A former Goldman Sachs analyst just put a $1,000 price target on XRP by 2030. XRP is currently trading around $1.20, down 3.5% over 24 hours, but also the whole market as we wait for FOMC.

Dom Kwok, co-founder of Web3 education platform EasyA and a former Goldman Sachs analyst, told The Rollup podcast: “I think it could go over $1,000 in the next four to five years.”

His thesis centers on mass crypto adoption routing through XRP rather than Bitcoin or Ethereum, arguing that new retail entrants are priced out of the larger-cap assets and will default to cheaper, more practical alternatives.

This target sits orders of magnitude above the institutional consensus band of $3–$20. On-chain, wallets holding at least one million XRP now control 74.1% of the total supply, with those large holders adding 1.53 billion tokens over the past six months, accumulating at a scale.

Simultaneously, easing U.S.-Iran tensions lifted risk appetite, pushing Bitcoin toward the mid-$60,000s and pulling XRP along.

Can XRP Price Hit $1,000, Or Even $10, Before 2030?

At $1.20 with a weekly green candle of 8%. XRP is in a corrective phase, but the technical structure hasn’t broken down. RSI sits near 62, constructive, not overbought. A recent 3-day MACD bullish cross remains intact, and a decade-long rising trendline has not been violated.

Key support is clustered in the $1.10–$1.15 zone, with mid-term resistance flagged at $1.43–$1.55 by multiple technical frameworks (the asset has since broken above those levels, setting up a new range).

If the U.S. legislative progress via the CLARITY Act passes, XRP-linked ETF inflows will likely accelerate. Then, continued whale accumulation will tighten supply, and price will retest recent highs and push toward $2, consistent with Standard Chartered’s conditional $8 target.

The $1,000 call? That would require a market cap measured in the tens of trillions, a number that requires assumptions about global financial infrastructure adoption that are plausible in theory and extraordinary in practice. Kwok’s framing as an internet-era analogy is intellectually coherent.

LiquidChain Eyes Early Infrastructure Positioning as XRP Tests Range

XRP’s bull case leans heavily on infrastructure maturation, the idea that real adoption follows useful applications built on top of accessible networks. That same thesis is driving early interest toward a different layer of the stack.

Even in a confirmed XRP uptrend, entry at $1.20 is entry into an asset with a $75 billion market cap. The asymmetry is compressed. Early-stage infrastructure is where that asymmetry still exists.

LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is a Layer 3 infrastructure project positioning itself as the cross-chain liquidity layer, fusing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment.

The architecture includes a Unified Liquidity Layer, Single-Step Execution, Verifiable Settlement, and a Deploy-Once model that lets developers access all three ecosystems without redeployment. The presale is currently priced at $0.0147, with $850K raised to date.
