Over the last few months, there have been a number of XRP price predictions that have taken the crypto market by surprise. While some of these have looked to be attainable, others have carried price ranges that seem impossible for the current vantage point. A s a result of community members questioning what Ripple can do about these predictions, Ripple CTO David Schwartz has come forward to explain why the company is not debunking the predictions. Ripple CTO Says It’s Hard An X (formerly Twitter) user drew the attention of the Ripple CTO toward the numerous XRP price predictions that have been making the rounds on social media.

Smaller price predictions have also included a predicted run to $130 by pseudonymous crypto analyst XRP Captain. However, the appearance of a death cross in the price trend over the last few days suggests none of these predictions would be happening anytime soon.
