Developers Are Turning Majorly Bullish on XRP, “They Know Something” — Analyst

A widely followed XRP community figure says sentiment among XRP developers is turning “majorly bullish.”

Digital Asset Investor, who has covered XRP for nearly a decade, claimed that developers across the XRP ecosystem are becoming increasingly optimistic despite XRP’s recent price weakness. XRP is currently trading around $1.35, down roughly 2% over the past week and 5% over the past month.

Key Points

XRP Developer Sentiment Turning Bullish

According to Digital Asset Investor, the current mood among XRP developers feels different from previous market cycles. He said the growing optimism is not limited to a few prominent figures. Instead, it appears to be spreading across multiple developer accounts on X.

The analyst stated that after witnessing years of shifting XRP sentiment, the latest wave of bullishness stands out as unusual. He added that other XRP influencers have also privately noticed the same trend among builders within the ecosystem.

The comments have fueled speculation that developers may expect stronger adoption, regulatory clarity, and deeper institutional integration of the XRP Ledger.

“Trust Me Bro”

Meanwhile, some community members reacting to the post do not share the same level of optimism. X user Dimon argued that Digital Asset Investor makes promising claims without any developer activity metrics on the XRPL to support them.

X user Kevin Walsh also remarked that the view is a “classic trust me bro” take, with no verifiable institutional demand or on-chain data to back it up. He also dismissed the triple-digit price prediction now recirculating within the XRP community.

Kwok Brothers Fuel $1,000 XRP Narrative

Notably, part of the recent bullish discussion stems from comments by Dom and Phill Kwok, the founders of EasyA, who argued that XRP could reach $1,000 within five years.

During an appearance on the Rollup podcast, the brothers dismissed skepticism surrounding XRP’s ability to surpass even $10. They argued that crypto markets often move beyond traditional valuation frameworks and said XRP’s utility could support massive long-term growth.

At XRP’s current price near $1.35, a move to $1,000 would represent roughly a 740-fold increase.

Market Cap Debate Returns

The bold forecast has since divided the crypto community. Critics point out that such a valuation could place XRP among the world’s largest financial assets. However, the Kwok brothers argued that digital asset markets have repeatedly exceeded expectations, citing Bitcoin’s rise beyond traditional valuation models.

Still, critics maintain that a $1,000 XRP valuation would require unprecedented levels of global financial integration and liquidity.

Meanwhile, the Kwok brothers have consistently defended their triple-digit XRP outlook. They previously reiterated the target during appearances at the New York Stock Exchange in 2025.

With XRP still below the key $1.50 level, it first needs to reclaim its previous peaks before making a run toward double digits or higher.
