According to prominent crypto commentator Crypto Bitlord, the journey for XRP to higher price targets is a matter of pure belief.
XRP has surged by over 10% today, reaching $2.21 after recovering from a dip to $1.90 over the weekend. XRP’s ongoing rally follows Bitcoin’s recapture of the $105K level, helping altcoins breathe after the weekend bloodbath.
Amid the promising market, optimism is rising about XRP’s potential run to a new all-time high. In a post on X, Crypto Bitlord remarked that giant whales loaded up their XRP bags during the latest dip. According to him, buying XRP under $2 is a gift, especially for those who believe the coin is going higher.
In his view, when you know XRP is going to $7, it’s no longer gambling to load up now. To him, “it’s pure belief.”
“We Will Never See XRP Under $2”
In a follow-up update, Crypto Bitlord confidently claimed that the next stop for XRP is $7 amid the ongoing recovery. He even asserted that XRP will never be seen under $2 again. “Not in this lifetime,” he said, underscoring his conviction.
$XRP will never be under $2 again.
Not in this lifetime.

Sharing his bullish perspective, trader Tyler Durden remarked that many investors have yet to realize what’s about to happen with XRP.
Crypto Bitlord stressed that it’s remarkable everyone has had the chance to purchase XRP, yet some remain on the sidelines. He likened being involved in crypto without holding XRP to lacking a fundamental part of one’s DNA.
As of today, XRP needs to increase by 218% to reach $7. This would mark a new all-time high for the coin that has been trading below its peak for seven and a half years. This price point would elevate its market cap to over $412 billion, while its fully diluted market cap would approach $700 billion.
Notably, many market commentators have expressed the view that XRP could reach and surpass $7 this year.
Popular Projections for $7+
For instance, last month, Bitcoin analyst George Tung predicted that XRP would climb to $8 this year. Tung considers $8 a conservative target for XRP’s price by year-end, citing strong institutional interest evident in the growing number of spot XRP ETF applications.
Likewise, crypto analyst Bearable Bull projected XRP reaching $8, describing this move as the start of a new chapter and marking the end of what he calls a “Generational Wealth Journey.”
Interestingly, commentators like Xena believe prices below $10 are too modest to be realistic outlooks for XRP.
Longer Timelines
Despite this popular optimism about XRP’s potential, a detailed report by the Changelly crypto exchange suggested it could take until 2028 for XRP to reach $7 and above. Asset manager Bitwise shares this perspective.
In its industry report to professional investors, Bitwise suggested XRP may approach $7 by 2026 only in an ultra-bullish market. The price target becomes a baseline by 2028, according to the report.
