"XRP ( CRYPTO: XRP) continues to trade around the mid-$2 range after a momentous year that saw the coin surge to over $3.30 following the August 2025 SEC ruling. This places XRP among the top five cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with approximately a 4% share of the overall market. Now investors wonder how high (or low) XRP could go by 2026. Recent analyst forecasts span a wide range, from cautious mid-single-digit targets to ultra-bullish double-digit scenarios, reflecting both the optimism and uncertainties surrounding Ripple's token."
"Some forecasts suggest XRP could reclaim and even surpass its multi-year highs if momentum continues. For instance, XRP 'could hit $5 by mid-2026 if spot ETF approvals materialize, boosting institutional inflows,' though much of that optimism is already reflected in today's price. In a best-case scenario with wider bank adoption and favorable U.S. regulation, some analysts see potential for XRP to approach the high single digits by 2026, with long-term targets above $10 later in the decade for Ripple's network."
