Crypto pundit Crypto Michael (@MichaelXBT) recently captured the community’s attention on X. He posted a brief but confident message to his followers, writing, “XRP holders. Your time has come. Next leg up incoming.” The post drew a range of reactions from the XRP community, from enthusiasm to skepticism.
XRP holders.
Your time has come.
Next leg up incoming.
— Crypto Michael (@MichaelXBT) October 2, 2026
The responses varied widely. One commenter questioned the basis for the call, asking what made him say so and requesting a breakdown. Another set a specific price target, predicting $2.3 as the next level. A third commenter pushed for a move straight to $2. Someone also questioned whether XRP would outperform ETH in the short term.
Not everyone was convinced. One commenter put the next target even lower, suggesting the “next leg up” had already arrived at $0.03. Another commenter noted that the same prediction had come and gone many times without substantial changes for XRP.
Crypto Michael is known for his bullish stance on XRP, and one commenter questioned his track record. The commenter said Michael repeats the same call every other day and would claim credit if it eventually happens. Another commenter noted it had been 15 years since a major XRP move felt imminent, but nothing has happened yet.
Crypto Michael’s post arrives at a time when several real developments support bullish sentiment around XRP. In March 2026, the SEC and CFTC issued a joint interpretive release classifying XRP as a digital commodity. That regulatory clarity significantly shifted the landscape for institutional participants, and the SEC recently expanded on that move.
On the partnership front, Ripple announced a cross-border payments deal with Jeonbuk Bank in August. Shortly after, Ripple and SettleMint announced a strategic partnership with regulated financial institutions to build a unified system for digital asset custody, issuance, and lifecycle management, launching first across Asia.

The XRP Ledger also crossed $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets earlier in the year. Meanwhile, Rakuten Wallet integrated XRP for 44 million users across Japan, and RLUSD officially launched in Japan through SBI Holdings in June.
Whether Crypto Michael’s call proves correct remains to be seen. The fundamentals behind XRP have strengthened considerably in 2026, and institutional activity on the XRP Ledger continues to grow. The community is watching closely.
