XRP continues to trade around $3, but leading crypto exchange Changelly believes the coin could someday reach lofty heights in the triple and even four-digit range. In a detailed report, the exchange shared ambitious timelines for when it believes XRP could trade above $500 and even $2,400. Interestingly, these XRP price projections are not unheard of within the crypto community. Many influential voices in the XRP space have debated the coin’s potential to reach triple and even five-digit valuations in the future. For example, widely followed American wealth mentor Linda Jones believes XRP could surpass $100. DAG Managing Director Jake Claver has even suggested that XRP reaching $10,000 is possible. In the same month, Changelly projects XRP will have a minimum price of $414.86 and an average price of $436.40. Notably, the exchange suggests XRP could hit a maximum price of $2,406 by December 2040. This would translate to an extraordinary 84,321.1% return on investment for current holders. Changelly expects XRP to enter the four-digit price range as early as May 2040 and continue progressing through the end of the year. The lowest price it projects for that year is $257.34. The Journey to $501 and $2,406 for XRP To reach $501 and $2,406 by 2040, XRP would require significant growth—17,499.7% and 84,321.1%, respectively. While these projections are undeniably ambitious, it’s worth noting that XRP surged by over 75,000% between 2017 and 2018—though it later fell by more than 95%. This historical volatility partially supports the possibility of another aggressive price surge. However, as a cryptocurrency’s market cap matures into the billion- or trillion-dollar range, its growth trajectory typically slows down. At a price of $500, XRP’s market cap would exceed $29.75 trillion, surpassing gold’s current estimated valuation of $22 trillion—though gold itself could be worth more by 2040. At $2,406, XRP’s market cap would soar to an astronomical $142.9 trillion, surpassing the total current value of the global stock market. For comparison, Telegaon projects Bitcoin to trade at over $2.5 million per coin by 2040, equating to a market cap of about $53 trillion. Changelly even offers a more aggressive forecast of $5,668,414 per BTC by 2040, which implies a market cap of $119 trillion. Despite these bold projections for Bitcoin, XRP’s projected $2,406 price would still imply a higher market cap of $143 trillion—an outcome many experts see as highly unrealistic. Timelines for XRP to Reach $501 and $2,406 per ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Grok ChatGPT suggests XRP could reach $501.29 between 2040 and 2050, but emphasizes that this is purely speculative. It considers $2,406 to be unrealistic and offers no timeline for that target. ChatGPT Suggestion on XRP reaching $501 and $2406 Google Gemini declined to provide a specific timeline, stating that such projections are far-fetched. Grok AI stated that $501.59 might be possible between 2030 and 2035, but only under ideal market conditions. Regarding $2,406, Grok said it is not realistically achievable within the next 10–20 years based on current data. It added that such a scenario would require unprecedented global adoption and market shifts, likely post-2040, if ever. Comment from Grok
