XRP Price Prediction: Can Ripple Reach $3 in 2026?

XRP traded at $1.02 today. At that level, the token was approximately -70% below its 2025 peak near $3.50.

A return to $3 in 2026 for Ripple would therefore depend on a recovery in price momentum as well as the institutional and regulatory factors that underpin the more bullish forecasts.

Worryingly, the past three sessions have seen no inflows or outflows into Ripple ETFs, potentially signaling a dwindling institutional interest in the asset. The same snapshot placed XRP’s market capitalization at $64Bn and reported 24-hour trading volume of $1.2Bn.

XRP had declined from late-November highs near $2.20 to longstanding support at the $1 level, while a pattern of lower highs describes a bearish short-term structure. ALTCOIN: $XRP just broke $1. ETF inflows: ZERO. $8.45M longs liquidated. Network activity down 44%.
