On November 22, the price of Ripple (XRP) broke through 1.4 USDT, with a 24-hour increase of as high as 27%. Interestingly, many Ripple supporters on social media have been reposting a video by a priest named "Brandon Biggs" about the future price prediction of XRP.
In July this year, Brandon Biggs had predicted that the price of XRP might break through $10,000 in the future. It may sound like a fairy tale, but the market reacted enthusiastically on the day the statement was released, and the trading volume of XRP also surged rapidly, with a single-day price increase of up to 8%.
Interestingly, Odaily Planet Daily's search found that the priest had also predicted in March this year that Trump would be assassinated, but the bullet would only hit his right ear. This is largely similar to the scenario of Trump being attacked in Pennsylvania in July, which seems to verify the "prophecy" and also adds a layer of mystery to the prediction of Ripple and the price of XRP.
Background of the Priest: Accurately Predicted Major Events in the Future, Why Does He Love XRP?
The priest's name is Brandon Biggs, and he is not an ordinary religious figure, but has become famous worldwide for accurately predicting major events in the political and economic fields on multiple occasions. He has also frequently appeared on social media, currently with 414,000 YouTube followers.
Biggs' most famous prediction is that Trump would be assassinated, and he accurately described the details of this event.
On March 15, 2024, Father Biggs mentioned in a video that through God's revelation, he had seen the scene of Trump being assassinated. He described, "I saw Trump stand up, and then I saw someone trying to take his life. This bullet flew past his ear, so close to his head that it ruptured his eardrum." At the time, Biggs was touching his right ear while describing this scene, and coincidentally, Trump was shot in the right ear and bled in the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania in July 2024. Biggs continued to describe how Trump escaped this assassination, "kneeling on the ground and worshiping the Lord, and experiencing a complete rebirth." (Note: Market analysis believes that Trump successfully avoided the bullet because he was swaying his head while speaking.)
Subsequently, Biggs' predictions have gained the support and attention of some believers, especially after he accurately predicted several important moments in Trump's fate - he also predicted that Trump would win the second presidential election, which has now been verified.
In addition to predicting political events, Biggs has also started to turn to the crypto industry, especially favoring Ripple (XRP). He firmly believes that Ripple will dominate the cross-border payment market in the future, and the price of XRP will rise to unprecedented heights due to its widespread application.
On July 1, 2024, Biggs mentioned in an updated video, "God told him that the camel would come, and the transfer of wealth would soon happen, and all this would happen suddenly and quickly." He hinted that XRP would play a key role in this "wealth transfer", "I have repeatedly seen XRP in inspiration, and feel that something is about to happen, but it may take up to two years."
Finally, Biggs claimed that the future value of XRP may reach $10,000, and even compared its growth potential to FAANG (tech giants) stocks.
After the release of Biggs' prediction video, Ripple seems to have truly been "protected", and the regulatory obstacles it has encountered have all been overcome. In August this year, the US SEC ordered Ripple to pay a $2 billion fine, but the judge ruled that the fine was too high and reduced it by 94%.

Although this case has not yet reached a final result and is expected to continue until 2025, the United States is about to welcome the "crypto patriarch" Trump leading the Republican administration, and with his previous campaign promises, Ripple is believed to face much less regulatory obstacles going forward.
Gary Gensler, who has been leading the SEC's confrontation with Ripple, posted on the X platform today that he will resign on January 20, 2025. It seems that after Biggs' prophecy, Ripple's development has taken the "fast lane".
Rational Outlook on Predictions, Perhaps He is a Major XRP Holder
Biggs' predictions are filled with uncertainty, and most people still remain cautious about his $10,000 target price. Achieving this target would require XRP's market capitalization to reach nearly $1 trillion, an increase of 20,000 times. This not only requires Ripple to monopolize the global payment market, but also requires tremendous support from the global economic and technological infrastructure.
Supporters believe that Biggs' predictions may be "God's revelation"; while skeptics believe that this is just a coincidence or market hype, and Biggs himself is a major XRP holder. But in any case, Biggs' remarks have indeed brought more attention to XRP.
Ripple's development prospects largely depend on the outcome of its game with regulators, market acceptance, and the actual application of its technology in the payment field. For investors, the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market still needs to be treated with caution.
