Prediction: XRP Will Drop to $1 in 2026
For more than a century, no asset class has held a candle to the average annual return delivered by stocks. But when the lens is narrowed to the last decade, cryptocurrencies have left Wall Street's benchmark index, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), in their dust.
Although the world's largest digital currency, Bitcoin, has led the charge higher, some of the most popular altcoins have actually performed better over the trailing year. This includes the Ripple payment network's bridge currency, XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), which has rallied 34% over the trailing year (as of the early evening on Nov. 23), while Bitcoin has retraced by 14% over the same time frame.
Digital currency investors are always on the lookout for the next big thing in the cryptocurrency arena, with many latching onto high-profile blockchain and payment projects. While XRP hasn't been short of catalysts in 2025, several headwinds suggest it'll drop to $1 next year.
