  • XRP's Millionaire-Maker Potential Under Scrutiny
    May 24, 2026, 6:57 PM EDT. Crypto investors eye XRP as a potential millionaire maker, hoping for 1,000x returns from a $1,000 stake. This leap mirrors Bitcoin's journey from $100 in 2013 to $100,000 by 2024, a rare but revolutionary return. XRP's thesis hinges on enabling frictionless global money transfers, yet challenges persist. At around $1.40, XRP would need to soar to $1,400 to match Bitcoin's return scale - a level far beyond its 2018 peak of $3.84. Ripple's former CTO, David Schwartz, warns against unrealistic price targets like $10,000, noting XRP's stagnant pricing. While XRP could hit $10 in the next decade, this falls short of the threshold to create crypto millionaires, underscoring doubts about XRP's astronomical growth potential.
