ChatGPT outlines XRP 2026 peak scenario with price targets up to $8.50

An artificial intelligence model, ChatGPT, has outlined a possible new all‑time high for XRP in 2026, pointing to a base‑case peak near $6.20 and an upside scenario briefly reaching $8.50. The projection comes as XRP trades around $1.88, below the key $2 level, after dropping over 2.6% in 24 hours and about 1.6% over the week. Using historical market cycles and XRP's prior top near $3.84, the model suggests that large‑cap coins surviving multiple cycles often realize 1.5 to 2.5 times their previous highs, placing XRP's potential range between roughly $5.75 and $9.60.
