$XRP David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO Emeritus, has commented on whether XRP price could one day reach extreme levels such as $50 or even $100.
He offered a perspective that cuts through both blind optimism and outright dismissal.
Key Points
David Schwartz says XRP reaching $50–$100 is not entirely impossible.
He notes crypto history shows “unlikely” outcomes can still happen over time.
Schwartz argues prices reflect real investor conviction, not hype or hope.
XRP staying below $10 suggests weak belief in extreme price targets.
Ripple CTO on $50 to $100 XRP
Notably, the discussion began when an X user urged Schwartz to publicly tell XRP holders that such price targets were impossible, arguing that unrealistic expectations were harming investors.However, Schwartz declined to make such a definitive statement. He explained that his past experience in crypto has made him cautious about declaring any price outcome impossible.
“I don’t feel comfortable saying something like that,” Schwartz remarked.
Why Schwartz Won’t Say XRP Can’t Reach $100
Schwartz acknowledged that while he does not believe a $50–$100 XRP price is likely, history has repeatedly shown that “unlikely” outcomes still happen in crypto.
He pointed to his own surprise during earlier market cycles, recalling a time when XRP trading above $0.25 and Bitcoin reaching $100 both seemed unthinkable. Today, however, XRP is trading near $1.70, while Bitcoin trades around $83,000.

$BTC 🤗Why are Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Prices Rallying Today, A top analyst from crypto analytics firm Santiment says the crypto market is going through a quiet but important phase, even as gold and silver steal the spotlight✨......📯Brian, an analyst at Santiment, explained that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP are not collapsing. Instead, they are being ignored while money flows into precious metals due to global uncertainty.
Bitcoin Sentiment Turns Negative, But Not Dangerous Over the past week, Bitcoin-related discussions jumped by 47%, but not for positive reasons. Many traders have been calling Bitcoin a “dead asset” simply because it has failed to keep up with gold and silver.
Brian pushed back on that idea. Bitcoin is down just 10–12% over the past year, which is normal in crypto terms and can be recovered quickly. The negative chatter is mainly driven by frustration, not panic.
At the time of analysis, Bitcoin was trading around $87,500, after briefly moving above $90,000 earlier in January. Social sentiment has cooled since then, but there is no major fear in the market yet.
Gold and Silver Are Pulling Attention Away From Crypto
Brian pointed out that gold and silver have become the center of attention, especially silver, which has surged sharply in recent weeks. This has pulled discussion and capital away from Bitcoin.
He compared the situation to crypto market cycles, where money often rotates from Bitcoin to altcoins. Right now, that rotation is happening across asset classes, not just within crypto.
Gold’s strong rally is also acting as a fear indicator, reflecting concerns about geopolitics, tariffs, and broader global uncertainty. Large institutions and central banks are buying gold, which explains the strong price action.
