In his latest video, the market commentator known as CryptoInsightUK laid out a multi-step argument for why XRP could “very realistically go to $10 plus this cycle — and potentially into the $20-to-$30 range.” The analyst combined macro-asset rotation, historical dominance patterns and a series of back-of-envelope calculations to contend that most investors are still underestimating the token’s upside.

Why $10 Per XRP Is The Start

The crypto pundit began with a brief look at Bitcoin liquidity, predicting that a build-up of short positions could generate “a very likely squeeze up to $103,000” before any near-term correction. But he quickly pivoted to the long-form case for altcoins — and XRP in particular — arguing that the broader environment of currency debasement has already lifted traditional hedges such as gold and equities well beyond their 2017 levels. “Gold was at $1,200 an ounce and is now at $3,200 […] the S&P was at 233 and is now at 566,” he said, emphasising that both assets “trend in the same direction, at least against the dollar.”

That inflation in nominal asset values, he suggested, sets the stage for a capital rotation into crypto. “17% of twenty-two trillion,” he calculated — a hypothetical pullback in the gold market — “could easily add on to the crypto market cap […] and that would push Bitcoin up to $180,000 to 220,000.”

The linchpin of his XRP thesis is the historical relationship between Bitcoin’s share of total crypto capitalisation (“Bitcoin dominance”) and XRP price performance. Displaying overlaid charts, he noted that in 2017 a 47% fall in dominance coincided with an “11x” rise in XRP, and that in 2021 a 46% fall aligned with a 600 percent gain despite the overhang of the Ripple vs. US Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit.

“XRP is one of the major gainers when Bitcoin dominance is falling,” he asserted, adding that a fresh 40% draw-down — merely a return to the lower boundary of the long-term range — would, on past ratios, imply an XRP move to roughly $16. A deeper slide toward 25% dominance would, by the same arithmetic, yield “that $36-to-$37 target.”

He repeatedly cautioned that his figures were illustrative rather than “definitively correct”, yet, he pushed back against objections that such price projections would require an impossibly large market capitalisation. Citing the tripling of gold’s market value since 2017 and a surge in US sovereign debt to $36 trillion, he argued that absolute numbers should not deter analysis: “Market cap shouldn’t stop you from making what a lot of people are calling outrageous claims to price.”

CryptoInsightUK framed this stance as technical rather than narrative driven. His overlay of XRP dominance on Bitcoin dominance highlighted what he called a “very correlated inversely” pattern in which XRP rallies compress into short, explosive windows once Bitcoin’s share begins to ebb. “XRP does its moves really quickly,” he warned, urging viewers not to let “emotional bias” or dislike of the asset blind them to historical precedent.

At press time, XRP traded at $2.13.
