Why $1K XRP’s Millionaire Promise Is More Fantasy Than Facts

Xena, a well‐known voice in the XRP community, has put a bold target on the table. She says that if Bitcoin can reach $1 million, then XRP could push all the way to $1,000.

Based on reports from the XRP camp, she argues that hitting that mark would turn more everyday investors into millionaires than Bitcoin’s own million‐dollar milestone.

XPR’s Potential Millionaires

According to Xena’s math, you can pick up 1,000 XRP tokens today for about $2,960, since each token trades at $2.97. If XRP ever climbed to $1,000 per token, that position would be worth $1 million.

Compare that with Bitcoin. At its current price of $114,500, the same $2,960 only buys about 0.025 BTC. If Bitcoin then rose to $1 million, that stake would grow to roughly $25,860.

And if XRP can reach $1000 it will make much more wealthy people than Bitcoin at $1M.

Reports have disclosed that XRP has a total supply of 100 billion tokens, with about 59 billion in circulation. To reach $1,000 per token, XRP’s market cap would have to swell to around $59 trillion.

Bitcoin, by contrast, caps at 21 million coins and needs a market cap near $20 trillion for a $1 million price tag. Today’s entire crypto market sits at just over $2 trillion. That means XRP needs a 300× increase in price while Bitcoin needs about a 9× climb.

Investor Interest And Adoption

According to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, Bitcoin is seen as a digital safe haven similar to gold, with milestones of $150,000 and $500,000 expected within five years.

Based on reports from ARK Invest, CEO Cathie Wood raised her Bitcoin target from $1 million to $1.5 million by 2030, citing growing interest from big institutions.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor has even said Bitcoin could hit a mind-boggling $13 million by 2045. Author Robert Kiyosaki expects Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2035, pointing to rising US debt and financial strain.

For his part, Bitcoin advocate Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, has reiterated his forecast that Bitcoin will hit $1 million this year.

Ambitious Targets

Even with these bullish forecasts, the path to such highs comes with hurdles. XRP faces legal and regulatory challenges tied to its issuer. It also lacks the broad ETF market that Bitcoin enjoys.

Everyday investors may see bigger token counts with XRP, but big gains often come with big risks. Betting on a 300× gain is a very different game than a 9× gain.

Whether XRP ever reaches $1,000 remains to be seen. The math may show how more millionaires could emerge if it did. But growth on that scale would require massive adoption and fresh capital. For now, both digital assets have a long way to go before they hit these ambitious targets.
