If #xrp bottoms at $0.8, can it really rise to $8 in the next cycle?
Let’s run the numbers.
Suppose you invest $10,000 in XRP at $0.8. You could get 12,500 XRP.
If XRP rises to these prices in the next cycle:
▪ $2 → $25,000
▪ $3 → $37,500
▪ $5 → $62,500
▪ $8 → $100,000
Going from $0.8 to $8 is exactly a 10x increase.
But there’s one question many people overlook:
What market cap would XRP need to reach $8?
XRP’s current circulating supply is around 63.5 billion.
As escrowed assets are released in the future, the circulating supply could continue to grow.
Suppose the circulating supply reaches 70 billion in the next bull market:
$5 would mean a market cap of $350 billion.
$7 would mean a market cap of $490 billion.
$8 would mean a market cap of $560 billion.
$8.57 would mean a market cap of about $600 billion.
So, I think $7–8.5 is an optimistic price range to watch for XRP in the next cycle—but that would require the overall crypto market to grow significantly and XRP to increase its market share.
Also, don’t forget:
If you buy at $0.8 and XRP keeps falling to $0.5, you’d still be down 37.5%.
A low price doesn’t mean low risk, and the potential for a 10x gain doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to happen.
I’d rather wait for genuine signs of accumulation to emerge in the bear market than blindly buy the dip just because the price has fallen a lot.
In my next post, I want to discuss a more important question:
Will XRP’s next bull market really arrive in 2028–2029, or has the crypto market’s four-year cycle changed?
