Ripple CEO Behind XRP 580% Boom, Analyst Says Round Two Is Here

XRP bulls are taking cues for the next big move from recent posts by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. The timing of these posts has only intensified speculation, especially given their historical precedent. First XRP Pump Signal That Led to a 580% Surge One post fueling speculation of a price surge for XRP was Garlinghouse’s announcement that the company is dropping its cross-appeal in the SEC case. This signals an end to the five-year legal saga that has clouded XRP’s price and could lead to another upsurge. At the time of the announcement last week, XRP was around $2, and not much has changed since then. However, market watchers are convinced a bullish wave is on the horizon. Their conviction comes from what preceded XRP's price pump in November 2024. At that time, Garlinghouse contributed to a powerful XRP rally by revealing a wave of institutional interest in XRP-based products through his tweet. That announcement confirmed filings for XRP ETFs by Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary Funds, and 21Shares. “Institutional interest in XRP products is stronger than ever,” Garlinghouse said at the time. This development added fuel to the upsurge that saw XRP rise from $0.50 to above $2 in just weeks, as investor sentiment improved. The momentum continued, and XRP went on to surpass $3 for the first time in seven years in January 2025. During this period, XRP soared by over 580%. Given that Garlinghouse’s announcement contributed to this surge, XRP bulls believe the latest updates will have a similar effect. “Ripple CEO Did It Once, He’s Doing It Again” Specifically, XFinanceBull, a well-known analyst on X, sees the same setup unfolding once again. He pointed out how Garlinghouse’s moves helped launch XRP into a new range before and believes this latest message could do it again.

Garlinghouse’s latest post described this moment as a closing chapter for Ripple, marking the end of legal distractions and a new focus on building the Internet of Value. With XRP trading at $2.20 at press time, a repeat of history, with another 580% surge, could see XRP reach approximately $15. Could XRP Even Do 10X? Meanwhile, another post from Garlinghouse has sparked even more speculation. After the cross-appeal news, XRP supporters resurfaced an image of his XRP tattoo, to which a community member suggested it symbolized his long-term belief in XRP. Ripple’s CEO then amplified the buzz by replying “1,000%” to the post. Many, including influencer Alex Cobb, interpreted this response as a bold signal that XRP could surge by 1,000%. However, this remains speculative. If XRP were to climb 1,000% from its current price, it would reach nearly $24 per coin. At that level, XRP’s market cap would hit approximately $1.4 trillion. Interestingly, it would eclipse the market values of companies like Tesla and Berkshire Hathaway.
