Jake Claver has drawn significant attention across the XRP community with another post. The Digital Ascension Group CEO and crypto commentator wrote that “major institutions are accumulating XRP without saying much about it publicly.” He added that if XRP becomes “core infrastructure for international finance, the current price won’t look like much in hindsight.”
A Record That Invites Scrutiny
Claver’s credibility on XRP is contested. Throughout 2025, he predicted XRP would reach $100 by year-end. XRP closed 2025 at approximately $1.87, making his target roughly 98% off.
Despite missing that call, Claver defended his position. He argued that timelines always get extended and pointed to Ripple’s long history as evidence that large financial systems take time to build.
He did not retract his thesis. Instead, he doubled down. In 2026, Claver issued a $750 price target for XRP, citing comments from Ripple President Monica Long about full-scale institutional adoption arriving this year. He has also projected XRP to reach $1,500 to $2,000 by the end of 2026, and stated a long-term target of $1 million per token contingent on global financial transformation.
Reaction to his August 5 post was divided. One commenter was direct in his dissatisfaction, stating, “Your opinion has been wrong repeatedly so it doesn’t mean much.”
Another commenter shared a deeply personal response. She described over nine years of sacrifice based on XRP’s potential, including moving out of New York and encouraging loved ones to invest. She expressed exhaustion with the ongoing wait.
Another community member shared a screenshot of XRP’s current price of $1.075 and responded with visible frustration. One user pointed back to Claver’s failed 2025 prediction, reminding him of his $1,000 target for December of that year.
However, some remained bullish. One commenter suggested Claver should have used “when” rather than “if” when referring to XRP becoming core infrastructure. Others expressed growing concern about that same conditional language.
The Case for Something Larger
Claver’s core argument has remained consistent. He believes institutions are building positions before any public confirmation arrives. Ripple’s reported 1,700 non-disclosure agreements with banks, governments, and Fortune 500 companies support the possibility that significant activity is happening out of public view.
If even a portion of those agreements translate into active XRP usage, the demand picture shifts considerably. The price has not reflected that yet. Claver believes it will.
