The article from CoinGape discusses the potential impact on $XRP's price if Donald Trump were to establish an XRP reserve instead of a $Bitcoin reserve. With Trump's inauguration, investors are eagerly anticipating new regulatory frameworks and industry developments, particularly a strategic Bitcoin reserve. However, the article hypothesizes that if an XRP reserve were to be created, XRP could become the most bullish cryptocurrency on the market, potentially reaching a price of $1000 per token. This scenario would see XRP's market cap soar to $56.64 trillion, significantly surpassing Bitcoin's current market cap. Despite this speculative outlook, the article acknowledges that XRP is currently undergoing consolidation, having lost 3% on the day of writing, but a surge in trading volume could propel it to new heights.

The analysis further delves into different price scenarios for XRP if an XRP reserve were to be approved. In a conservative estimate, XRP could surge by 50-100%, setting a new all-time high between $5 and $7. A more moderate scenario suggests a 200-300% increase, potentially hitting $10-15. In an exaggerated case, driven by significant FOMO and buying frenzy, the price could jump to between $20 and $30 by 2026, with a 500-600% increase from current levels. The article also speculates on longer-term goals, where with increasing adoption and possibly an XRP ETF approval, XRP could aim for $15-$25 in conservative estimates, with the potential to reach even higher levels in more optimistic projections. However, these predictions are noted as speculative and not to be taken as investment advice, given the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market.[](
