Pundit Predicts When XRP Price Will Hit $500 And What Will Drive The Rally A crypto pundit has shared a bold XRP price prediction, using AI analysis and outlining several market drivers and ongoing developments that could fuel the rally. In the analysis, the expert projects that in 2026, XRP could potentially skyrocket to $10 and by 2035, the cryptocurrency could reach historical highs above $500. Although the analyst maintains a broadly bullish outlook for XRP’s price, he urged investors and traders to take the forecast “with a grain of salt,” noting that it remains speculative. XRP Price Forecast From 2026 To 2030 In an X post shared on April 22, crypto market analyst Vincent Van Code outlined a highly bullish forecast for the XRP price over the next decade. Van Code said he had been conducting extensive Large Language Model (LLM) studies of the XRP ecosystem, factoring in multiple variables and market metrics to develop a detailed short- and long-term outlook for the cryptocurrency. He also acknowledged using Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, to help refine parts of his modeling and reinforce his projections.

For the first phase of his outlook, covering 2026 to 2030, Van Code projects a strong, multi-year expansion in the XRP price. Notably, he expects the cryptocurrency to climb from $6 at the start of the period to as high as $200 by the end of the 5th year. For 2026, Van Code stated that his end-of-year optimistic price target for XRP is between $6 and $10, representing a 329% to 614% increase from its current price above $1.4. He also projected that the network’s estimated annual on-chain bridged volume could increase significantly, possibly reaching between $400 billion and $800 billion. He attributed this potential growth to several key market drivers, including the official implementation of the CLARITY Act, early stages of Treasury migration, representing around 1-3% of a projected $13 trillion pipeline, and continued growth in XRP’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL). He also pointed to the initial LP seeding across 5-10 core trading pairs, including XRP/RLUSD and key corridors. For 2027-2030, Van Code projects that XRP could rise from $15 to $200, alongside a sharp increase in its annual bridged volume from between $1.2 trillion to $20 trillion. He noted that various ecosystem and market factors could drive this rally. This includes increased adoption of DEXs attracting institutional liquidity providers, as well as the expansion of RLUSD, which he said could boost demand for XRP as a neutral bridging asset across APAC and non-USD settlement corridors. The analyst also highlighted that the price could increase based on proven ROI from live Treasury flows and the growing adoption of XRP and Ripple. Van Code XRP could also see wider corridor expansion and self-sustaining LP growth over those four years. For 2030, he expects a rally to between $100-$200, driven by XRP potentially capturing 3-6% of the global liquidity layer, among other f
