March 9 News, Anthropic’s large language model Claude shared a prediction for XRP’s price by the end of 2026. Data shows that since the beginning of this year, XRP has fallen approximately 26.61%, marking the largest annual decline since the 2022 bear market. Currently, XRP is trading at $1.35, and market sentiment remains cautious.
Claude pointed out that Bitcoin’s performance and macroeconomic trends are key factors influencing XRP’s future price. In a baseline scenario (50% probability), as the crypto market stabilizes, ETF capital gently flows back, and progress is made on the Clarity Act, XRP could rebound to the $2.00 to $2.80 range. This scenario reflects the market’s potential for recovery after the bear market downturn, with investor confidence gradually strengthening.
In a pessimistic scenario (25% probability), if progress on the Clarity Act is slow and ETF inflows remain weak, XRP might fall to the $0.90 to $1.20 range. At this point, Bitcoin’s performance remains steady or declines, combined with ongoing global liquidity tightening and macroeconomic pressures, putting further downward pressure on XRP.
In an optimistic scenario (25% probability), if the Clarity Act is passed and Bitcoin experiences a strong rebound in the second half of the year, XRP could rise to the $4.50 to $6.50 range. This scenario would be accompanied by significant ETF capital inflows, increased institutional adoption driven by XRPL upgrades, and more use cases in cross-border payments and tokenized assets.
Claude emphasized that XRP’s price movement depends not only on market sentiment but also closely on policy developments, ETF capital flows, and XRPL upgrades. Investors should monitor macroeconomic conditions and regulatory progress to gauge the possible price range for XRP by the end of the year.
Overall, XRP still has significant rebound potential in the second half of 2026, but in the short term, it may face downside pressure to $0.90–$1.20, with a continued mix of bullish and bearish forces.
