XRP Price Surge to $100? Black Swan CEO Aljarrah Shares Bold Ripple Price Prediction

The CEO of Black Swan Capitalist, Versan Aljarrah, has given a bold XRP price prediction. Based on his opinion, the current value of the XRP token is not the real price. This is because, in the larger picture, retail investors do not push a crypto to a price target. Rather larger investors and global finance institutions determine this with their significant capital and influence. This market expert also gives a rough but very bullish estimate for the “true price” of XRP. Such a bold projection comes at a time when we are seeing a prolonged XRP price decrease trend.

XRP and the End of SWIFT? Ripple and New Finance

Aljarrah also used the process of setting a price for the stock and listing it as an example. This is because the value of a share is determined by banks and hedge funds in the pre-IPO phase. As it is highlighted by the name, this phase comes before the listing phase. According to the  Black Swan Capitalist CEO, this is what XRP is experiencing right now. He also named organisations like JP Morgan, BlackRock, and the Bank for International Settlements. According to him, these financial institutions are the hands behind the scenes and have already set the XRP price.

Additionally, he also said that all the giants in the financial sphere have chosen XRP as the next bridge asset. As such, this coin will likely be the main currency for global transactions in the future. This also makes Ripple a major player in blockchain adoption and interoperability with currency systems like SWIFT. Aljarrah also uses this as the basis for his XRP price projection and states that XRP is no longer just speculative. He added that many banks and other institutions are now using or have tested XRP as a cross-border payment currency.

Bold XRP price prediction! XRP Moonshot Incoming? 

Such bold claims come at a time of extreme market turmoil, as today the XRP price decrease has been significant. As Trump tariffs were put into action on April 2, most market participants have been expecting such a massive crash. These worries were once again reignited when the S&P 500 lost nearly 9% of its value in the last 5 days.

According to Chart 1, XRP is now trading at $1.79, reaching 15.7% in daily losses. The weekly XRP price decrease now stands at 13.6%. This has also crashed the XRP market cap, as now this variable is near $104 billion. However, because of XRP’s current status for global finance institutions, Aljarrah sees the current value as irrelevant. As such, there are no Ifs for XRP price, so the only question is when will XRP hit $100?

XRP Widespread Adoption to Ignite Rally?

This market expert also pointed out that XRP is already widely adopted by nations and institutions. He added that this systematic worldwide adoption can only be done by institutions, and is impossible with retail adoption. Additionally, as this institutional adoption increases, the demand will also rise significantly, pushing the XRP price upwards. Based on this expert’s XRP price prediction, the “true value” of the token behind the scenes is $100 – $1000. So, to answer the question, “When will XRP hit $100?”, it most likely happens when the widespread institutional adoption increases the demand.

Is Institutional Adoption Enough to Push XRP to New Highs?

Such price projections for the XRP token seem to be the best-case scenario, as currently the market is highly bearish. Some market participants also questioned the logic behind Aljarrah’s theory, as to why would banks pay higher than the market value? As such, the reality of this projection remains to be seen. However, the institutional adoption of XRP certainly will increase its value in the long term.
