XRP Ledger validator Hussain Zangana, aka Vet, has joined the ongoing discussion about XRP reaching a four-digit price.
He says holders should focus less on XRP price predictions and more on how the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is being adopted by traditional finance.
In a recent post on X, Vet said he is more excited about XRPL’s growing use in traditional finance, or TradFi, than predictions that XRP could reach $1,000 or another specific price.
What’s most exciting isn’t $1000 price predictions or any price prediction really.
It’s the XRP Ledger growing and get adopted in TradFi as we speak. Nothing is being handed to us. This is hard work to make it happen.
Let price be a knock on effect of this hard work that goes…

Vet Focuses on XRPL Adoption
Vet believes the long-term value of XRPL will depend on how widely it is used in the financial system. He said the progress is coming from ongoing efforts to bring blockchain technology into traditional financial infrastructure.
He described this as an attempt to improve the “rails of the financial system” and change how money moves around the world.
XRP Price to Benefit From Growth
Meanwhile, Vet also suggested that XRP’s price should be a result of the network’s growth, rather than the main goal.
“Let price be a knock-on effect of this hard work,” he wrote.

His comments stress that real-world adoption is more important than price speculation. This comes as “XRP $1,000” started trending on X following a tweet by EasyA co-founder Dom Kwok.
Dom Kwok Brings Back $1,000 XRP Prediction
On X, Kwok said that XRP reaching $1,000 is “more likely than ever”. The post came at a time when XRP was struggling, trading at $1.43, down more than 60% from its all-time high.
Given that the crypto market is just emerging from a harrowing bear market, such an ambitious prediction attracted enormous attention.
XRP analyst ChartNerd said it was embarrassing to see such a price outlook from such a prominent community figure. X user Tarkan Aslaner also challenged the prediction, asking for evidence to support expectations of a four-digit XRP price.
“We’re sick of bullshit predictions and sick of reading/hearing ‘next month, next 48 hours’ horse shit,” Aslaner wrote.
XRP Supporters Defend Long-Term Outlook
Meanwhile, some community members defended the $1,000 prediction, pointing to Dom Kwok’s background. One commenter said the prediction deserves attention because Kwok is the co-founder of EasyA and previously worked at Goldman Sachs.
XRP influencer John Squire said that Kwok’s continued comments about the $1,000 XRP outlook make the forecast seem more believable to some supporters.
Maybe my brother Jake Claver isn’t so crazy after all… 👀
Dom Kwok just said $1,000 XRP is more likely than ever.
Suddenly, those “crazy” XRP predictions don’t sound quite so crazy anymore. 🔥 https://t.co/ezNjSWo1DF

Yet ChartNerd warned holders to be careful with accounts predicting four-figure prices. He argued that some of these predictions ignore XRP’s 70% decline in 2026.
Timeline for $1,000
With XRP at $1.43, the token would need to increase by approximately 69,830% to reach $1,000. At that price, its market capitalization would exceed $63 trillion. These extreme valuation and price requirements are part of the reason many people disagree with the $1,000 outlook.
Meanwhile, EasyA co-founder Dom Kwok argues that the potential market capitalization does not invalidate the possibility of the price target.
He argues that market capitalization alone should not determine how valuable an asset can become. He points to Bitcoin, which has reached a multitrillion-dollar market capitalization despite generating far less revenue than major companies such as Walmart.
Web3 Alert founder Nick has similarly questioned why XRP’s potential should be limited by market-cap arguments when Bitcoin has previously reached more than $2.2 trillion in market capitalization.
Interestingly, Kwok and his brother have said that XRP reaching $1,000 within four to five years is “definitely” possible.
Critics, however, argue that this would make XRP more valuable than some of the world’s largest companies and assets, making the $1,000 prediction extremely ambitious.
Meanwhile, for Vet, the focus should be on the network’s actual growth and adoption, not price predictions.
