$XRP, one of the altcoins that benefited most from Donald Trump’s presidential victory in November 2024, rose to $3.65 in 2025.
$XRP, which has been unable to break free from its downward trend since its all-time high in July, is currently trading below $2.
While hopes for growth continue for 2026, growth forecasts remain limited.
Accordingly, US-based asset management company 21Shares announced in its latest report that it has set a target price of $2.45 for $XRP in 2026.
In its report titled “$XRP Outlook for 2026,” 21Shares set its base price target at $2.45.
However, analysts noted that in an optimistic scenario, if factors such as reduced supply and expansion of the institutional and RWA markets come together, $XRP could rise to $2.69 this year.
Analysts noted that 55 consecutive days of net inflows into $XRP ETFs and the eventual resolution of the SEC case have eliminated legal uncertainty and allowed $XRP to enter a market-driven price determination phase.
In conclusion, 21Shares analysts stated that factors such as sustained ETF demand, increasing institutional adoption, low exchange supply, and Ripple’s growth in the payment and stablecoin ecosystem could trigger an upward movement in $XRP.
However, analysts warned that in the absence of a measurable, tangible benefit, a shift in market sentiment, a slowdown in ETF inflows, and a lack of widespread adoption by the banking sector, $XRP could face a potential news sell-off scenario.
