Big predictions by XRP army members are creating a serious buzz, with some even suggesting that the cryptocurrency could reach $250 a coin. That's over 100x its current price now.

At press time XRP is trading at $2.55, down by 0.55% over the last 24 hours, according to Kraken’s price page.

The $250 estimates are being parroted, with macro investor Raoul Pal of Real Vision Group believing that a monumental recovery is in the cards for crypto, as global liquidity has seen a dramatic downturn and monetary conditions have become more accommodative.

In late April 17, he stated that moving forward policymakers will likely debase (lower in value) the U.S. dollar as it relates to massive debt. This will likely cause a big jump in the global monetary base and benefit risk assets such as Bitcoin and crypto more generally.

Pal said financial conditions were easing fast in early March 2025, with U.S. interest rates, oil prices, and the dollar falling. A weaker dollar will encourage investors to hedge into alternative assets like crypto and gold.

Pal also noted XRP’s simplicity, cheap transaction costs, and Ripple affiliation as appealing to crypto novices. Pal highlighted that new investors like XRP's ease of usage.

An analyst named “XRP Captain” also stated that basing on the historical data, by the end of 2026 XRP can hit $250 if whales go on accumulating XRP.

Even a Binance community post by TonyRev was also suggesting that XRP might reach $250 by January mentioning positive factors such as a breakthrough in regulation, a growth in utility, and institutional support.
