Analysts have previously argued that XRP needs to reach at least $10 to achieve the returns most retail holders expect. Jake Claver, a digital asset analyst whose clients hold significant XRP positions, says this goal is achievable, but only if a specific set of conditions are met at the same time.
The $10 goal and what it requires
Clover was open about the circumstances that are necessary. A $10 XRP is not the standard outcome. It is the outcome of a perfect storm, and several events must occur in succession for that storm to manifest.
The most important piece is the CLARITY Act. Claver argued that the legislation is not only important for crypto sentiment. It is structurally critical to the global financial system. His reasoning is specific and largely absent from mainstream reporting.
When the carry trade in the yen eventually comes to a halt, a significant volume of U.S. Treasuries will enter the market as Japanese and other foreign investors sell U.S. bonds to buy domestic assets. The US needs domestic demand to absorb these government bonds without destabilizing the bond market.
Stablecoins, which under the GENIUS Act framework must be backed by US Treasury bonds, represent that domestic demand. Without regulation of stablecoins, banks are unable to issue them at scale, and without that scale there is no safety net for the bond market.
“If we haven’t strengthened stablecoin regulations, the banks won’t be in a position to do that,” Claver said. “Stablecoins are the domestic demand to stabilize the bond market and ensure that the entire global financial system does not collapse.”
In that context, the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act are not just crypto regulation. They form a systemic financial infrastructure, and their passage unlocks the conditions under which XRP’s cross-border settlement tool becomes indispensable on an institutional scale.
Where XRP is now
XRP briefly reached $1.00 this week before recovering slightly to be about 70% below its all-time high. Claver described current prices as a buying opportunity.
A $10
None of these things are guaranteed. But Claver believes it’s more likely that they will all happen before this cycle ends, and that the investors positioned now are the ones who will benefit most when they do.
