Former Goldman Sachs analyst-turned-entrepreneur Dom Kwok is sticking to a blockbuster forecast: he says XRP could hit $1,000 by 2030.
Kwok — co-founder of blockchain platform EasyA — reiterated the prediction on a recent podcast, even after the host pushed back on the audacious target. At the time he spoke, XRP was trading around $1.34. Kwok framed his bullish case around two key arguments: growing institutional interest and XRP’s potential role in global payments.
He pointed to what he described as Goldman Sachs’ roughly $154 million stake in XRP ETFs and said major institutions are already deploying capital into those funds. He also argued that XRP stands to benefit from exposure to the estimated $150 trillion global payments market, predicting a coming “utility explosion” for Ripple’s token that could surprise skeptics. “I think XRP is heading to $1000 by 2030,” Kwok said, warning that investors who sit out now could miss “life-changing gains.”
That projection, however, implies an almost inconceivable rally. Moving from about $1.34 to $1,000 would require roughly a 75,000% increase in under four years. For context, XRP’s all-time high more than a decade ago was $3.65 — far short of Kwok’s target — which highlights just how steep the path to $1,000 would be.
Kwok’s forecast underscores a wider debate in crypto circles: some see ETF-driven institutional flows and payments use cases as catalysts for massive upside, while others call such sky-high targets speculative and unlikely given historical price behavior. Investors watching XRP will be weighing both the optimistic thesis Kwok lays out and the sheer scale of the price move required to reach his 2030 goal.
