Speculation that the United States federal government could begin purchasing XRP has resurfaced online, this time paired with an aggressive price target and the promotion of a separate token built on the XRP Ledger. The circulating material asserts the claim, but it contains no confirmed buying programme, no funding allocation, and no official announcement to substantiate it.

Federal XRP Purchase Claim Lacks Supporting Evidence

A widely shared headline asserts that US federal reserves are set to buy XRP under President Donald Trump. The accompanying image shows Trump alongside Ripple branding, yet no supporting announcement has been issued. The material specifies no purchase amount, no funding source, and no acquisition schedule.

The claim has been circulated by an account operating under the name KingXRP, which pairs it with a prediction of $10,000 for each XRP. That post sets October 31, 2026 as the date for the target. However, nothing published indicates that a government purchase is definitely planned.

The speculation draws on Trump's March 2025 reserve announcement, which named XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano. The subsequent framework distinguished Bitcoin's strategic reserve from a separate digital asset stockpile. That distinction matters when assessing potential demand from government holdings: retaining assets acquired through seizures differs from buying tokens on the open market. Under the framework as announced, the stockpile was intended to hold assets obtained through government forfeiture rather than acquisitions made with public funds. Evidence of authorised funding and a formal purchasing policy would be needed to establish whether new demand actually exists.

$10,000 Target Implies Extraordinary Valuation

The proposed target represents a steep departure from XRP's recent trading range. At the reference price of approximately $1.30 cited in the material, reaching $10,000 would require a gain exceeding 769,000%. The post provides no financial model explaining how that increase could occur, and no mechanism is described.

Circulating supply offers another measure of the forecast's scale. With approximately 63.35 billion XRP in circulation, a $10,000 valuation would imply a total market value of roughly $633.5 trillion. That calculation excludes tokens outside circulation and does not represent the capital required to reach such a valuation. The implied figure far exceeds the scale of established financial markets — it is several times the combined value of all publicly traded equities worldwide — and reaching it would require assumptions extending well beyond an ordinary market rally.

The material offers no evidence connecting the target to expected purchases or measurable demand. October 31 functions as a forecast deadline rather than a confirmed market milestone. XRP traded at approximately $1.30 at the time of writing, a comparator that illustrates the distance involved. No disclosed timetable or acquisition details support the proposed outcome.

REAL Token Promotion Adds a Separate Price Claim

The same post predicts that REAL Token could rise from $0.0002 to above $968.21, and it also refers to a potential market opportunity exceeding $650 trillion. The figures come with no explanation of the valuation method, and no supply or liquidity data is provided. Per-token price targets cannot be meaningfully evaluated without supply data, since supply determines the market value any given price implies.

The promotion directs readers to MEXC and a decentralised exchange on the XRP Ledger. These links point only to trading venues and do not validate the projected price; an exchange listing does not confirm demand or adequate market liquidity. Assessing the forecast would require the token's supply, liquidity data, details of the project's utility, and the valuation assumptions behind the target—none of which the post supplies.

The relationship between REAL Token and the federal XRP claim also remains unclear. Both appear in the same promotion, but no evidence indicates that one depends on the other, and the claims should not be treated as a single investment case.

An official government policy statement would give XRP a firmer foundation for analyzing potential federal demand. Any information on funding, acquisition strategies, or asset eligibility would help clarify the proposal. As it stands, the $10,000 goal remains a forecast, not a fact.
