Standard Chartered Foresees XRP Climbing To $8 By End Of 2026 On ETF Demand
Standard Chartered's digital assets research head Geoff Kendrick projects that XRP could reach $8 by the end of 2026, implying roughly a 330% gain from current levels and a new high above its prior $3.84 peak. The outlook is tied to clearer US regulation, growing institutional access via XRP ETFs with about $1.27 billion in assets, and Ripple's expanding payment network. Analysts also highlight tightening on-chain supply and a potential technical breakout around the $1.88 level, with XRP recently trading near $1.86.
