One of the cryptocurrency sector’s most aggressive long-term projections recently returned to the spotlight following commentary from a prominent industry observer.
Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) published a video focusing on a public exchange between crypto analyst ChartNerd and Dom Kwok, an individual recognized for his strongly bullish outlook on XRP. The clip revived interest in a specific price target that has trailed Kwok for years.
ChartNerd Issues a Public Challenge
Known for holding forecasters accountable, ChartNerd maintains a bullish stance on XRP while adopting a measured methodology. He recently predicted that the digital asset would retreat below $1. Trading at $1.16 and trending downward, XRP leaves that particular forecast viable.
He directed a public question at two XRP forecasters. ChartNerd asked Kwok if a $1,000 XRP by 2030 was still anticipated, and he asked Jake Claver whether a ?$750 XRP by end of year was still the call. Claver initially assigned that $750 target to 2025—which failed to materialize—before reiterating it for 2026.
Previously, ChartNerd criticized XRP influencers who floated targets exceeding $1,000 for the conclusion of 2026, publicly questioning their whereabouts. His challenge to Kwok fit squarely into this ongoing pattern of oversight.

Kwok Does Not Back Down
Kwok responded concisely: “if you can’t see it, it’s not my duty to convince you.” He provided no updated price objective, maintaining his $1,000 XRP by 2030 forecast without hesitation despite facing public pressure.
In his video, Digital Asset Investor noted that Kwok is “sticking to his guns” and added, “I’ll take it,” expressing backing for the optimistic long-term view.
ChartNerd’s Position
ChartNerd’s objective was not to dismiss the overarching XRP thesis. He replied to Kwok to emphasize that he fully supports “higher $XRP valuations and overall Ripple/community success.” His issue lay with the lack of substantiating evidence behind the numbers, noting that “public predictions will inevitably invite public scrutiny” while inquiring about how the targets were calculated.
Where the Prediction Stands
With XRP changing hands at $1.16 and drifting downward, the distance to Kwok’s $1,000 mark remains massive. Although 2030 is still four years away and the timeframe remains open, Kwok refuses to alter his stance.
Meanwhile, ChartNerd believes XRP will trade below $1,000. The forecast remains a point of intense public interest, and its creator shows zero indication of backing down.
