Given the sheer size of the XRP Army, it’s no wonder that the underlying asset is often the subject of some mind-blowing price predictions. In this article, we will review one of the latest, which represented a forecast of a double-digit price pump within the next couple of weeks.
John Squire, among the most popular and vocal members of the XRP Army, posted a picture of the token and asked whether a $10 price tag is possible as early as this month.
$10 XRP in January?
From where we are standing, the answer is obvious. And it’s not good for the Ripple bulls. After all, the asset currently trades below $2.10, so it would require a nearly 400% surge within just 14 days to reach such a massive target. Given our pessimistic views, we decided to ask ChatGPT for its perspective to see if it’s more optimistic.
Well, it wasn’t. Its short answer was, “extremely unlikely.” It noted that several things would need to happen simultaneously for such a far-fetched goal to be reached:
- A broad crypto market breakout led by Bitcoin
- Massive, sudden institutional inflows into XRP specifically
- A clear regulatory or adoption shock that redefines XRP’s valuation overnight.
It admitted that none of those are currently in place. Additionally, even when XRP had posted some of its biggest rallies, it took months, not mere weeks.
“Without an extraordinary black-swan catalyst, a $10 XRP this month falls firmly into the low-probability, hype-driven narrative category,” concluded the AI solution.
$10 XRP in 2026?
On the question of whether Ripple’s cross-border token can reach that same target at any point in 2026, ChatGPT said, “The conversation changes dramatically.” Although it still believes it’s more of a speculative goal, it noted that “it’s not impossible.”
XRP would still need some major catalyst, including:
- Sustained institutional adoption of Ripple’s payment infrastructure
- Continued expansion of XRP’s role in cross-border settlements
- Favorable regulatory clarity in major markets
- A broader bull market that lifts larger-cap altcoins
OpenAI’s platform concluded that, in such a strong macro and crypto environment, the asset’s more realistic target would be somewhere around $5-$7, with “$10 representing the upper extreme of a bull-case scenario, not the base expectation.”
It believes the actual odds for going to the low double digits at any point in 2026 are around 20%.
