Since the start of 2025, a handful of cryptocurrency analysts have been blowing the bugle, claiming XRP would reach $100 by the year’s end. This led to FOMO among new investors who began accumulating the token, believing in the hype. However, forget $100, the Ripple’s native token is now at risk of falling to the $1 range by the year’s end.

XRP Will Not Reach $100 in 2025
Leading cryptocurrency influencer Zach Humphries took to X explaining that XRP will not reach $100 in 2025. He rubbished the notion that Ripple’s native token would rise 5,000% in December to reach the target.
Humphries explained that XRP’s market cap needs to reach $6 trillion in order to hit the $100 mark. That is mathematically impossible, as Bitcoin, even at $85,000, has a market cap of $1.7 trillion. XRP’s market cap currently stands at $122 billion, and going above Bitcoin’s market cap is impossible.

However, he stressed that the long-term goal for XRP is bullish, but hitting $100 by 2025 end is a pipe dream. “XRP is not going to $100 by the end of the year. I am a huge proponent of XRP, but these people are delusional and just taking advantage of people who don’t understand how math works. In order for XRP to be $100, that means it will be a $6T market cap (43x from current price levels). The entire market cap of crypto is $3T today, with 35 days left in the year. Stop listening to this nonsense,” he wrote on X.
Ripple’s native token XRP has plunged to the $2 mark and is at risk of dipping to $1.9 range. The leading token is already down nearly 20% in a month and is attracting bearish sentiments. Chances remain high that the altcoin could face a correction and plunge to the $1.8 level in December.
