The $100 Target Has Backing

Kirby’s position has support from several voices in the crypto space who have already put $100 forward as a realistic target for XRP.

Crypto commentator Time Traveler posted on X in April that he did not want to “insinuate any dates for when we get rich,” but stated that “2026 is probably the year of $100+ XRP.” He paired the short-term outlook with a longer view, urging followers to consider XRP’s role in finance by 2050.

Bird, a well-known analyst and developer, was more concise. His post read: “XRP will be $100+.” Bird has previously argued that the XRP Ledger’s capacity to tokenize real-world assets gives the $100 price point a structural basis.

Pushing the Target Further

Market commentator Jake Claver set a target well beyond $100. He put $750 as his end-of-2026 price for XRP, tying the projection to remarks from Ripple president Monica Long, who indicated that full-scale institutional adoption of blockchain could arrive within that timeframe.

The $750 figure drew skepticism from parts of the community, but it signals that some analysts see $100 as a floor rather than a ceiling.

Who Is Staying?

Kirby’s post reflects a pattern that appears in every major bull cycle. Investors accumulate during low-price periods. As prices rise, most exit before the upper levels are reached. By stating her intention to hold past $50 and into $100 territory, Kirby puts herself in a defined minority.

One commenter argued that it would take till 2030 for XRP to reach that $100 target. Kirby pushed back, stating that it would happen sooner than expected, and analysts support this view, as many believe the asset could go as high as $1,000 by 2030. Investors who see $10-$50 as high targets could miss out on significant gains.
