🚀 Another XRP Record Ahead? Ripple CEO Forecasts 2026 Crypto Boom
Despite the early 2026 market turbulence, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is doubling down on his optimism. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Garlinghouse went on record predicting that 2026 will be the "all-time best performing year" for the crypto market.
While
$XRP has faced a recent dip—trading around $1.88 after a high of $2.40 earlier this month—the Ripple chief believes the stage is set for a massive breakout.
🔑 Why the Bullish Outlook?
Garlinghouse highlighted three "sea change" factors that he believes the market hasn't fully priced in yet:
The GENIUS Act & Regulatory Clarity: The passage of the GENIUS Act in 2025 and the pending CLARITY Act are finally providing the legal guardrails that big banks have been waiting for.
Institutional "Unlock": Major financial institutions are no longer just watching from the sidelines; they are actively integrating the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for cross-border payments.
Stablecoin Evolution: With clearer rules, Garlinghouse expects stablecoins to revolutionize everyday finance, like payroll and global settlements, as early as this year.
📈 What’s Next for XRP?
Analysts are already buzzing about the "Davos Effect." While some technical charts point to short-term resistance at the $2.05 level, long-term forecasts are becoming increasingly bold:
Short-term: Traders are eyeing a recovery toward $3.13 by February.
Long-term: Some analysts at Davos are projecting
$XRP could hit targets as high as $8.00 by the end of 2026 if institutional adoption continues at its current pace.
"In five or 10 years, you’ll witness steady improvement... we are as close as we have ever been." — Brad Garlinghouse
