XRP Struggles Now, But Analysts See Big Future: $500+ Possible?
XRP Price Stalls, But Bullish Sentiment Remains
While the broader cryptocurrency market experiences a mini-bull run, XRP struggles to recapture and hold the key $0.65 level. Despite this underperformance, many analysts maintain ambitious price targets for XRP, with some predicting it will reach $500 or more.
Changelly: XRP Could Hit $500+ by 2040
Changelly, a crypto exchange platform, points to XRP’s bullish sentiment despite its recent price woes. They cite the Fear and Greed Index (FGI) at 81 (indicating extreme greed) and a 67% win rate over the past month as signs of optimism.

In the short term, Changelly predicts XRP could reach $0.78 within the next week, but then settle around $0.73 by the end of March – a 17.79% increase from today’s price.
For the long term, Changelly’s analysts are much bolder. They believe XRP could surge to a maximum of $629 by 2040, potentially reaching the $500+ milestone in October of that year.
Gemini Considers Challenges to $500 Target
While Changelly paints a rosy picture, Gemini (formerly Bard) acknowledges significant hurdles for XRP to reach $500+.

- Market Cap: A $500 XRP price would push its market cap to a staggering $27.3 trillion, far exceeding the current global crypto market cap ($2.6 trillion) and even the value of all the gold in the world ($14.6 trillion).
- Competition: Other players in the cross-border payments space, like Stellar (XLM), could pose a challenge. Some argue these technologies are complementary, not competitive, but competition still exists.
- Regulation: The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC creates uncertainty that could hinder XRP’s growth.
Overall, XRP’s future remains to be seen. While short-term gains are possible, significant obstacles stand in the way of reaching the lofty $500+ target. Only time will tell if XRP can overcome these challenges and fulfil the predictions of some analysts.
