Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver is insisting on an extremely bullish outlook for XRP in the final days of the year.
The conversation began when XRP community member Xena tagged Claver on X, referencing talk about a bet related to XRP’s price in 2025. She clarified that she was not part of the bet but asked Claver to speak to the community about his confidence in XRP’s outlook.
Jake Claver: “99.99999% Confident”
Notably, five months ago, XRP traded at $3.66, meaning it is now down about 50%. As a result, many have written off 2025 and are now focusing on 2026 as a year of potential promise for XRP holders. Meanwhile, Claver is not backing down.
Notably, this is not the first time he has expressed such an extreme outlook on XRP.
Jake Claver Says XRP Could Still Rise 100X
Earlier this month, Claver said he still believes XRP can reach a triple-digit price. On the Good Evening Crypto podcast, host Abs pointed to developments in Japan, where a long-standing financial strategy is beginning to unwind. Trillions of dollars in borrowed money are being pulled back, which restructures the market.
Claver said this environment could strongly benefit XRP. He claimed he is “99.99999% sure” XRP can reach three digits, but only if several key catalysts occur.
These include disruptions in the oil market, stronger regulatory involvement from U.S. agencies, the growth of XRP ETFs, and global liquidity changes due to Japan’s financial shift.
Notably, XRP ETFs have already seen $1.14 billion in inflows in just one month, led by firms such as Canary Capital, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Franklin. He also noted that major companies like Vanguard, which manages $9.3 trillion in assets, are now offering XRP products, making him “super bullish” despite the year nearly ending.
XRP ETF recordsHe added that a recently filed BlackRock ETF, which has not yet named its underlying asset, could focus on XRP and serve as the main driver of a major price surge — though he acknowledged this is speculative.
Claver Already Facing Heat Over Failed Predictions
Meanwhile, as the year draws to a close with failed predictions, Claver and other XRP influencers are facing criticism on YouTube and social media. Many are accusing them of repeatedly missing short-term targets and damaging their credibility.
Claver, who previously projected XRP at $100–$1,000 by year-end, has been a major focus of this backlash. Even so, he is not backing down, despite the year ending with little hope for a major recovery in the broader crypto market.
One X user remarked:
“The only way someone could be so sure is if he has some insider information. No other way — unless God himself spoke to Jake and gave him a rundown.”

XRP Today’s News: Institutional funds return, circulating inflow of 120 million exceeds Bitcoin
This week, XRP recorded a $119.6 million capital inflow, setting the highest mark since 2025 and becoming a major beneficiary in the crypto market. This round of funds returning was mainly driven by greater clarity in regulatory policy and XRP’s real-world use in cross-border payment infrastructure. Technically, it shows an initial recovery, but overall it is still in a downward channel. The support and resistance levels are $1.31 and $1.40, respectively; if it breaks through, it is expected to reach $1.50.

XRP drops to $1.33, with $3.32 million in ETF inflows still failing to reverse the downtrend; the key support to watch is $1.28
In April 2026, the XRP price pulled back to $1.33, down about 4%. Although there was capital inflow into Ripple-related products, selling pressure dominated the market, and increased trading volume signaled distribution. Declining liquidity further heightens volatility risk; watch the $1.33 support—if it breaks, prices will likely fall further. For a short-term rebound, it needs to break above $1.35; otherwise, it should remain in a weak range-bound consolidation.

Bitcoin is hovering around the $700,000 level; if oil prices fall below $100 or push toward $80,000
Bitcoin has recently been trading in a high-level range. The price rebounded from $67,000 to $70,900, driven by a U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. Market analysis suggests that weakness in oil prices—or easing inflation pressure—may support Bitcoin’s upside. If it breaks above $72,500, it could trigger short liquidations and push the price up to $80,000. However, instability in the Middle East and a rebound in oil prices could act as a drag. Volatility in the energy market will be a key factor influencing Bitcoin’s direction.
