XRP hovers under $1.40 while the Ripple former chief architect just put a number on the maximalist dream: an eighteen-fold rally. That’s the gap David Schwartz, Ripple former CTO and one of the designers of the XRP Ledger, quietly implied during a live X Space.
“It is more likely that XRP flips Bitcoin due to surge in price of XRP than the collapse of Bitcoin.”

The clip spread fast among XRP holders eager for validation from a technical insider. Fair enough, but the numbers behind that comment deserve scrutiny.
Can XRP Price Hit $1.50 This Week?
XRP’s daily range has stayed tight between $1.375 and $1.40, a compression pattern consistent with the descending-triangle setup analysts have flagged beneath resistance near $1.43–$1.46., with deeper floors at $1.32 and $1.20 if momentum fails.Bitcoin’s dominance reading of 59.05% and an altcoin season index of 39 both point to capital still parked in BTC rather than rotating into XRP or other majors.
- Bull case: A clean break above $1.43 opens a path toward $1.50, and more aggressive models put $1.68–$2.00 in play if the CLARITY Act clears the Senate on September 15 and ETF inflows accelerate.
- Base case: continued consolidation between $1.34 and $1.43 while traders wait on the Fed’s September 16 decision.
- Bear case: a break below $1.32 invalidates near-term bullish structure and opens room toward $1.20.
