Prediction: This Will Be the Price of XRP (Ripple) by 2030
A Motley Fool analyst predicts XRP will trade at $0.60 by 2030, down from current levels around $1.34. The bearish outlook stems from the argument that Ripple's cross-border payment transactions using XRP are demand-neutral, as the token is bought and sold instantaneously in equal amounts. More critically, Ripple's own dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD is better positioned to serve as the bridge asset for international transfers due to its stability advantage, making XRP's price primarily driven by speculation rather than fundamental mechanics.
