The University of Brighton Professor provided a price prediction, estimating that Ripple’s XRP could reach $6.10 by 2030. The Professor explained that XRP could surge in value during the next Bitcoin halving in 2028, which will set the stage for the price target of $6.10 by 2030.

“XRP’s price will likely benefit a lot from the Bitcoin halving and potential regulatory clarity in the near and medium term. Volatility is still an issue in the short term. I notice many predictions are quite upbeat toward 2027,” he said. According to the Professor, XRP’s rally will start in 2027 and gain momentum in 2028 during the Bitcoin halving. From thereon, the target of $6.10 could be achievable by 2030, he states.
