Finance Expert Says $1,000 XRP Price Won't Be the Ceiling, But the Floor. Here's why

Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, has reiterated his highly bullish stance on XRP’s long-term value, arguing that a $1,000 price point would represent a baseline rather than an upper limit. His projection is tied to a vision in which XRP becomes the primary bridge asset for the global financial system. At the time of his comments, XRP is trading slightly above $3.

$1,000 as the Baseline for a Global Bridge Asset

According to Aljarrah, the price of XRP would have to increase substantially from its current level to serve its intended function in a future, fully integrated financial infrastructure. He believes that when XRP is adopted as the settlement layer for cross-border transactions and institutional flows, a $1,000 valuation would be the “floor,” not the “ceiling.” This, he says, would reflect the asset’s role in enabling global liquidity rather than speculative trading.

Aljarrah connects this to the evolution of finance toward tokenized assets, real-time foreign exchange settlements, and sovereign debt swaps.

In such an environment, trillions of dollars could move efficiently across jurisdictions, with XRP facilitating these transfers as the bridge currency. He maintains that the current price range would not be sustainable for such a role, as the liquidity available would be insufficient to handle the scale of activity.

Liquidity Requirements in a Tokenized Economy

Aljarrah has previously argued that an XRP price of only a few dollars would be incompatible with a tokenized financial market worth trillions.

In his view, much higher valuations—possibly in the hundreds or thousands of dollars—would be required to provide the necessary liquidity for large-scale settlements, central bank operations, and institutional transactions. This is because higher prices enable more value to be transferred with fewer tokens, increasing efficiency.

The argument also takes into account XRP’s fixed supply of 100 billion tokens and the transaction burn mechanism that permanently removes a small amount from circulation with each transfer. Over time, this reduction in supply, combined with increasing demand, could place upward pressure on price. Aljarrah has stated that burning XRP is “unnecessary” given his expectation that demand will eventually outpace supply.

Views from Other Analysts

This perspective aligns with claims from other XRP advocates. Crypto founder Jake Claver has said XRP is “programmed” to reach $10,000 for institutional efficiency. He has cited Ripple CTO David Schwartz, who explained that moving $1 billion at $1 per XRP requires 1 billion tokens, whereas a single token could achieve the same transfer if worth $1 billion.

Claver has suggested that $10,000 XRP could provide over $500 trillion in theoretical liquidity, sufficient for trillion-dollar transfers, and has projected that such prices could be reached within two years.

Skepticism and Timeline Considerations

Despite the confidence of supporters like Aljarrah and Claver, their projections face skepticism. Critics note that such valuations would result in market capitalizations far exceeding total global wealth, which may not be realistic under current economic models.

Nonetheless, some analysts believe that a $1,000 XRP price could be possible within the next decade if adoption, liquidity, and utility grow at the anticipated pace.
