The post Ripple Price Prediction – How Much Could 1,000 XRP Be Worth in 2026? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Despite recent selling pressure from Ripple’s co-founder, Chris Larsen, and a 20% drop in XRP’s price this month, the token remains trading above $3, signaling strong resilience in the market. Investor sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, especially with the anticipation surrounding XRP ETF filings and the rising demand for Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD. 

Currently, Larsen has offloaded over 100 million XRP tokens worth around $200 million, but still retains nearly 2.58 billion XRP. His large-scale sales have sparked concerns, yet analysts believe XRP is still well-positioned due to growing institutional interest and utility-focused fundamentals.

Altcoin Daily Sees XRP’s Massive Utility Growth

In a recent video titled “What 1,000 XRP Coins Will Be Worth in 2026,” Altcoin Daily broke down why they believe XRP is among the top contenders for long-term crypto success. They didn’t provide a hard prediction but emphasized XRP’s unmatched utility in global finance. The analyst highlights how XRP enables near-instant global settlements for less than a penny, giving it a clear edge over other tokens. The sentiment is that XRP is no longer being ignored by institutions, with 11 firms managing over $ 240 billion in assets filing with the SEC for an XRP ETF.

RLUSD Stablecoin Strengthens XRP’s Position

Another major bullish factor is Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD, which has seen explosive growth, rising over 600% in just six months to surpass a $500 million market cap. Though 83% of its usage is currently on Ethereum, its existence benefits XRP directly. That’s because RLUSD trading on the XRPL DEX uses XRP as a bridge asset via auto-bridging.

Moreover, this process burns XRP with each transaction, reducing the supply and increasing value over time. The more RLUSD grows and transitions to XRPL, the more beneficial it becomes for XRP holders.

From Doubters to Believers

While the analysts were skeptical about XRP in the past, especially during its legal battle with the SEC, they have changed their tune following Ripple’s legal wins and strategic growth. They now acknowledge XRP’s real-world utility and institutional alignment. Assuming Bitcoin hits $150K, they estimate XRP could climb to $5–$9 by 2026. That would make 1,000 XRP tokens worth anywhere between $5,000 and $9,000, depending on broader market conditions.
