Crypto influencer Bitlord predicts XRP will reach $21 this cycle and trigger a global reaction. The influencer has over 426,000 followers on X and made the prediction recently. XRP currently trades at around $2.63, which means the coin needs 700% growth to hit the target.
Bitlord Highlights XRP Community Strength
Bitlord called the XRP community one of the largest crypto communities on Earth. He wrote “Watch the world flip” once XRP breaks through the $21 mark. The XRP Army comprises more than 7.16 million token holders worldwide.
The community’s strength could play a role in the anticipated price breakout, according to Bitlord. His statement adds to growing bullish sentiment around XRP in recent weeks. Analysts and traders expect a major breakout to continue the bull run stalled since July.
Some commentators find the $21 outlook too ambitious for the current cycle. One community member suggested that $21 sounds like “a meme price in a bear market.” He questioned whether Bitlord was just “hopin’ for moon vibes” with the prediction.
Another X user named Logan said “$21 feels like we’re chasing a myth.” However, Logan acknowledged that “the pump might just surprise us all” in the end. Even XRP Army members share skepticism about the lofty price target this year.
House of XRP replied that XRP won’t reach $4 this year, much less $21. He argued that a lesser-known cryptocurrency has better chances of reaching $21. The skepticism mirrors doubts that once surrounded XRP’s potential to reach $1 in 2024.
XRP’s Recent Price History
Bitlord countered critics by highlighting past skepticism about XRP reaching $1 in 2024. The coin’s momentum was essentially capped at $0.70 and $0.50 during that period. Bitcoin broke new highs while XRP remained one of the worst-performing major cryptocurrencies.
Many dismissed the $1 outlook for XRP at that time altogether. However, things changed dramatically in November 2024 when XRP broke out strongly. The coin surpassed $3 by January, proving skeptics wrong about the earlier target.
XRP bulls, who are calling for high prices, pin their hopes on ETF launches this cycle. Solana and Litecoin ETFs went live yesterday, with record-breaking trading volumes immediately following. XRP supporters believe ETF inflows could push the coin into double digits soon.
The approval timeline for XRP ETFs remains uncertain at this point, however. Institutional accumulation through treasuries could support explosive price moves too. Ripple’s global expansion may also contribute to the growth of XRP’s price going forward.
Few believe XRP could repeat another historic run given cautious market sentiment currently. The market has mainly shown cautious sentiment throughout this month so far. XRP traded at $2.63 at the time of Bitlord’s price prediction post.
