The XRP price is down 0.86% to $1.41 over the past 24 hours, slightly underperforming Bitcoin, which is down 0.49%. The move comes from broad market selling pressure, with no major XRP-specific negative catalyst in the data.
Still, the setup for the next bull run is becoming more interesting. XRP could test $1.70 and potentially $2 if Treasury liquidity operations and the September 15 CLARITY Act vote support risk assets.
Also, XRPL’s tokenized asset and stablecoin economy has expanded from $99 million to $4.26 billion in six quarters. With institutional ETF demand also reaching $1.68 billion in cumulative inflows, we asked three major AI models where the XRP price could reach at the peak of the next bull run.
One of the biggest catalysts for the XRP price is institutional demand through U.S. spot XRP ETFs. These products have attracted about $1.68 billion in cumulative net inflows and hold roughly $1.48 billion in net assets as of early September.
The price has remained flat-to-weaker despite those flows, meaning the key question is whether institutional allocations become larger as regulatory conditions improve. Continued positive ETF flows could absorb available XRP supply and create stronger demand if capital keeps entering the market.
XRPL’s underlying financial activity also provides a major fundamental case. The average value of stablecoins and tokenized assets on the ledger increased from $99 million in Q1 2025 to $4.26 billion in Q2 2026, a roughly 43-fold increase across six quarters with no quarterly decline.
Tokenized assets averaged $3.72 billion in Q2 2026, up more than 3,000% year over year. RLUSD also grew from $73 million to $539 million over the same period, a 642% increase, with its share of XRPL stablecoin supply rising from 20% to 34%. RLUSD transaction value increased 925% year over year.
Regulation could become another major variable for the XRP price. The September 15 CLARITY Act vote could provide a clearer framework for digital assets in the U.S. Ripple has also signed a multi-year sponsorship with the University of Florida, placing the XRP logo on the field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and adding financial education programs. These developments are secondary to ETF flows and XRPL usage, but they expand Ripple’s institutional and mainstream presence.
ChatGPT’s most bullish path places the XRP price between $4.50 and $6.00. This scenario requires XRP to break $1.70, establish that level as support, and then move through $2.50 and $3.50 before entering the $4.50–$6.00 region.
Source: ChatGPTThe main fuel would be sustained ETF inflows, continued XRPL tokenization, RLUSD growth and favorable regulatory developments. The move from $99 million to $4.26 billion in XRPL stablecoins and tokenized assets gives this scenario a strong fundamental base.
Its base case places Ripple’s XRP price at $2.50–$4.00. Here, ETF inflows remain positive without accelerating dramatically, XRPL continues expanding, and upgrades such as Native Lending and Confidential Transfers add utility. Ripple’s monthly 1-billion XRP escrow release would remain manageable if most released tokens return to escrow.
The bearish bull-market case puts XRP at $1.80–$2.50. Under this scenario, XRP benefits from a broader crypto rally but cannot sustain a move above $1.70. Slower ETF inflows, restrictive monetary conditions and weaker altcoin demand would limit the upside.
Gemini presents a wider range, with its conservative case at $3.50–$5.00, its moderate case at $7.00–$12.00, and its aggressive case at $18.00–$30.00+. The $3.50–$5.00 scenario assumes ETF inflows reach roughly $2 billion–$3 billion, the CLARITY Act provides regulatory clarity, and XRPL continues expanding without a major acceleration.
Source: Gemini AIIts $7.00–$12.00 case requires much stronger institutional participation. Gemini sees this scenario developing if ETF inflows accelerate, tokenized assets exceed $10 billion, RLUSD becomes the dominant stablecoin on XRPL, and upgrades such as Confidential Transfers and Native Lending attract institutional capital. A strong altcoin cycle would provide additional support.
The most aggressive Gemini scenario puts the XRP price above $18 and potentially beyond $30. That outcome requires global financial institutions to use XRPL for settlement and credit markets, coupled with large ETF inflows and a strong supply squeeze. It is the most demanding forecast because several major catalysts would need to materialize together.
Grok’s base case places XRP at $3.50–$5.00, requiring the token to reclaim $1.70 and eventually challenge its previous cycle high near $3.65.
Source: Grok AI Its moderate case reaches $7–$12, supported by stronger ETF demand, CLARITY Act progress, continued XRPL tokenization, RLUSD growth, Confidential Transfers, Native Lending and a strong altcoin market.
Grok’s high-end forecast reaches $15–$28+. This requires the full catalyst stack: regulatory clarity, much larger ETF inflows, rapid growth in tokenized finance, institutional use of XRPL and a powerful crypto bull market. The model therefore places less emphasis on XRP reaching $30+ than Gemini but still allows for a major move beyond previous all-time highs.

Gemini is the most bullish of the three models, with a top range of $18–$30+. Grok follows with $15–$28+, and ChatGPT is more conservative, placing its highest range at $4.50–$6.00. The difference comes down to how much each model assumes ETF demand, XRPL adoption and institutional usage will translate into direct demand for XRP.
The three models do agree on one important level: $1.70. A sustained breakout above it would open the door toward $2 and the previous cycle high near $3.65. From there, the larger forecasts depend on ETF inflows, regulatory clarity and whether XRPL’s $4.26 billion tokenized-asset and stablecoin economy produces stronger demand for XRP itself.
Our conservative path places the XRP price at $3.50–$5.00, assuming ETF inflows remain positive and XRPL continues expanding.
A stronger base case puts XRP at $7–$12 if institutional ETF demand accelerates, CLARITY passes and XRPL tokenization, RLUSD and lending activity continue growing.
Our high-end path reaches $15–$25, but that requires a powerful crypto cycle combined with major institutional adoption of XRPL and much larger ETF inflows.
For now, $1.70 is the key level to watch. A clean breakout there would make $2 the next major target and give the XRP price a clearer route toward the multi-dollar forecasts outlined by all three AI models.
Yes, XRP could reach $10 under a strong bull-market scenario, but it would require significantly higher institutional ETF demand, continued XRPL adoption, regulatory clarity and a broader altcoin rally. Both Gemini and Grok place XRP in the $7–$12 range under their stronger scenarios.
What could drive the XRP price higher in the next bull runThe biggest potential catalysts are sustained XRP ETF inflows, growth in XRPL tokenized assets and stablecoins, RLUSD adoption, favorable U.S. crypto regulation and greater institutional use of the XRP Ledger. A sustained break above $1.70 could also improve XRP’s technical outlook.
What is the highest XRP price predicted by the three AI modelsGemini has the most aggressive forecast, placing XRP at $18–$30+ in its bullish scenario. Grok projects $15–$28+, while ChatGPT’s highest range is $4.50–$6.00. These are scenario-based forecasts, not guaranteed price targets.
