The XRP community is familiar with bold price targets, as well-known figures across social media regularly attach eye-catching numbers to the asset. XRP has always attracted this kind of attention, but when the predictions reach a certain level of ambition, respected voices in the space tend to respond. That is exactly what happened recently when PharaohX33, a well-known presence in the XRP community, addressed the latest round of forecasts from Jake Claver. The Prediction That Prompted a Response Influencer Jake Claver, known for making high-conviction XRP calls, set a price target of $1,200 to $2,500 for XRP by the end of 2026 . He has made aggressive predictions before, and critics have challenged him publicly on multiple occasions. He has not backed down, and his latest forecast drew responses from across the community, including one from PharaohX33. Jake is a cool guy But lets be realistic… $XRP to $1200+ is not happening by the end of 2026. Let's get back over $2.00 first. One step at a time. I would LOVE to be wrong, but I won't be. https://t.co/MsmWpPtGVS — 𓂀 (@PharaohX33) May 6, 2026 Keeping Predictions Grounded Although PharaohX33 did not personally dismiss Jake Claver, he acknowledged him positively before shifting the focus to the numbers. His position was straightforward: a $1,200+ target for XRP by the end of 2026 is not realistic. What PharaohX33 emphasized was a return to basics. He pointed to $2 as the more immediate priority , urging the community to focus on recovering that level before entertaining four-digit projections. His message was one of measured progress. Take it one step at a time. He also stated he would love for the prediction to come true, but expressed confidence that it would not. While the majority of the community believes that XRP can grow significantly, PharaohX33 suggests focusing on realistic targets. Focusing On Realistic Levels PharaohX33’s response to this situation did more than challenge a number. It offered a perspective that many in the community may find grounding during a period when conviction-heavy forecasts are constant . Claver’s prediction, even at a fraction of his stated range, would represent significant upside. A move to $150 to $250 would still mark a dramatic shift from XRP’s current price of $1.42. PharaohX33’s point is that extraordinary targets require extraordinary steps, and XRP has not taken such a leap. The Bigger Picture on XRP Forecasts Bold predictions are not unique to XRP, but the asset generates them more frequently than most. The community continues to debate fair value , potential use cases, and what a realistic ceiling looks like in the current cycle. PharaohX33’s response adds a grounded perspective to the ongoing debate, focusing attention on immediate targets before looking toward triple and quadruple-digit levels.
