THE Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) on Friday launched an air-conditioned waiting room at the northbound area of Baclaran station, aiming to provide relief to commuters amid rising summer temperatures. The facility, open to all LRT-1 passengers, offers a cooled space where commuters can stay while waiting for incoming trains, particularly during peak heat hours. LRMC president and chief executive officer Enrico Benipayo said the project forms part of the company’s efforts to improve daily travel conditions for passengers. “Our goal is to constantly find ways to make the daily journey better for our passengers. This new air-conditioned space is a simple yet significant way to provide additional comfort, especially during these hot summer months,” Benipayo said. The waiting area was developed through a partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries – Mahajak Air Conditioners Co. Ltd., which supplied the cooling systems installed at the station. LRMC said priority use of the facility will be given to senior citizens, pregnant women, and persons with special needs, in line with efforts to make station amenities more inclusive. Passengers were also advised to use the waiting room only during train intervals and proceed to the boarding area once their train arrives, to allow others to access the space.

A $30 trillion market cap. That’s the math behind the boldest XRP price call making rounds in the crypto community this week — and it’s the figure drawing the most fire. Related Reading: A New Phase For XRP? Integrations Keep Rolling In Across The Ecosystem AI Tool, Not Personal Forecast The projection comes from Vincent Van Code, a software engineer active in the XRP community, who published his findings on X. He was careful to frame it as an AI-generated outcome, not his own personal prediction. Van Code used large language model tools (LLM), including Grok, feeding them multiple variables over repeated sessions to simulate how XRP might grow over the next decade. The result: a price range of $400 to $650 or higher by 2035, with $500 as the headline figure. He urged readers to approach the numbers with caution and reminded them it was not financial advice. The study factors in a wide range of conditions — US crypto regulation, Ripple’s payment network expansion, artificial intelligence integration into finance, neobank adoption, and XRP’s potential role as a bridge currency in cross-border transactions. 🚨 XRP price could hit $500+ by 2035. This is not clickbait... you know me better than that. By the way, for the 1000s of you who always ask me for my price predictions, this is the closest you will ever get out of me (by the way its not my predictions!) I have been running a... pic.twitter.com/eALl5zgdfr — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) April 22, 2026 Quantum-resistant upgrades to the XRP Ledger, expected around 2028, are also baked into the model. Van Code described Ripple’s broader strategy as a system designed to reshape how money moves globally. Year-By-Year Targets Paint A Steep Climb The model doesn’t jump straight to $500. It maps out a gradual rise starting with a projected range of $6 to $10 in 2026, driven by early regulatory wins and growing institutional use. By 2029, deeper liquidity and closer ties with traditional financial systems — including SWIFT — could push prices into the $60 to $120 range, according to the projections. The 2030s are where the numbers get dramatic. Reports indicate the model sees XRP woven into treasury operations, tokenized assets, and central bank digital currency frameworks, with prices climbing from $100 to $200 in 2030 before potentially hitting $400 to $650 or beyond by 2035. At that stage, the analysis envisions XRP handling tens of trillions of dollars in annual on-chain volume, with institutional depth keeping volatility in check. Community Response Is Divided Not everyone is buying it. Critics have zeroed in on the market cap problem. At $500 per token, XRP’s total market cap would exceed $30 trillion — a number larger than the entire US economy.

Others in the XRP community see the scenario as plausible — if every assumption holds. That’s a big if. The model requires favorable legislation like the CLARITY Act to pass, Ripple to keep expanding globally, and AI-driven financial systems to mature at pace. XRP was trading around $1.41 at the time Van Code published his findings, having recently touched $1.50. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
