While some XRP proponents anticipate a price surge reaching up to $750 by the end of this year, crypto enthusiast Skipper (@skipper_xrpl) argues that a more realistic timeline lies in early 2026. He highlights a prediction from Grok AI that suggests a disorderly unwind in Q1 2026 with a peak around March 2026. This aligns with his view of a market shift occurring next year rather than this year. Skipper emphasizes the crucial role of the Clarity Act, arguing that XRP’s adoption hinges on legal clarity and stability. He acknowledges some believe XRP can reach mainstream use without regulatory clarity but stresses the importance of comprehensive regulation for a successful transition.
