XRP is back in the spotlight on two very different fronts: a fresh burst of technical price targets stretching from the high single digits to the teens, and a separate, widely shared clip that claims an internal valuation exercise produced figures reaching into the thousands per coin.
The louder numbers are also the most contentious.
A video circulating on social media shows Teucrium CEO and CIO Sal Gilbertie discussing what he described as an internal, non-public paper reviewing “legitimate pricing models” for XRP, with a range that allegedly spans roughly $5 to as high as $4,300.

The document itself has not been released, and the upper bound has triggered immediate skepticism alongside the viral hype.
From $8–$12 to $18.76: The Technical Case Builds On Long Charts
Separate chart-driven analyses making the rounds point to multi-year structures that, in their view, keep XRP biased upward into 2027.
One model frames XRP as moving inside a long-running ascending channel, with an eventual objective roughly between $8 and $12 if the pattern remains intact through the next major cycle, says Canadian chart analyst Celal Kucucker.
Another popular long-term read highlights a repeating “cup” formation on a quarterly chart and projects a move to about $18.76, based on a prior cycle’s percentage gain. Both views hinge on XRP holding key rising support zones and, critically, eventually clearing the region around its prior peak near the mid-$3s.
In the nearer term, some market watchers have also focused on momentum indicators turning up—citing a bullish MACD crossover—as a sign that the next leg higher could be forming, even if the path is expected to be uneven.
How The $4,300 XRP Price Claim Revolves Around “Velocity”
In the circulating Gilbertie clip, the logic centers on velocity: how frequently the same XRP units can be reused to settle large payment flows. The argument is that faster settlement would reduce the amount of XRP required at any moment, while still implying a price that “calibrates” to handle institutional-scale liquidity needs.
That framing treats XRP less like a speculative token and more like plumbing for cross-border settlement. It’s also why critics point out the gap between theoretical models and the messy realities of adoption, regulation, and market structure.
For our readers, the practical takeaway is simpler: XRP narratives are widening again—technical cycle targets on one side, institutional-use valuation theory on the other—raising both upside expectations and the risk of overinterpreting claims that can’t yet be independently verified.
