Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) has a $15 price target for XRP. The call is aggressive, as the asset traded at $1.29 when the analysis was published. Still, the analyst is not hedging. His post reads: “XRP will fly to $15.00 before you know it.”

Reading the Chart

The analyst shared a weekly chart spanning 2024 through projected 2028. The price action shows XRP bottoming near $0.41 in late 2024. It then rallied sharply into early 2025, reaching highs above $3. After that peak, the price pulled back and consolidated between roughly $1.00 and $1.60 through 2025 and into 2026.

The analyst overlays a curved trajectory on the chart. It projects XRP recovering from the current $1.29 level, accelerating upward through 2027, and reaching the $15 target by late 2027 or early 2028. The curve follows a parabolic shape and acted as support in August when the asset broke out from under $1.

What the Community Thinks

The prediction drew a range of responses, most of them skeptical. Several people rejected the target outright. One said the prediction was delusional, pointing to XRP’s inability to reclaim $2 despite nine months of sideways action.

Many others argued it would not happen. One person questioned the basis of the analysis entirely, asking whether Steph had actually analyzed the market or had taken the idea from a Tesla event.

A commenter raised a supply concern. He argued that projecting $15 per token is a bold position given XRP’s circulating supply. The implication is that the market cap required to sustain that price would be substantial.

Not everyone dismissed the call entirely. One person suggested XRP might move higher within a few months, stopping short of endorsing the $15 target. Another said he would take $5 and be satisfied.

Where XRP Stands

XRP is currently priced at $1.29. Reaching $15 from that level requires the price to multiply roughly 11.6x. The analyst’s chart suggests that the move would unfold over the next one to two years, and he is confident in the asset’s trajectory.

Community reception has been largely skeptical, with most responses pushing back on the likelihood of such a gain. Whether the chart structure Steph Is Crypto has identified develops as projected remains to be seen.
