Prominent cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has laid out its most bullish and bearish predictions for Ripple’s XRP . The exchange outlined its long-term outlook for the asset, forecasting the value of $10,000 in XRP in 2030. In its best-case scenario, the exchange predicts a 134% to 188% increase in value by 2030. This would mean that XRP could settle between the $5.10 and $6.28 price mark in the next five years. Institutional adoption, increased XRP usage in payments, and a potential ETF approval are all catalyzing factors. Conversely, from a bearish standpoint, XRP is expected to drop by 94%, resulting in a price decline to $0.13 from its current price point of $2.33. The Gemini chatbot cites regulatory hurdles, slow adoption, and increased market competition as factors informing this outlook.
