XRP Price Target Slashed as Ripple Continues to Release New Coins
XRP has surged 46% over three months to $1.53, but remains down 17% for 2026 and needs a 21% climb just to finish the year flat.
Ripple releases up to 1 billion new XRP monthly from escrow, creating constant selling pressure buyers must absorb before prices can meaningfully rise.
Standard Chartered slashed its 2026 XRP target from $8 to $2.80, while a realistic year-end range sits between $1.75 and $2.
