Game Designer: XRP Could Become Best Performing Fund In History. Here’s how
Crypto expert Chad Steingraber has highlighted XRP’s potential for record performance in a recent post. Referencing the chart, he noted the trajectory of XRP’s price since late 2024 and made a bold claim: “No ETF has ever pulled a 5x in its first year of launch in all of Wall Street history.” He added, “XRP just going over $10 this year will make it the best performing fund in market history.”
XRP Price History and Chart Analysis
The chart shows XRP moving from lows near $0.48 in September 2024 to above $3 after a 500% price surge. After some sideways trading in 2025, XRP surged again, reaching a peak near $3.66 in July.
After this peak, XRP entered a consolidation phase where the price moved within a narrower range. Through late 2025, it saw a gradual decline, testing support levels around $2 while maintaining steady trading volume.
By early 2026, XRP stabilized around $1.44. The chart indicates periods of both strong bullish momentum and pauses for accumulation, highlighting XRP’s potential for substantial gains over a sustained period.

U.S. Spot XRP ETF Performance
U.S. spot XRP ETFs have played a significant role in increasing investor interest. Since their launch in November 2025, the ETFs consistently attracted inflows, quickly surpassing $1 billion in assets under management. Many funds posted streaks of daily net inflows, totaling approximately $1.3 billion by early 2026.
Even when minor outflows appeared as the market matured, total inflows remained strong. The ETF structure allowed institutional and retail investors to gain regulated exposure to XRP, reinforcing confidence. Sustained inflows indicate that U.S. investors see value in XRP through a formal investment vehicle, complementing trading activity in the broader market.
What $10 Means for XRP
XRP’s price movements during the same period have been notable but moderate relative to the ETF inflows. The asset traded in the $1.3-$1.9 range through early 2026. Despite not achieving dramatic gains immediately following ETF launches, XRP has maintained a strong base of support and remains highly liquid, reflecting steady investor confidence.
Steingraber emphasized the scale of opportunity surrounding XRP. He compared a potential move to $10 with historical ETF performance, stating that such a move would place XRP ahead of any fund that has launched on Wall Street within its first year.
He tied this outlook to the current market structure and sustained capital inflows. The presence of spot ETFs provides a regulated entry point, which can help maintain demand and reinforce the conditions needed for continued price expansion.
