Expert Predicts $10,000 Base Price for XRP as XRPL Upgrades and On‑chain Flows Draw Attention

Crypto commentator Remi posted a prediction that XRP could establish a base price of $10,000, arguing that the XRP Ledger’s growing role in tokenization would materially boost XRP’s utility and valuation ^[1].

Separately, the XRPL recently introduced XLS‑81, a permissioned on‑chain DEX designed for banks and regulated firms that supports KYC/AML‑style controls — an upgrade observers say targets institutional use cases rather than retail trading ^[4].

Market analysts note XRP has entered a consolidation phase after losing more than half its value from the 2025 peak, trading near roughly $1.40 while technicals such as the RSI are at uncommon extremes that often precede higher volatility ^[2][3].

On‑chain metrics add context: several reports show exchange reserves falling and slower whale outflows, which authors interpret as signs of quiet accumulation despite weak momentum; price action is described as stuck between near‑term support around $1.15 and heavy supply near $1.50 ^[6][5].

Remi’s $10,000 base‑price projection is presented as a scenario tied to increased XRPL utility and tokenization; current reporting shows protocol upgrades and mixed market signals — consolidation, supply pressure, and reduced exchange balances — that together frame the longer‑term outlook but do not by themselves confirm such an outcome ^[1][4][2][6].
