According to the source, the claim that XRP is targeting $3.45 cannot be validated without a primary citation from Ripple or CEO Brad Garlinghouse; please provide the original CEO statement (e.g., official X post) or a Ripple newsroom release to confirm the catalyst. For trading context, XRP’s prior all-time high was approximately $3.84 on January 4, 2018, which frames $3.45 as near-cycle resistance for any breakout thesis (source: CoinMarketCap historical price data). Without a verifiable primary catalyst, traders should treat the $3.45 figure as unconfirmed and rely on validated disclosures and on-chain or market data before positioning (source: CoinMarketCap for historical reference).
