Evaluating XRP's Millionaire Math
For XRP to make millionaires from modest stakes, the token must rise dramatically. A jump from today's $2.40 to $100 represents a 41x gain. That means an investor with 10,000 tokens today—roughly $24,000 worth—could reach seven-figure status. But here's where it gets interesting: XRP doesn't need wild speculation to get there. It needs inflows.
If a Spot ETF is approved, and institutions start accumulating XRP the way they did Bitcoin post-ETF, the resulting demand shock could tip the supply-demand scales fast. XRP's circulating supply is relatively fixed, and much of it is locked or illiquid. That makes price more sensitive to sudden buying pressure.
Anticipating Rate Cuts Could Push XRP Up
If the Fed begins easing rates at its June meeting, capital is likely to flee conservative assets and seek risk. That's a historical tailwind for crypto—especially altcoins with large communities and established infrastructure. XRP, with a market cap that still sits under its 2021 highs and more utility potential than meme coins, becomes an attractive target.
Lower rates don't just increase appetite for risk. They also reduce the opportunity cost of holding assets like XRP over cash or bonds. This could set the stage for XRP to outperform, even in a crowded altcoin field.
XRP Ledger Adoption Brings Long-Term Value
The XRP Ledger is seeing more real-world traction—from tokenized Treasurys to stablecoins and cross-border payments. Ripple's partnerships with financial giants like Guggenheim and the rollout of RLUSD are turning XRP into more than a speculative asset.
This matters. When an asset underpins enterprise-level systems, its volatility often declines while its valuation becomes more stable. The long-term implication? XRP can be both a utility coin and a store of value—a rare combo in crypto.
XRP's Technical Indicators Hint at Higher Highs
XRP's RSI sits around 57, showing moderate bullish momentum without being overbought. The MACD is holding a positive crossover, and XRP is forming a higher-low structure on the weekly chart—a setup often preceding big breakouts.
If XRP clears resistance at $3.00, it could unlock a psychological and technical rally toward the $5 to $10 range. From there, the road to $50–$100 isn't a guarantee—but it's no longer a fantasy either.
What It Really Takes to Be an XRP Millionaire
Crypto investor Austin Hilton laid it out: Millionaire status isn't about timing the top. It's about cost basis, consistency, and conviction. He advocates for dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and setting realistic price targets based on your stack.
For example, someone holding 5,000 XRP at $2.05 would need a $200 price to hit $1 million. But with swing trading and careful stacking, that goal might come closer even if XRP only reaches $100.
Patience and planning beat panic and FOMO.
Is XRP the Next Millionaire Maker?
It depends on what happens next. If ETF approval lands. If rates fall. If institutional demand meets fixed supply. Then yes, XRP could make millionaires.
But even without a moonshot, XRP is becoming more than a token. It's morphing into a platform, and millionaires often come not from hype coins, but from owning early pieces of the next infrastructure layer.
At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $2.24.

Why This Analyst Thinks MicroStrategy Stock Can Soar to a New Street-High Target of $680
Digital currency holding company MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy (MSTR), recently received a stock price upgrade from TD Cowen. Analysts at the investment firm raised the price target from $590 to a Street high of $680 because of surrounding optimism regarding the company's Bitcoin (BTCUSD) operations. The company has been acquiring Bitcoin at a steady pace. In fact, Strategy recently purchased 4,225 more BTC for $472.5 million. This announcement also came at a time when Bitcoin reached a new all-time high, climbing above the $123,000 mark. More News from Barchart It's Never 'Happened in the History of Tech to Any Company Before': OpenAI's Sam Altman Says ChatGPT is Growing at an Unprecedented Rate Ditch 'Basic' Nvidia and Buy This 'Unique' Chip Stock Instead Tesla Earnings, Powell Speech and Other Can't Miss Items this Week Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! TD Cowen highlighted that the company stands out as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, and while competitors might try to emulate Strategy, the company has a significant cost of capital advantage. About Strategy Stock Incorporated in 1989 and headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia, Strategy is an enterprise analytics and business intelligence company. Originally known for its software solutions that enabled organizations to analyze vast datasets, the company has transformed into the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin under the watchful eye of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. In 2020, the company shifted its focus from analytics to become a significant holder of cryptocurrency, aggressively buying Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, thereby positioning itself at the forefront of corporate crypto adoption. Now, the company can almost act as a proxy for holding crypto. The firm currently has a market capitalization of $115 billion. This year, given the conducive environment that has emerged in the cryptocurrency market, Strategy has been increasing its Bitcoin holdings, which has given a boost to its stock. Over the past 52 weeks, MSTR stock has gained a massive 172%. The stock is also up 46% year-to-date (YTD). While MSTR is about 28% lower than its 52-week high of $543, the stock reached a YTD high of $457.22 on July 16. However, Strategy stock is currently trading at an eye-watering valuation. Its price sits at 266 times sales. Needless