If you invest $1,000 in XRP today, you could become a millionaire if the token reaches its expected price target of around $520 over the next few decades.
That level would require a significant gain from the current price around $0.52, but our analysis shows that XRP will reach or exceed $520 by 2050.
XRP has struggled recently but holds long-term promise
After a significant drop, XRP is still struggling to regain its footing in early 2024. According to the latest data, XRP has fallen about 10% in the past 30 days.
Currently XRP is $0.52, approaching $3.40, and seems far from its glory days. However, some investors expect these peaks to be just a fraction of the coin's future potential if the current legal headwinds are resolved in its favor.

If you invest $1,000 in XRP today, you will earn approximately 1,925 tokens. For this investment to reach $1 million, the coin would have to rise to $520 per coin. Although ambitious, the analysis ultimately supports prices above that level.
Key Catalysts Could Drive Massive XRP Rise
The SEC lawsuit against Ripple could be the determining factor in whether XRP reaches a four-digit price by 2050.
Regulators allege that Ripple engaged in an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP. However, a judge recently ruled in a partial summary judgment that the token itself is not a security. The case is currently in the relief phase and could be resolved by the end of the year.
If the SEC does not appeal XRP's initial decision, financial institutions and asset managers could rush to get their assets back. The likely outcome would be the approval of the XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), a cascading increase in investor demand, and an astronomical price increase by the 2050s.

One prediction by Changelly predicts the coin will skyrocket from $544 to $629 by 2050. Given the token's history of volatile exponential rises in the crypto bull market, reaching that level seems feasible, depending on the outcome of the lawsuit.
So, for investors with enough patience for temporary ups and downs, allocating $1,000 to this coin today could potentially allow for significant future growth.
If Ripple ultimately wins legally, those early opportunists could become future billionaires. Of course, the 2050 target carries inherent risks if its adoption does not materialize as expected.
