XRP Price Could Hit $10,000? From 21Shares’ Forecast to Influencers’ Moonshots

In an October 10, 2026 post, XRP advocate Jake Claver stood by a $10,000 target for the token, a level that would imply a market value of about $630 trillion using roughly 63 billion circulating tokens. In its January outlook, asset manager 21Shares gave XRP a $2.45 base case for 2026, a $2.69 bullish scenario and a $1.60 bearish outcome, citing institutional demand, inflows into spot XRP exchange-traded funds and tokenized real-world assets. Veteran trader Peter Brandt outlined a longer-term $5.40 target, while Standard Chartered projected $28 by 2030. Claver’s forecast depends on XRP becoming a major liquidity asset for banks and financial institutions, with demand extending into large-scale derivatives settlement.
