By Sydney TheCMO

1 / 15

The Conservative Case: $3 to $5 by 2027. Daodu's base case puts XRP somewhere between $3 and $5 by 2027.

The Bull Case: $7 to $10 Needs Banks to Actually Move. The optimistic scenario is where things get interesting — and also where the conditions get a lot…

13 / 15

XRP at $1.12 right now, recovering from $1.05, is basically living in the early stages of the bearish scenario.

The CLARITY Act's trajectory is probably the single biggest variable across all three scenarios.
