Ripple’s XRP passed $3 in January 2025 and reached $3.65 in July. It then fell more than 43% from that July high but could reach $5 in 2026.
XRP dropped to about $1.8 in December 2025 and rallied briefly this month. According to CoinGecko’s XRP data, the token gained about 8% over 14 days and 1.1% for the month while losing 1.6% in the last 24 hours.
Late in 2025 several ETFs launched, and analysts say inflows from those products could lift prices. Telegaon analysts project a potential maximum price near $5.18 in 2026, implying roughly a 153% rise.
CNBC named the token its hottest crypto trade of 2026, adding to bullish views. Macroeconomic uncertainty and strong gold demand may delay any sustained rally (Ed. note: Gold reached about $4,600 per ounce).
