XRP's 2026: What's the Hold-Up?
Crypto experts are saying XRP might just chill in its current price range for a while. They think it won't really take off until something big happens to push it up.
Market Uncertainty
One analyst, Jake Kennis, thinks the market is a bit shaky right now. He's not ready to guess where XRP will be by the end of 2026. But he does see a few things that could give XRP a boost:
- Regulators approve more ETFs
- XRP becomes more popular in global payments
Sentiment Over Technology
Another expert, Jesus Perez, agrees that XRP might not make a big move soon. He thinks XRP's price will mostly depend on:
- What people are saying about it
- How they feel about it
Not necessarily on big changes in the technology.
Current Performance
XRP has been down about 15% since the start of the year. But there's some good news too:
- XRP ETFs in the US just hit over $1 billion in assets
- This shows people are interested in XRP
Mixed Outlook for 2026
But not everyone is super optimistic. Some think Bitcoin's current situation might hold back the whole crypto market. So, it might be a mixed bag for 2026.
