XRP Price Target: Can $2 Be Reached by Year-End?

XRP has been making waves in the crypto market, and some analysts are predicting it could reach $2 by the end of 2026. However, this would require a significant increase from its current price of around $1.55, which is roughly 29% higher.

At an estimated 62.9 billion XRP in circulation, a $2 price target would put the token's market capitalisation at about $126 billion, which is $27 billion above its current market value of $98.6 billion.

This is not entirely unprecedented, as XRP has traded at substantially higher valuations before. On September 9, 2025, CoinMarketCap recorded XRP at $2.9466, with a market capitalisation of $175.65 billion.

However, the current market backdrop complicates any argument that $2 is simply the next step in an established advance. XRP has declined by roughly 48% year-over-year, and its recent price action suggests that it may be more volatile than previously thought.
