Ripple price below $3 might still look like a steal, and according to Cheeky Crypto, things could be just getting started. The Cheeky Crypto channel, which has over 180 thousand followers on X, recently broke down why the XRP price could eventually spike as high as $22. His case centers around XRP’s historical dominance in the crypto market and how its current market share tells a very different story than its 2018 rally.
Back in 2018, XRP hit a high of $3.84 and held around 31% of the total crypto market cap. Now, even with the Ripple price sitting around $2.65, XRP’s dominance is just 5%. That’s like trying to feed the same pizza to six times more people.
The speaker compared the situation to a tweet from @DK64Trades, which suggested that if XRP ever regains that kind of dominance, the price could surge to around $17.80, even under conservative estimates.
Dominance Math and XRP Price Predictions
The video explored more than just past performance. Cheeky Crypto pointed to data from Cyine that projects XRP dominance could realistically return to a range between 12% and 32%. He then mapped out the numbers in a very practical way. If dominance hits 20%, a $1,000 XRP investment today could grow to between $7,000 and $8,000. That’s without any extra capital. It’s not hype, it’s just how dominance influences price.
Even more extreme predictions were mentioned, like the ones from a figure known as Captain Toblau, who thinks the total crypto market could grow to $35 trillion. If XRP controls just 3.5% of that pie, the XRP price could hit $22.
But there are warnings too. Timing an altcoin season is tricky. Market dominance metrics often lag behind price action. That’s why Cheeky Crypto leans into dollar-cost averaging. He also said he’s buying pullbacks and has set sell targets at $8, $12, and $20. It’s all about managing risk. He openly admitted he’s not emotionally attached to XRP, just to the trade setup and numbers.
XRP Price and Investor Psychology
The Cheeky Crypto host also took time to address the usual doubts. Some argue that regulators or banks might not allow XRP to soar. But to him, price dominance is less about regulation and more about investor psychology. He compared Bitcoin to the headline act at a music festival, while XRP was the surprise favorite in 2018. Now, it’s been sidelined, but not forgotten.

He wrapped things up by suggesting that even a modest recovery in XRP dominance could push the price to double digits. A midrange case with 15% dominance and a total crypto market of $3.3 trillion would imply a Ripple price of around $9. At 30% dominance, that number jumps to about $18. And with Toblau’s $35 trillion scenario, the XRP price could break $30.
His sticky note conclusion was simple: “Dominance equals potential energy.” If XRP reclaims even half of its 2018 dominance, $22 no longer looks far-fetched.
