Basketball Legend\u2019s Poll Puts Crypto On Center Court"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Scottie Pippen, the six\u2011time NBA champion, stirred up the crypto community this week. He put out a poll on X asking his 728,000 followers whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/xrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XRP<\/a> will hit $10 by 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside that question, he also threw out bold targets for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana<\/a>. The move sent traders and fans buzzing.<\/p>\n<h2>Pippen\u2019s Viral Crypto Poll<\/h2>\n<p>According to his post, <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin<\/a> could climb to $233,000, Ethereum to $10,000 and Solana to $1,000. Pippen gave people four choices for each token and let them vote.<\/p>\n<p>Travis Turnbull and others in the comments threw their support behind XRP reaching $10, while some thought even 2026 might be too soon. Polls like this tend to draw big crowds, and Pippen\u2019s name carries weight well beyond sports.<\/p>\n<p>Which one of these will happen in 2026:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Bitcoin will hit 233k<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> will hit $10k<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SOL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$SOL<\/a> will hit $1k<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a> will hit $10<br \/>\n\u2022 Your UBER driver will tell you about the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/game5ball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@game5ball<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 Optimus will deliver you food<br \/>\n\u2022 Aliens will invade<br \/>\n\u2022 2pac returns<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Scottie Pippen (@ScottiePippen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ScottiePippen\/status\/1948211417229959676?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>XRP is trading around $3.18 right now. That price is down 2.2% in the past day, though it\u2019s still up 45% for the month. At that level, the token\u2019s market cap sits near $156\u202fbillion.<\/p>\n<p>To hit $10, XRP would need to swell to about $500 billion based on its roughly 50 billion coins in circulation. That jump would rank it among the world\u2019s biggest assets.<\/p>\n<h2>Bullish Forecasts From Other Analysts<\/h2>\n<p>Based on reports, an NFT project founder predicted XRP could top $10 by next year if Bitcoin rockets toward $250,000. A well\u2011known crypto analyst updated his earlier $4\u2013$5 call to $10 after a surge in bullish momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Arnold, host of Altcoin Daily, went even further with an $11 target by 2025. He called that figure \u201crealistic,\u201d pointing to growing demand and fresh capital flows.<\/p>\n<p>Realistic 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/altcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#altcoin<\/a> price predictions:<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ADA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ADA<\/a> \u2013 $4<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a> \u2013 $11<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24INJ&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$INJ<\/a> \u2013 $99<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BORG&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BORG<\/a> \u2013 $3.50<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24PENGU&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$PENGU<\/a> \u2013 $0.10<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24PUMP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$PUMP<\/a> \u2013 $0.01<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SOL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$SOL<\/a> \u2013 $400<\/p>\n<p>What else? <\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Altcoin Daily (@AltcoinDaily) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AltcoinDaily\/status\/1948544142587666460?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If XRP ever hit $11, its market cap would soar past $650 billion. That would put it ahead of big names like Mastercard and Tencent on the value charts. Such a move would reshape how people see cross\u2011border payments and tokenized banking rails.<\/p>\n<p>What It Takes To Hit $10<\/p>\n<p>Reaching $10 won\u2019t happen on hype alone. XRP still faces legal hurdles in the US. Banks need clear rules before they can embrace it at scale. On\u2011chain activity must keep rising, and fresh partnerships with payment firms or tech players are a must.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, rival tokens and layer\u20112 solutions compete for investor money. Timing is key, too. Crypto often moves in waves, and a bull run can last months or years\u2014but corrections can come fast.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from NBA, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scottie Pippen, the six\u2011time NBA champion, stirred up the crypto community this week.
