XRP Holders On The Path To Millionaire Status

A market expert has boldly proclaimed that all XRP holders might ultimately become millionaires.

Based on a historical study of XRP’s price movement in 2017, this assertion makes the implication that the altcoin is set for a similar bull run. For many XRP community members, crypto analyst Steph’s viewpoint offers a ray of hope despite current turbulence.

This positive view is challenged, though, by current market dynamics—including the asset’s recent 22% weekly decline.

XRP: Historical Parallels With 2017 Surge

Steph’s optimistic predictions are largely based on the performance of XRP during the 2017-2018 bull run. In that period, the altcoin saw a meteoric rise, increasing by 802% from March to May 2017.

This surge followed a relatively quiet period, with the coin initially lagging behind other cryptocurrencies. XRP has once more exhibited remarkable increase fast forward to 2024, rising by nearly 570% from November 2024 to a top of $3.4 in January 2025.

If history is any indication, Steph thinks the altcoin is only halfway toward its expected ascent. According to the analyst’s examination, a second ascent might drive the asset considerably higher, maybe reflecting the price movement registered in 2017.

The Road To $50,000 Per Token

Many XRP holders wonder if such a rally will turn them into millionaires. The study indicates that, although still rather hypothetical, there is a big possibility. For instance, the price per token would have to be $50,000 if one wanted a 20 XRP ownership to be worth $1 million.

In the same vein, a 500 XRP-holder would need the price to reach $2,000 to make their holdings worth $1 million. Although these figures are staggering, they show the significant influence a large surge could have on portfolios of holders. However, whether such price levels are realistic is still uncertain.

Deviation From 2017 Path: A New Fractal?

Not every researcher shares Steph’s hope. Examining XRP’s present price movement closely reveals some variations from the 2017 trend. XRP dropped significantly from its January high of $3.4, lately falling below $3.

Analyst Dom has claimed that XRP might not go the same route as it did in 2017, suggesting a fractured fractal. Should this be the case, the cryptocurrency may be on a fresh path where future expansion is not correlated with historical price trends.

Market Volatility: Change In Trend Or A Regular Setback?

In spite of these anomalies, XRP has a long-term bright future. Recent price swings of the asset are considered as normal ebb and flow of the market. Correction times are expected, as with any high-growth asset.

At $2.44 right now, XRP dropped almost 4% over the past 24 hours. Still, experts remain optimistic since the asset has great room for expansion.
