Crypto trader DonAlt, known for his accurate prediction of XRP's sharp rise in 2024, admitted that luck played a role in this trade, although he had forecasted it in advance.
DonAlt's Predictions and Achievements
In late 2024, DonAlt outlined a scenario where XRP could surge by 700%, with a long-term target of $6.90. At the time, this prediction seemed unlikely as the token was trading below $1 and faced legal challenges. However, by July 2025, XRP had already reached $3.666, almost perfectly aligning with the upper end of his projected range.
The Trader's Humility and Recent Remarks
Despite his success, DonAlt downplayed his achievement. In a recent post on X, he described himself as "entirely washed" and claimed he just got lucky with XRP. > IDK I'm entirely washed and got giga lucky with XRP I'm not the best person to ask.
Future Prospects for XRP and Market Analysis
Nevertheless, the trader has not ruled out hitting $6.90, affirming that his original target remains active. He has stepped back from making active calls, citing the unclear structure of the current market. His critique of AVAX—calling it underperforming compared to SOL—also reflects broader skepticism surrounding underperforming L1s.
Despite attributing his success to luck, DonAlt’s understanding of market sentiment, timing, and structure allowed him to identify one of the year's most dramatic breakouts, providing a solid foundation for XRP's future growth.
