Crypto pundit Crypto Dyl has revealed how high the XRP price could reach if it replicates its historical surge in 2017. This comes amid former Ripple CTO David Schwartz’s statement in which he addresses predictions that the altcoin could rally to $10,000. Pundit Reveals XRP Price Target If It Mirrors 2017 Surge In an X post, Crypto Dyl stated that the XRP price could rally to $1,044 if it sees another supply shock and records a 768x gain as it did in 2017. He noted that in 2017, the altcoin rallied from $0.005 to $3.84 due to a supply shock. The pundit added that XRP had decoupled from Bitcoin prior to the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, which helped contribute to this rally.

He highlighted how XRP delivered nearly 350x returns during the period, compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which gained 14x and 100x, respectively. SMQKE stated that XRP was able to achieve such massive returns without Ripple making any major acquisition at the time to boost the token’s use case. As such, he believes that the XRP price is better positioned to record more significant gains than it was back then, since Ripple has made major acquisitions that have boosted the token’s use case. However, amid these bullish outlooks for the XRP price, crypto pundit ChartNerd has warned about ultra-bullish price targets for the altcoin. He stated that the overly ambitious price targets being thrown around for XRP are far more “dangerous and unrealistic” than the predictions of a drop below $1, which are grounded in historical data. Former Ripple CTO Comments On $10,000 XRP Prediction In an X post, former Ripple CTO David Schwartz suggested that an XRP price rally to $10,000 as unlikely to ever happen. He stated that if there were a few “very rich, very rational” people who really believed that there was a 1% chance that XRP could hit this target in ten years, they would be bidding the altcoin up to at least $20 today.

He noted that they have explained what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what they hope to achieve. The former Ripple CTO added that they are not hiding any grand conspiracy about XRP, even if they aren’t transparent about everything. Schwartz also indicated that there is no way they would have waited this long if indeed they had ways to boost XRP’s price. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.38, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
