Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta AI Makes Outlandish XRP Price Claim

Meta AI, described as Mark Zuckerberg’s AI system, projected that XRP could trade between $30 and $55 by January 1, 2027, with a possible extension above $80 under a highly speculative scenario. The forecast depends on a large coalition of Asian and Middle Eastern commercial banks and payment networks choosing the XRP Ledger as a preferred settlement rail, plus central banks integrating XRPL into real-time gross settlement upgrades. The scenario is characterized as pure speculation and entertainment, requiring coordination that is currently highly unlikely. XRP was up 0.5% and above $1.30, with Ripple’s market capitalization around $83.7 billion, ranking fifth among digital assets according to CoinGecko.
