$XRP
As of January 2026, XRP has transformed into an institutional settlement powerhouse following a historic rally that saw it outpace both Bitcoin and Ethereum, surging 25% in the first week of the year to a peak of $2.41. This breakout is heavily driven by over $1.37 billion in cumulative inflows into newly launched spot XRP ETFs, which have recorded an unprecedented 53-day streak of net inflows without a single day of selling. While the price is currently consolidating near $2.10, the outlook remains bullish due to the conclusion of major legal hurdles in the US, the passage of the "Clarity Act," and Ripple's expansion into the UK market.
Technical analysts view the $1.85 - $2.00 range as critical support, while long-term institutional price targets for 2026 range from a base case of $3.90 to an aggressive "super cycle" peak of $8.00, assuming continued supply tightness from ETF accumulation and the growing utility of the XRP Ledger's EVM sidechain.
