Analyst Outlines Five Major Catalysts That Could Lift XRP Price To $5 By 2026

XRP, the fifth largest crypto asset by market capitalization, has slipped below $2 during a broader correction, yet analyst Sam Daodu argues five key drivers could push it to $5 by 2026. His outlook hinges on strong spot XRP ETF inflows, expanding use of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin in Japan, growing tokenization on the XRP Ledger, supportive Federal Reserve rate policy, and reduced exchange balances. XRP recently traded near $1.88, almost 50% under its July all‑time high.
