According to a recent interview, Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, has pushed a strongly bullish case for XRP with aggressive price targets and a clear list of what he believes will move markets.
Claver told host Paul Barron that a mix of policy shifts and market moves could send XRP far above its current trading level just under $3.
Claver’s Bold Targets
Claver put forward price ranges that would surprise many watchers: $10 to $13 as a plausible near-term target and $20 to $25 as a stretch outcome by year-end.
He tied the $10–$13 scenario to approval of an XRP exchange-traded fund, saying he holds 90% confidence that an ETF will be approved.
Claver also linked the broader rally idea to expected interest rate cuts, arguing that lower borrowing costs would push money into risk assets.
Based on reports, market participants have placed an over 96% chance on a 0.25% Fed rate cut. That probability has been widely discussed by traders and analysts as a major market trigger.
Interest Rates And Market Flows
Reports have disclosed that many market voices think a rate cut could stoke rallies across the crypto space. Some analysts forecast a Bitcoin run to $150,000 and Ethereum climbing to $10,000 if easing arrives.
That kind of movement in the largest coins, the argument goes, tends to lift smaller tokens along with it. Claver suggested that ETF approval plus rate relief would be a clear fuel source for XRP gains. He made the point that ETFs act like a gateway for institutional cash.
Holding Patterns And Liquidity Signals
Meanwhile, Xaif Crypto’s data was cited to show that more than 80% of XRP’s total supply has not moved from wallets for over a year.
That degree of dormancy implies many holders are keeping long positions. When so much supply is idle, available liquidity shrinks.
Price swings can then become more extreme if demand rises quickly. That dynamic was suggested as another reason why a sudden move to double-digit prices could be possible once momentum builds.

Claver emphasized XRP’s payments use case and singled out Southeast Asia as a region where the token sees stronger uptake.
He also argued that real-world utility—faster cross-border transfers at low cost—makes XRP more attractive to institutions than many trend-driven tokens.
Holders who back that view are described as loyal and confident, and that behavior was presented as a stabilizing factor for the market.
