The XRP price has spent months navigating bearish pressure. Bold price targets once dominated predictions, especially around the long-anticipated launch of spot XRP ETFs. As those products went live, the asset’s action failed to match the most aggressive forecasts. That gap has prompted a sharp critique from crypto commentator Levi Rietveld. Rietveld revisited a prior prediction made by Jake Claver and measured it against what actually happened. Jake Claver's $XRP ETF Prediction $20 In TWO WEEKS? pic.twitter.com/FWh4rjlFqF — Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviRietveld) December 13, 2025 XRP ETF-Driven Price Forecast In the video, Claver laid out a bullish case for XRP tied directly to ETF launches. He said a price between $10 and $13 would be very reasonable. He went further and added that $20 to $25 was also possible by the end of the year. He clarified that those levels assumed ETF-driven liquidity alone. He also said other factors could push XRP higher beyond that range. His message was that ETF launches would bring massive capital inflows and XRP would respond quickly. Claver framed the ETFs as a primary catalyst. At the time, XRP traded near $2, making the projection aggressive. What Happened After XRP ETFs Went Live? Rietveld then grounded the discussion in current market conditions. XRP did not surge following the ETF launches . Its price has remained near $2 despite the launch of multiple products . The expected wave of liquidity failed to impact XRP’s trajectory, as it struggled to defend the $2 level. Rietveld addressed this gap directly. He said, “XRP is just $2 per coin.” He added, “Yes, we have had all of the ETFs launched.” From his perspective, the forecast missed it by a wide margin. He described the prediction as “completely wrong.” We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Questioning Long-Term XRP Targets Rietveld did not stop at the short-term miss. He pushed the critique further by questioning Claver’s longer-term targets. He asked how much confidence investors should place in projections of $100 or even $10,000 per XRP by 2026 when near-term calls failed under clear conditions. Rietveld has previously criticized Claver for his exorbitant XRP predictions . With only two weeks left in 2025, his prediction has certainly failed. For XRP holders, the episode serves as a reminder to analyze predictions. Henceforth, predictions tied to single events will now face closer scrutiny than before.
