Two Catalysts That Could Drive XRP to $10 by 2027 – Experts Bet

by

In the long corridor where markets murmur, the question of whether XRP might climb to the elusive $10 by next year is not a carnival of hype but a trial of two stubborn hinges. A lone analyst, Sam Daodu, says the answer depends less on sensational talk and more on whether two forces can finally line up, as if destiny were a ledger entry with teeth.

Daodu notes that nearly every sober XRP forecast for 2027 rests on the same two prerequisites: the fog of US regulation must clear, and institutional capital must begin to pour in with the gravity of a closing bell, not a polite drizzle. Without both, the upside is hard to justify, even if pieces of the story cling to a favorable wind.

Mixed Progress for XRP Price

Daodu’s latest report insists that, at the moment, neither prerequisite is securely in place. He points to continuing regulatory uncertainty as the key blocker for institutions, as if a bureaucracy could stop a locomotive with a sticky note.

In his view, the stalled CLARITY Act could change the price dynamics by permanently recognizing XRP as a digital commodity-an outcome that, if it materializes, would likely remove a large portion of risk institutions are still pricing in.

That said, the report frames the situation as a “mixed progress” scenario rather than a clean bull market or a grim bear. On the positive side, several catalysts connected to a potential rally are already visible.

ETF inflows, for instance, have reportedly remained positive with not a single outflow day since April 9. Daodu treats that steady demand as an important signal that market participation is still present-like a stubborn crowd refusing to leave a theatre long after the curtain.

Beyond ETF flow data, Daodu highlights on-chain activity as another supportive element. According to the report, whales have been withdrawing roughly 7 billion XRP from exchanges since February, and large holders appear to be driving a significant portion of those movements.

Even with these bullish indicators, Daodu argues they aren’t arriving with the speed or scale that the $5-$10 outlook depends on. He emphasizes that institutional money-essential to those higher targets-still hasn’t shown up at the level required to justify an instant re-rating of XRP.

Why The Next 60 Days Are Key

To reach above $10, the report argues XRP would need a rare alignment of several events. Daodu says the CLARITY Act would have to pass, ETF inflows would need to scale toward the $4-$8 billion range, and Bitcoin would have to lead a wider rally that accelerates demand across the altcoin complex.

In short, pushing XRP toward $10 is not framed as the most likely path; it’s presented as a scenario that requires multiple catalysts to land at the right time.

Daodu concludes with what XRP holders should monitor over the next 60 days: the Senate Banking Committee markup before May 21. If the markup clears, the bull case remains intact, and $7 becomes a more realistic anchor for the market’s expectations.

If, however, the process stalls in May, the report suggests the outcome could be delayed until 2027. In that event, regulatory delay could cap XRP’s price at around $3 for much of that year-unless Bitcoin triggers another explosive run.
