"XRP price prediction 2026 targets range from $3 to $8 among Wall Street analysts, yet the token trades near $1.90, roughly 50% below its July 2025 cycle high of $3.65. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse remains bullish on cryptos hitting all-time highs this year, but XRP ( ) hasn't followed the optimism. The disconnect between Garlinghouse's optimism and actual XRP price action comes down to post-lawsuit profit-taking, capital rotating toward Bitcoin and Ethereum, and ETF flows that haven't matched early expectations."
"Garlinghouse's Davos 2026 appearance put Ripple's CEO at the center of this year's crypto debate. Speaking on January 21, he said, "I'm very bullish. I'll go on record saying I think we'll see an all-time high," pointing to the wider market rather than any single token. The comment came during a volatile week that saw heavy liquidations across major assets, making his confidence stand out."
"Garlinghouse's prediction focused heavily on regulation. He praised the GENIUS Act, passed last summer, for clearing up oversight rules and unlocking new activity across the sector. He also highlighted the upcoming CLARITY Act, saying progress in Washington is closer than ever. While XRP was not singled out, the message was clear: policy momentum, not short-term price moves, drives Ripple's long-term outlook."
XRP currently trades around $1.90, roughly 50% below its July 18, 2025 cycle high of $3.65, while Wall Street 2026 targets range from $3 to $8. Public bullishness about broad crypto all-time highs contrasts with XRP’s muted price action. The price shortfall is attributed to post-lawsuit profit-taking, capital rotating into Bitcoin and Ethereum, and ETF flows that fell short of early expectations. Recent regulatory advances such as the GENIUS Act and the proposed CLARITY Act provide positive policy momentum. Reclaiming prior highs will likely require sustained ETF inflows, renewed capital allocation into XRP, and additional positive catalysts.
