Crypto enthusiast Mason Versluis has been vocal about XRP for years. His price targets have historically reached into the triple digits. Now, he is publicly pulling those expectations back, and his reasoning is worth paying attention to.
Versluis <a href="https://x.com/MasonVersluis/status/2113415081866469770" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">posted to X</a> with the caption “XRP to $5.89: My expectations for the next bull run,” alongside a video elaborating on his revised outlook.

Versluis acknowledged his own history of aggressive predictions. “I’ve been yapping about XRP for five years saying, yo, it’s going to 100 bucks,” he said. He is no longer standing behind that figure.
His current target sits <a href="https://timestabloid.com/crypto-proponent-says-xrp-is-not-designed-for-3-5-or-10-heres-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">between $5 and $10</a> for the next bull run. He believes the asset has a strong long-term case, but he is adjusting for the reality of how long the wait may actually be.
“The future looks insanely bullish for XRP,” Versluis said. His core message is that <a href="https://timestabloid.com/expert-to-xrp-investors-yes-the-time-is-up-heres-what-happened/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP investors </a>who can tune out short-term noise stand to benefit. The problem, as he sees it, is timing. Many analysts and commentators set expectations based on short-term sentiment without accounting for how many years the cycle may actually take to play out.

<h2 id="strong-the-cost-of-holding-strong">The Cost of Holding</h2>
Versluis is candid about the difficulty of extended holding periods. He says the prospect of waiting another five, seven, or even ten years is painful, especially given how little he personally gained from the last cycle.
He notes that only investors who entered at very low prices, around $0.01 to $0.10, are sitting on life-changing returns. A $1,000 investment hitting a 10x return yields $10,000, which he does not consider wealth-generating at scale.

Responses to the post varied. X user BrutallyHonest <a href="https://x.com/motowarriorx/status/2113417663162781722?s=46" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">raised </a>a practical concern: “To be truthful if it takes that long it’s probably better off buying another asset if it takes 5 to 10 years to get to $5.”
X Expert offered a slightly higher ceiling. “8-9 dollars tops and i aint no XRP guy,” he <a href="https://x.com/thexexpert/status/2113420150531891639?s=46" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wrote</a>.
Macro Bombastic kept it straightforward. “tbh I’d take $5.89 and run lol,” he <a href="https://x.com/macrobombastic/status/2113420958891430014?s=46" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a>.
<h2 id="strong-what-the-revised-target-signals-strong">What the Revised Target Signals</h2>
Versluis is not abandoning XRP. He is recalibrating. The move from <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-100-price-predictions-ex-md-at-blackrock-xrp-success-statement/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$100 targets</a> to a $5 to $10 range reflects a more grounded read on market timelines. Whether or not the next bull run meets even his revised expectations, his shift signals a maturing perspective from one of XRP’s more vocal supporters.
