Pundit: If You Think $20 is Out of Reach, Look at XRP’s Price History

XRP has had a turbulent decade. In 2017, the token traded at $0.006, making a $3 price target look absurd. However, in 2018, XRP crossed $3. The community that once doubted that milestone had its answer.

The pattern repeated. By 2023, many traders had written XRP off entirely. Then in November 2024, XRP moved from $0.50 to $2.60 in a single month, and subsequently completed that run with a surge of over 500%.

High Expectations for XRP

The asset currently trades at $1.39, and crypto enthusiast XRP Dragon (@DRAGON_XRP66) posted a reminder of its trajectory, noting that “$3+ seemed like an impossibility” in 2017 before it became reality. The post highlights how perception has consistently lagged behind price action throughout XRP’s history.

XRP Dragon argues that $10-$20 is absolutely within reach. The post also addresses the $100 target directly, calling it an impossibility in the eyes of skeptics today. The framing mirrors how $3 was viewed in 2017.

He attached a video to the post featuring Donald Trump with the caption “The Storm is Here.” This points to the current U.S. administration as a major catalyst for XRP’s momentum.

The Regulatory Shift That Changed Everything

The Trump administration has taken a clear pro-crypto stance since taking office. That shift has produced tangible results for Ripple and XRP specifically. The SEC ended its lawsuit against Ripple. That case had weighed on XRP for years, creating uncertainty that kept institutional interest limited. Its resolution removed a significant obstacle.

The administration also passed the GENIUS Act, a legislative milestone for digital assets in the U.S. The CLARITY Act is currently in progress. Together, these moves represent a structural change in how the U.S. government approaches crypto regulation. The removal of SEC pressure, combined with active legislative support, gives the asset a fundamentally different backdrop than in previous years.

The Bigger Picture

XRP Dragon’s post closes with a direct challenge to the skeptics: “Just remember how far we have come since 2017.” The point is grounded in documented price history. Each price target that once seemed unreachable eventually became the floor for the next move.

The regulatory environment has shifted. The legal overhang is gone, and legislation is moving. Whether $10, $20, or beyond becomes the next milestone, the conditions shaping XRP’s trajectory today look nothing like they did a year ago.
