XRP is expected to see a price boost in 2026 due to various factors, including Ripple’s promotion of capabilities acquired in 2025 and increasing traction. The price target prediction of $3 is based on XRP hitting an all-time high of $3.65 in 2025 and potential growth in smart contract activity on the XRP Ledger’s sidechain. Ripple’s strategy with institutional investors and acquisitions of businesses providing crypto-financial services also play a role in XRP’s potential price increase. Additionally, digital asset treasury companies may contribute to a rise in XRP demand. However, the process is expected to be gradual and may not happen overnight. Investors should consider the long-term journey ahead before buying XRP.
