Archie went further, suggesting the token could eventually reach four figures \u2014 meaning $1,000 or more per coin.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Good morning XRP fam <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/2600.png\" alt=\"\u2600\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Prediction<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f6a8.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udea8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/2b07.png\" alt=\"\u2b07\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/><\/p>\n<p>XRP will make a lot of people rich in 2026<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1fa96.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\ude96\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f49c.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc9c\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mat4QMtWjN\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/mat4QMtWjN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Archie <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f451.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc51\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> (@Archie_XRPL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Archie_XRPL\/status\/2026213929823727620?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 24, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-883753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/a_57d777.png?resize=1024%2C585\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The post drew mixed reactions.
