Updated: Jan 03 2026- Long-Term Holding Value: Commentator John Squire highlights that XRP holders may find it challenging to determine the exact value of their assets over time, reflecting optimism among supporters regarding the token's future utility, particularly in its role within global financial infrastructure.
- Wealth Accumulation Expectations: The XRP community anticipates that the token's value will appreciate due to institutional adoption and ongoing ETF activities, with analysts suggesting that holding between 1,000 and 10,000 XRP could yield significant long-term returns, potentially reaching six-figure or even seven-figure valuations.
- Current Investment Scale: Currently trading around $1.85, 1,000 XRP costs approximately $1,850, and if projected values of $80 to $120 by 2035-2040 are realized, 1,000 XRP could be worth $100,000.
- Institutional Interest Driving Growth: Recent ETF launches have absorbed approximately $1.25 billion worth of XRP, and analysts note that this institutional investment could create upward pressure on XRP's supply-demand dynamics, supporting its potential for long-term appreciation.
