Hilton Sees Volatility Ahead for XRP, Predicts All-Time High Reclaim by 2026

Austin Hilton, a well-known crypto commentator, warns XRP holders to expect continued price volatility in the coming months.

Hilton notes that XRP has moved sideways after a recent increase, reflecting what he describes as a 'chop and volatility' environment.

The asset surged over 28% in the past month, but most of those gains were followed by consolidation rather than a sustained rally. A rate hike by the Bank of Japan may raise borrowing costs and prompt some traders to liquidate positions in XRP to repay their yen-denominated loans.

Hilton projects that XRP could reclaim its all-time high of $3.60 by the end of 2026, assuming favorable macro conditions and a recovery in Bitcoin's price.
