XRP From $3 to $1,000, EasyA Founder Explains the Roadmap

Despite XRP trading at a modest price level today, ambitious long-term price forecasts continue to emerge.

In a recent discussion, Dom Kwok, Co-founder of EasyA, outlined how XRP could eventually scale to four figures. He pointed to a combination of the SWIFT model, institutional adoption, stablecoin payments, and retail entry as key drivers behind XRP’s potential to reach a $1,000 price point from the current XRP price of around $3.

Organizations and individuals already move billions of dollars internationally for business payments, remittances, and charitable causes. According to Kwok, once they route these flows through the XRP Ledger at scale, activity on the network could multiply many times over.

Retail Investors and the Nvidia Parallel

Furthermore, Kwok drew a parallel with Nvidia’s rise during the artificial intelligence boom, where retail investors saw the company as the best way to gain exposure. Similarly, he suggested XRP could benefit from a wave of new entrants. He expects this to come from the 93% of people who don’t yet own crypto but recognize its role in payments and settlement.

In other words, Kwok expects that retail participation, combined with institutional flows, could create powerful upward pressure on prices.

ETFs and Professional Money Managers

Another factor Kwok sees driving XRP’s future valuation is the entry of professional money managers. With the expansion of crypto ETFs, he believes top-tier assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP will benefit first.

Fund managers often avoid speculative, lower-cap tokens. This means capital is more likely to flow into the highest-volume and most established cryptocurrencies.

Kwok believes this dynamic could further solidify XRP’s position in the top five, setting the stage for long-term exponential growth.

XRP to $1,000

At $3.01 today, XRP remains far from Kwok’s $1,000 target, but his reasoning highlights the bullish case made by long-term supporters. Specifically, XRP would need to soar by 33,233% to reach that level.

Notably, Kwok first presented this bold outlook in a July interview with the NYSE. The EasyA founder stated that XRP could reach $1,000 by 2030.

He highlighted EasyA’s partnership with Ripple to onboard over 1 million developers to the XRPL and pointed to Ripple’s strategic initiatives, including global licenses and the RLUSD stablecoin, as key steps toward institutional adoption. He also cited Ripple’s acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road as evidence of XRP’s real-world utility in finance.

Kwok emphasized that XRP, unlike Ethereum, hasn’t had its breakout DeFi moment yet but could surge once it does. Despite an underdeveloped DeFi ecosystem, XRP’s market cap has already reached as high as $210 billion, indicating strong potential.

Meanwhile, his view that XRP could reach $1,000 has been keenly contested. Critics argue that such a valuation would make XRP more valuable than the entire stock market. However, Kwok maintains that this potential outcome doesn’t invalidate XRP’s ability to reach that milestone.
