XRP Could Exceed $8 with Four Key Catalysts in Early 2026

Recent analyses and developments suggest a positive outlook for XRP, with potential significant growth projected by Standard Chartered.

Standard Chartered forecasts XRP reaching up to $8, driven by key catalysts identified by market analyst Sam Daodu.
The imminent passage of the CLARITY Act could enhance institutional participation in XRP.
Ripple's conditional approval to launch Ripple National Trust Bank may bolster market confidence.
Seven spot XRP ETFs in the US manage over $2 billion in assets, locking 777 million XRP tokens.
The RLUSD stablecoin's market cap stands at $1.33 billion, potentially increasing activity on the XRP Ledger.
The GENIUS Act provides regulatory clarity for stablecoins, facilitating cross-border expansion.

Bullish Scenario for XRP

Daodu predicts XRP prices could reach between $8 and $10, contingent on sustained institutional demand and ETF inflows.
If ETF inflows maintain a monthly rate of $300-$500 million, an additional 750 million to 1.25 billion XRP might be locked by mid-year.
Current trading price is $2.13, marking a 3.7% increase.
