Ripple CEO Predicts New All-Time Highs for Crypto Markets in 2026
Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: XRP Price: Ripple CEO Predicts New All-Time Highs for Crypto Markets Original Link: Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has predicted that the cryptocurrency market will manage to reach new all-time highs this year. According to his statements, favorable regulation and institutional adoption will be the main tailwinds that will help his prediction materialize.
Bitcoin’s Outlook
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, recently dipped below the $90,000 level once again. However, Garlinghouse dismissed the current bearishness, forecasting a new lifetime peak. The Ripple boss stated he was willing to go on record predicting a new all-time high for the flagship cryptocurrency in 2026.
Garlinghouse believes that institutional interest in crypto is not entirely priced in. Moreover, he is confident that the Clarity Act will “get done.”
XRP Price Movement
XRP entered 2026 trading quietly in the $1.85–$1.90 range. However, the first week of January saw a significant breakout that overshadowed other major tokens. The token rallied aggressively to a peak near $2.40 around Jan. 6.
This 25% surge was short-lived. The token then entered a two-week correction channel alongside the broader market. By Jan. 20, the price had round-tripped, finding support back at its yearly open of roughly $1.85.
While Garlinghouse did not mention a specific price target for XRP, some analysts previously predicted that the token could surge to $8 in 2026 and potentially reach $12.50 by 2028.