to say, this valuation is highly stretched compared to the industry average. Bitcoin Acquisition and Financials Strategy is raising capital to acquire more Bitcoin. Prior to the recent buying, the company purchased 4,020 BTC in May. Strategy is actively financing its Bitcoin acquisitions through at-the-market (ATM) offerings. Strategy last declared an ATM program pursuant to which the company may issue and sell shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock. The offering is worth a total of $4.2 billion. For the first quarter of 2025, Strategy's revenues declined 3.6% year-over-year (YOY) to $111.1 million. However, the company's subscription services revenues grew by 61.6% annually to $37.1 million. Strategy reported a 13.7% BTC Yield as of the end of Q1. This is a key performance indicator that indicates the percentage change of the ratio between the company's BTC holdings and its assumed diluted shares outstanding. At the end of Q1, Strategy reported $5.8 billion in "BTC $ Gain.' For the full year of 2025, the company raised its BTC Yield target from 15% to 25% and increased the BTC $ Gain target from $10 billion to $15 billion. For Q2, Wall Street analysts expect Strategy's loss per share to narrow by 84% annually. This year, the company is expected to turn a profit of $7.30 per share, which indicates a 209% YOY increase. What Do Analysts Think About Strategy Stock? Analysts have become exceptionally bullish on Strategy stock amid its massive cryptocurrency bet. In addition to the price upgrade from TD Cowen, the company's stock has received several more upgrades. Barclays analyst Ramsey El-Assal raised the price target on MSTR stock from $421 to $475 while maintaining an "Overweight" rating. This upgrade reflects confidence in the strategic direction that the company has taken and its performance forecasts. Meanwhile, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brett Knoblauch cut his price target by a small amount from $619 to $614. However, the analyst maintained the overall rating on the stock at 'Overweight.' Knoblauch also believes that Strategy will be able to maintain its premium NAV and continue purchasing BTC in the near future. Finally, analysts at H.C. Wainwright raised their price target from $480 to $521 while keeping a 'Buy' rating. This raise was predicated upon Strategy raising its 2025 guidance and doubling its capital raising plan. H.C. Wainwright also mentioned the upside exposure the company is gaining from its Bitcoin holdings. Strategy has become a popular name on Wall Street, with analysts giving it a consensus 'Strong Buy' rating overall. Of the 13 analysts rating the stock, a majority of 11 analysts rate it a 'Strong Buy,' one analyst suggests a 'Moderate Buy,' and one analyst gives it a 'Strong Sell' rating. The consensus price target of $543.62 represents about 28% upside from current levels, while TD Cowen's Street-high price target of $680 indicates 61% potential upside.

Trump Media stock surges after acquiring $2 billion of bitcoin
The stock of President Trump's namesake media group opened 6% higher Monday morning after it announced it had purchased $2 billion in bitcoin (BTC-USD) and related securities. Trump Media (DJT) — which runs the president's social media platform Truth Social along with streaming platform Truth+ and financial services brand — said it acquired the cryptocurrencies as part of a previously shared plan in May to become a bitcoin treasury company. With those purchases, Trump Media said exposure to the world's largest cryptocurrency now comprises two-thirds of its total of $3 billion in assets. "We're rigorously implementing our publicly announced strategy and fulfilling our bitcoin treasury plan,' Trump Media's CEO and President Devin Nunes said in the press release. "These assets help ensure our company's financial freedom, help protect us against discrimination by financial institutions, and will create synergies with the utility token we're planning to introduce across the Truth Social ecosphere." The company also said it allocated another $300 million to an 'options acquisition strategy for bitcoin related securities." Trump is deepening his financial involvement in the crypto world as Washington, D.C. moves new legislation that offers the industry more favorable oversight. Trump on Friday signed into law a bill that establishes the first federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins, giving those digital assets backed by US dollars a massive stamp of approval that is expected to encourage wider adoption World Liberty Financial, a new crypto startup backed by Trump and his sons, has already launched its own US-dollar-pegged stablecoin (USD1) in partnership with BitGo. Trump Media announced its plans in May to raise $2.5 billion to create a bitcoin treasury, a strategy that has recently caught fire amongst crypto entrepreneurs. It involves using a mix of public equity and debt issuance to more rapidly acquire bitcoin. The technique was pioneered by Michal Saylor's Strategy (MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy. Starting in 2020, Saylor turned his business intelligence software firm into a bitcoin juggernaut by adding as much of the world's largest cryptocurrency to his company's balance sheet as possible. Dozens of other companies have followed suit, including some with backing from family members of white house advisors. Others are seeking to stockpile crypto assets outside of bitcoin such as ether, the second largest cryptocurrency. So far many of these efforts have proven to lead to wild stock jumps, but short sellers have plenty of skepticism over how long such a dynamic can last. The stock for the president's namesake media company has fallen 25% since it first announced plans to employ a bitcoin treasury strategy in late May. Since the beginning of the year, it is down 45%.

