Speculative $1,000 Target

Analyst Skipper argues that XRP could reach $1,000 under certain conditions, but stresses it is purely speculative. The idea has sparked debate within the crypto community. He warns readers not to treat the projection as gospel.

ETF Launches as Catalyst

Multiple spot‑XRP ETFs are slated to debut in the U.S. around 20 November 2025, with issuers like Bitwise filing required amendments. Early estimates suggest $4‑$8 billion could flow into XRP in the first year. Regulators‑approved funds would give institutions and retail investors direct access to the token.

Supply, Demand and Timeline

Skipper outlines a three‑fold scenario: ETF seed purchases tighten circulating supply, institutional accumulation boosts demand, and broader utility adoption expands use cases. Historical precedents, such as Bitcoin’s ETF‑driven rallies, show infrastructure can create a price runway but not instant spikes. Meaningful price movement is expected from late 2025 into 2026, with a multi‑year cycle needed for $1,000 levels.

Risks and Caveats

ETFs do not guarantee immediate inflows or a moonshot price, and macro‑economic, regulatory, or adoption setbacks could blunt gains. Analysts advise treating the ETF rollout as a milestone rather than a price guarantee. Readers should conduct independent research and accept all investment risk.
