Expert Predicts XRP, Ethereum, Solana Surge in 2026 Altcoin Season
Market expert Sam Daodu has analyzed the potential of XRP, Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) to lead in a possible altcoin season by 2026.
XRP, ETH, and SOL Price Forecasts
- Bitcoin's dominance is around 59%, with an Altcoin Season Index at 55, indicating a potential shift towards altcoins in 2026.
- XRP could surge to $6-$8 if ETF inflows exceed $400 million monthly and RippleNet expands.
- Ethereum might reach $12,000-$18,000 with increased Layer 2 adoption and rebounding ETF inflows.
- Solana could rise to $500-$800 if transaction speed and low fees attract new applications, coupled with rising ETF filings.
Potential Risks Ahead
- XRP may consolidate between $2.50-$3.50 with steady institutional adoption but fall below $1.50 with waning ETF demand or regulatory issues.
- Ethereum could trade between $5,000-$9,000 due to staking yields and DeFi growth but drop below $2,500 with scalability or regulatory challenges.
- Solana might trend between $200-$350, dependent on developer growth, but could fall below $100 with persistent outages or competition.
AI Model Predictions
- XRP forecasts vary: ChatGPT estimates $0.80-$3.00, while Grok suggests $1.50-$6.00.
- Ethereum predictions: ChatGPT sees $3,000-$9,000, while Gemini anticipates up to $18,000.
- Solana predictions: ChatGPT expects $120-$350, whereas Gemini foresees $300-$800 based on consumer application growth.
Current trading values: XRP at $1.93, ETH at approximately $2,952, and SOL at $128, all down about 2% over the last 24 hours.
