XRP Poised for Stronger Growth in 2026, Says Crypto Commentator

Crypto commentator Crypto X AiMan recently weighed in on the performance of two popular cryptocurrencies: XRP and XLM. Both assets have built strong reputations for their use cases in cross-border payments, tokenized finance, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). However, according to AiMan, one stands out as a stronger investment opportunity in 2026.

AiMan noted that both XRP and XLM have seen significant growth since their launch, with XRP up approximately 18,340% and XLM at around 6,395%. He also highlighted the potential for future price increases, stating that if XRP reaches Bitcoin's market capitalization, its price could surge to nearly $20 per token. By contrast, he estimated that if XLM were to grow to XRP's current market capitalization, it could reach nearly $2 per coin.

AiMan emphasized the historical performance of both assets, with XRP consistently delivering stronger long-term growth than Stellar. He also pointed out that XRP achieved a new all-time high in 2025, while XLM did not surpass its previous peak. Despite his preference for XRP, AiMan remains highly bullish on XLM and encourages investors to consider diversifying their portfolios by owning both assets.
