Claude AI suggests XRP could rise to $44 on January 1, 2027 if a completely hypothetical “Operation Meridian” scenario led to the XRP Ledger being selected for cross-border central bank settlements. The scenario also includes the US Treasury secretly accumulating XRP and three major custodians adopting XRP-denominated settlements, although the article acknowledges that such secret coordination is extremely unlikely. XRP, trading at $1.28, has been consolidating between $1 and the mid-$1s, with a breakout above the range and the 200-day moving average cited as potential bullish triggers. At roughly 60 billion XRP in circulation, a price of $44 would imply a market capitalization of about $2.5 trillion, nearly 40 times the price cited in the article. The piece also promotes the Bitcoin Hyper presale, which has reportedly raised more than $33.2 million and offers participants a stated annual staking yield of 30%.
