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.While many agree that XRP could be worth more in the future, there is considerable disagreement about the timeline. Changelly contributes to the discussion by issuing specific projections.When Could XRP Reach $501 and $2,406?According to Changelly, XRP could be trading at $501.59 by February 2040, less than 15 years from now. Considering XRP’s current price of around $3, this would represent a massive gain of 17,499.7%.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 XRPTo 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 GrokChatGPT 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 $2,406 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
