The $10,000 XRP price target has circulated widely across social media, but Crypto commentator BullRunners is questioning the origin of the figure and the credibility of the claims surrounding it.
In a recent video, BullRunners examined the origin of the prediction and said it did not originate from major financial institutions, research firms, or official filings.
According to BullRunners, the $10,000 figure emerged from social media accounts rather than established financial sources. He specifically mentioned accounts including Barry C., Zena, Remy, Ripple Queen, Crypto Aikido, and Jay Claver as contributors to the circulation of the prediction.
BullRunners said the claim later received a significant boost from Brandon Biggs, whom he described as a self-described Christian prophet. According to the commentator, Biggs went viral after claiming that he had received a divine revelation that XRP would reach $10,000.
The video focused heavily on separating the prediction’s religious basis from conventional financial analysis. BullRunners acknowledged that he is a believer himself, but questioned the use of religion to persuade people that XRP will reach a specific price.
BullRunners also pointed out that the predictions have not remained at $10,000. He said some versions of the XRP price forecast have increased to $35,000, while others predict $100,000 per XRP.
The commentator presented these figures as examples of how price predictions can expand as they circulate through online communities. He emphasized that the original $10,000 claim did not come from Standard Chartered, Bitwise, a major bank, an institutional trading desk, or a regulatory filing.
Instead, BullRunners said the figure gained traction through social media accounts and was later amplified by the viral prophecy claim.
The central point of BullRunners’ video was the distinction between a price target supported by financial research and one based on personal belief or prophecy. He did not present evidence that XRP could not reach $10,000, $35,000, or even $100,000. Rather, he questioned the source of those numbers and the reasoning used to support them.
His comments therefore place the $10,000 prediction in a different category from price targets issued through institutional research, market analysis, or financial filings. For investors following XRP, the distinction matters because the origin of a price forecast can determine how its credibility should be evaluated.
BullRunners ultimately challenged viewers to look beyond the headline figures and examine the origin of the predictions. His account suggests that the $10,000 XRP prophecy originated from social media circulation and a religious revelation rather than through an official forecast from a major financial institution.
