The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a significant surge, driven by anticipation that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] might approve a spot Ethereum ETF soon. Among the top performers, Ethereum [ETH] has shown remarkable gains. However, Ripple’s XRP is also making notable strides, catching the attention of investors.
Recently, XRP saw a 6% daily increase, nearing the $0.55 mark for the first time since early May. Although it experienced a slight dip, trading at $0.5343 at press time, the asset’s recent uptrend has sparked discussions about its potential to reach new heights. Several investors are considering the prospects of XRP hitting $3.84, a previous all-time high.

Calculating the Investment
Let’s break down the numbers to understand the potential windfall from XRP reaching $3.84. Achieving a $1 million portfolio from XRP at this price requires about 260,416 XRP tokens. At the current price of $0.534, acquiring these tokens would necessitate an initial investment of $139,218, which is merely 13.92% of the $1 million target. This calculation is straightforward, with a target value per XRP of $3.84; dividing $1,000,000 by $3.84 gives 260,416 XRP. At the present market price, the cost to buy these tokens totals about $139,218.
If Ripple’s XRP were to reach $3.84, today’s investors could see a return of over 618%. This potential gain underscores the attractiveness of investing in XRP now, especially given the relatively modest initial capital required compared to the substantial possible returns.

Despite the optimism, some investors remain cautious. The skepticism stems from XRP’s historical performance. The $3.84 ATH was achieved six years ago, and XRP has struggled to reach such peaks again, even during subsequent bull cycles. As of the latest bull market, XRP hasn’t surpassed the $0.70 mark since March, feeling doubts about its ability to break past $1 in the near future.