US stocks edge higher ahead of a busy week of profit reports
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks are edging higher ahead of a week full of profit updates from big U.S. companies, which Wall Street expects to keep growing despite pressure from President Donald Trump's tariffs. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% in early trading Monday and slightly above the all-time high it set on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 86 points, or 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite was adding 0.4% to its own record. Verizon Communications rose after reporting stronger profits and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Treasury yields eased in the bond Street was poised to open with gains Monday ahead of a busy week of corporate earnings reports. Futures for the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq were all up more than 0.2% before the bell. Markets have stabilized since spring, when President Donald Trump's tariff announcements and pullbacks sent markets swinging wildly from day-to-day and sometimes hour-to-hour. Trump pushed back the deadline for most countries to negotiate on tariffs to Aug. 1, which along with stronger-than-expected earnings reports, has helped to lift markets to record levels in recent weeks. Domino's Pizza jumped 5.2% in premarket trading Monday after posting strong same-store sales in the U.S., even though the pizza chain just missed Wall Street's sales and profit targets. Verizon climbed 4.6% after the phone and broadband giant beat analysts' sales and profit targets and raised its full-year guidance. Other companies reporting this week include General Motors, Coca-Cola, Tesla and Google parent Alphabet. This week also will bring updates on U.S. home sales, jobless claims and manufacturing. Bitcoin rose more than 1% to more than $118,500 early Monday, just off all-time highs. Trump on Friday signed into law the GENIUS Act, which sets initial guardrails and consumer protections for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency that is tied to assets like the U.S. dollar to reduce volatility. Elsewhere, in Europe at midday, Germany's DAX edged 0.1% lower, while the CAC 40 in Paris slipped 0.4%. Britain's FTSE 100 was essentially flat. Markets were closed for a holiday in Japan, where the ruling Liberal Democrats have lost their coalition majorities in both houses of parliament for the first time since 1955 following Sunday's upper house election and the loss of their lower house majority in October. A grim Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has vowed to stay on after the drubbing by voters frustrated over rising prices and political instability. Analysts said they expect his weakened government to crank up spending, adding to Japan's huge debt burden. Japan is also facing the imposition of 25% tariffs across the board on its exports to the U.S. as talks with the Trump administration appear to have made little headway. 'We expect short-term political instability to intensify due to the difficulties of forming a majority coalition, a likely change in leadership, and a potential deadlock in trade negotiations,' Peter Hoflich of BMI, a part of the Fitch Group, said in a commentary. 'Without a structural reset through snap elections, Japan is likely to face prolonged policy drift throughout 2026,' he said. Chinese shares advanced after the central bank kept its key 1-year and 5-year loan prime interest rates unchanged. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.7% to 24,994.14, while the Shanghai Composite index gained 0.7% to 3,559.79. Recent improved economic data have eased pressure on the Chinese leadership to soften credit. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's administration has softened its criticism of Beijing, raising hopes that the two sides can work out a trade deal and avert the imposition of sharply higher tariffs on imports from China. South Korea's Kospi picked up 0.7% to 3,210.81 after the government reported a slight improvement in exports in June. In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 shed 1% to 8,668.20, while Taiwan's Taiex dropped 0.2%. In India, the Sensex rose 0.3%. Bangkok's SET gained 0.2%. In other trading early Monday, U.S. benchmark crude oil reversed gains, leaving it essentially unchanged at $66.05 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, lost 8 cents to $69.20 per barrel. The U.S. dollar fell to 147.55 Japanese yen from 147.98 yen. The euro climbed to $1.1667 from $1.1629.
