Foreign media reports that YoungHoon Kim recently stated that XRP could rise to $5 to $10 in this cycle. This statement quickly spread within the crypto community and sparked discussions among traders about potential catalysts for XRP's future price movement.
Market controversy intensifies
Many traders are skeptical of this prediction, believing that Kim's past assessments of XRP have been inaccurate. Others question his claim of being the "world's highest IQ holder," noting that XRP's recent performance remains weak.
Prices remain below previous highs
The article states that XRP is currently hovering around $1.34, still a significant distance from the $3.66 high reached in July 2025. To reach $10, the price would need to increase more than sixfold from its current level.
ETF funds continue to flow in.
Despite significant market divergence, inflows into XRP-related investment products continue to increase. A single-day net inflow of $11.88 million was recorded on May 29th, bringing the cumulative net inflow since 2026 to approximately $1.42 billion.
