Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz recently shared an interesting viewpoint on the long-standing debate around whether XRP can realistically reach $50 or even $100. Instead of directly rejecting these price targets, Schwartz focused on how investors actually behave in the market.
Investor Actions vs Bold Price Predictions
According to Schwartz, if a large number of XRP holders genuinely believed that the token had the potential to reach $100, their actions would clearly reflect that belief.
In such a scenario:
Investors would continue accumulating XRP at current prices
They would be unwilling to sell their holdings below levels like $10
Low-priced XRP supply would dry up quickly due to strong buying pressure
However, Schwartz pointed out that XRP continues to see consistent selling far below $10, which suggests that most market participants do not truly expect such extreme upside.
Why Schwartz Avoids Saying “XRP Can Never Hit $100”
During a discussion on X (formerly Twitter), a community member asked Schwartz to openly state that XRP prices between $50–$100 are impossible, arguing that unrealistic expectations often lead investors to financial losses.
Schwartz declined to make such a definitive claim. He explained that his own past experiences in crypto have taught him not to completely rule out unexpected outcomes.
He recalled selling XRP around $0.10 years ago because he believed higher prices were unreasonable—only to later see the market prove him wrong. He also referenced Bitcoin’s early days, when many dismissed even $100 BTC as unrealistic.
Market Logic and Probability
Schwartz further explained that even if investors believed there was just a 10% chance of XRP reaching $100 within a few years, rational market behavior would push prices much higher than current levels.
The fact that this has not happened indicates that very few investors assign meaningful probability to the $100 XRP narrative.
In his view, crypto markets generally price assets based on realistic expectations and risk, while major bull runs tend to be triggered by unexpected external developments, not widely shared predictions.
Final Takeaway
Rather than dismissing high XRP price targets outright, Schwartz highlighted a key reality:
👉 Investor behavior does not currently support the belief that XRP is heading toward $100 anytime soon.
As always, crypto markets remain unpredictable—but actions often speak louder t

$ICP abhi tak clear weakness dikha raha hai. Price structure me lagatar lower highs ban rahe hain, jo indicate karta hai ki sellers abhi bhi control me hain. Descending trendline ke neeche strong rejection dekhne ko mil raha hai, isliye bina confirmation ke long positions lena high-risk ho sakta hai.
Is stage par sabse better approach wait and watch hai. Agar price 4.6 ke upar breakout ke baad successful retest deta hai, tabhi fresh entry ke baare me sochna chahiye.
Wahin agar 3.3 ka support toot jata hai, to downside pressure aur badh sakta hai.
Market me hamesha yaad rakhein:
Trend tab tak follow karein jab tak woh clearly change na ho.
Fake moves se bachna aur proper confirmation ka wait karna hi smart trading ka hissa hai.
