A pseudonymous analyst is predicting XRP will reach $210 before the end of 2026, which would imply a market capitalization of approximately $13.26 trillion based on circulating supply and $21 trillion on a fully diluted basis. XRP currently trades below $1.35, meaning the token would need to rise roughly 16,000% to hit this target. Ripple announced several institutional developments between October 6 and October 15, including partnerships with Brevan Howard (managing approximately $35 billion in assets), Standard Chartered for RLUSD custody, and Meritz Securities for tokenization. These developments expand Ripple’s institutional footprint, but their direct connection to XRP demand remains unclear, as custody and settlement services focus on the RLUSD stablecoin rather than the XRP token itself.
