk misleading investors.<\/p>\n

Pundit Pushes Back Against $10,000 XRP Predictions<\/h2>\n

Bullish price predictions around XRP<\/a> have been arriving at an unusually fast pace in recent months, especially as spot exchange-traded funds and institutional participation<\/a> are now a major part of investor conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Social media platforms are now filled with increasingly high targets, ranging from triple-digit valuations to extreme calls for four-figure <\/a>and even five-figure prices at $10,000. Just a few years ago, you would not have believed such XRP price predictions would be as rampant as this.<\/p>\n

In a recent video clip<\/a> circulating across the crypto community, Mason Versluis delivered an unusually blunt assessment of the $10,000 predictions for the altcoin. He dismissed the figure outright, noting that such price targets should not even be part of current conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Versluis, anyone aggressively promoting those numbers is doing investors a disservice and misleading them. His argument is based on the fact that XRP has yet to demonstrate the ability to break above far lower price levels, making five-digit projections detached from present conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A closer look at XRP\u2019s circulating supply explains why the $10,000 prediction raises doubts. XRP currently has a circulating supply of about 66 billion tokens with a market cap of $141.9 billion. Therefore, calculations based on the current circulating supply would imply a market cap of roughly $660 trillion if the altcoin reaches $10,000, which is far greater than the current top 100 assets by <\/a>market cap combined.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To put this in context, gold currently has a market cap of about $31 trillion. The most realistic way that the token might reach $10,000 is for the circulating supply to decrease significantly.<\/p>\n

Bullish Bias Exists, But Built Around Progression<\/h2>\n

According to Versias, XRP reaching $10,000 is not outright impossible. However, the world has only seen roughly 2%<\/a> of the changes that would be required for XRP to approach a $10,000 valuation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

XRP has not even reached $10, let alone maintained it. In order for any outstanding price levels to become a reality, XRP would first need to break above double digits $10, and hold above. From here, discussions about $50, $100, or higher only become meaningful after XRP proves strength at each preceding level.<\/p>\n

Despite the criticism, Versluis made it clear that his outlook on XRP is not bearish. He acknowledged that his stance has grown increasingly optimistic due to developments such as <\/a>ETF momentum, DeFi activity, and institutional engagement surrounding XRP and the XRP ledger<\/a>, continuing to improve.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
