You might be hearing some pretty bold predictions from crypto enthusiasts about XRP lately. Some are even suggesting that scooping up just 1,000 tokens now could potentially set you up for a comfortable life by the end of this decade.

Online Influencers Fuel Optimistic XRP Price Predictions
According to social media discussions, prominent XRP advocate Duefe recently stated that owning 1,000 coins could be enough to ensure a “joyful and free life” by 2029. This is quite a forecast considering today’s prices. At the current price of around $2.17 per XRP token, 1,000 XRP would be valued at $2,170.
For this initial investment to grow into $1 million – a target many consider necessary for early retirement – each XRP token would need to reach a staggering $1,000. This incredible surge would require a price increase of over 45,900% from its present value.
1000 XRP is enough for a joyful and free life.
Just hold until 2029.$XRP
— Duefe (@cryptoshab) April 14, 2025
Edo Farina, another well-known voice in the XRP community, echoes this sentiment. He’s even gone as far as to say that not holding at least 1,000 XRP is “insanity,” based on reports circulating within the crypto sphere.
Not owning at LEAST 1,000 $XRP is the definition of insanity.

Wallet Data Suggests Concentrated Holdings
Looking at the XRP Rich List, the data reveals that only about 230,500 wallets currently hold between 500 and 1,000 XRP. Out of a total of 6.38 million wallets, just 10%, or roughly 638,000, possess 2,500 tokens or more.
These figures indicate that if such dramatic price increases were to materialize, the resulting wealth would likely be concentrated among a relatively small group of early adopters.
Expert Price Forecasts Vary Widely
Not all predictions are quite as ambitious as the $1,000 target. Some analysts estimate that XRP could reach at least $25 by 2029. While this is significantly less than the $1,000 needed to turn 1,000 XRP into a million dollars, it would still represent a substantial return of around 1,000% from today’s price.
Other experts believe that the $1,000 price point could eventually be reached, but over a more extended timeframe, perhaps around ten years.

Even with market uncertainties and price fluctuations during this period, XRP holders appear to be maintaining their positions. This could indicate a strong long-term belief in the token’s value, or perhaps a cautious “wait and see” approach from both individual and institutional investors. Data also points towards a more mature holder base that is not reacting impulsively to short-term price changes.
