Here’s How Staking Could Send XRP to Double Digits
XRP could see substantial price growth if a significant portion of its circulating supply becomes illiquid. Crypto expert and commentator Amonyx (@amonyx) noted that with 30% of XRP removed from the liquid market, prices could reach $7.50 to $11.00.
These numbers rely on the liquidity premiums concept rather than historical averages, reflecting how constrained supply can affect market pricing.
$7.50 Target and Supply Constraints
At the time of Amonyx’s analysis, XRP traded at $1.28. At the lower end, $7.50 represents approximately a sixfold increase from that price. Historical market cycles show that supply shocks, such as Bitcoin halvings, have triggered substantial price moves even when larger liquid supplies remained.
In XRP’s case, removing 18.33 billion tokens establishes a scarcity dynamic that can elevate market pricing ahead of utility adoption. This approach treats the reduced supply as a structural driver, allowing the market to price in liquidity constraints independently of immediate usage.
If 30% of the circulating $XRP supply gets staked, price targets around $7.5 – $11 are possible. But what happens if 50%… or even 70% gets locked?

$11 Target and Liquidity Crunch
The upper target of $11 corresponds to what analysts describe as the “Liquidity Crunch” peak. If demand for XRP, particularly for cross-border settlements, remains steady or grows while available liquid supply drops, prices could face minimal resistance.
At this point, the market would react more aggressively to the limited supply, potentially pushing XRP toward its projected peak.
In practical terms, higher adoption in financial transactions amplifies the effect of a constrained supply, making each unit of XRP more sought after.
Higher Supply Lock Scenarios
These scenarios become more pronounced if staking or long-term locking exceeds 30%. If 50% or even 70% of circulating XRP is removed from active trading, the price range could expand significantly. The combination of persistent demand for settlement liquidity and a sharply reduced market float creates conditions for exponential valuation adjustments.

The effect of locking such a high percentage of XRP could push prices well above previous predictions. However, this will only happen if demand is sustained or increases.
Looking Ahead
Overall, XRP’s market structure shows a direct correlation between illiquid supply and valuation potential. The current projections, based on 30% supply removal, indicate $7.50 to $11.00 is possible. Staking is now available to the XRP army. As more tokens are locked up, XRP could experience a notable increase.
Expanding that removal rate could further accelerate growth, emphasizing how liquidity premiums can dominate price formation in high-conviction scenarios.
