Armando Pantoja, a well-known crypto investor and expert, has stirred up the XRP army with his view that the digital asset can eventually reach $1,000. He recognizes that such a valuation would require an increase of more than 33,000% from current levels, but is willing to wait 10 years for XRP to achieve that growth. Massive Gains But An Extended Timeline Currently priced near $3, XRP would need to rise by approximately 33,233% to hit the $1,000 mark . Pantoja believes that while this figure is extreme, it is not impossible over a long enough time frame. He points to Bitcoin’s growth as a historical comparison, noting that it took nearly eight years for BTC to remain consistently above $1,000. He believes XRP’s growth potential has been limited by external factors, especially regulatory challenges, but could improve significantly in the years ahead, and he added, “A 33,233% return? I’ll wait 10+ years for that.” $XRP to $1,000? Not tomorrow. Not this year, not next year…..But eventually. Yes. Right now, we’re inside a huge XRP bear trap. Many panicked and sold. ⁰ #XRP ’s lawsuit pushed us back to square one. Remember, $BTC took 8 years just to stay above $1,000. A 33,233% return?… pic.twitter.com/6qE7fYf8jV — Armando Pantoja (@_TallGuyTycoon) July 26, 2025 Regulatory Clarity Could Unlock Value A major reason for XRP’s lack of strong price movement, according to Pantoja, is its prolonged legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For years, the SEC’s claim that XRP was a security put pressure on the token’s market performance. Pantoja stated that the lawsuit sent XRP back to square one; however, now that the legal dispute is nearing its end , the digital asset is better positioned for growth. He describes the current state of XRP’s market as a “bear trap,” with fear-driven selling dominating investor behavior. Pantoja argues that these conditions present an opportunity for long-term investors willing to wait through cycles of uncertainty.

Critics like Quinten Francois have criticized the $1,000 prediction as unrealistic, and many detractors point out that with over 59 billion XRP in circulation, a $1,000 price would result in a market capitalization of approximately $59 trillion. This would exceed the combined value of major global assets, including gold and the top technology companies. However, some, including EasyA founder Dom Kwok, believe in the $1,000 target and argue that critics don’t account for future shifts in global finance, such as asset tokenization and increased use of digital currencies. CryptoGuard’s Matthew Brienen also previously projected that XRP could reach $1,000 by 2035 . For investors like Pantoja, the focus is on XRP’s role in future financial systems. He maintains that the possibility of substantial returns justifies a long-term perspective, even if it takes over a decade.
