Another XRP Record Ahead? Ripple CEO Forecasts Crypto All-Time Highs in 2026
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is optimistic about crypto markets, predicting new all-time highs in 2026. While he did not specify which assets, Garlinghouse previously forecasted Bitcoin could reach $180,000 or higher by the end of 2026, contingent on regulatory clarity from legislation like the CLARITY Act. This bill aims to shape the U.S. crypto market structure, and while its progress has been turbulent, President Trump recently expressed support for passing it soon. Garlinghouse did not offer predictions on XRP’s price but highlighted ongoing positive developments in the XRP ecosystem. XRP reached an all-time high of $3.65 in July last year but has since dropped to around $1.92. Market predictors remain cautious about near-term gains for XRP. Ripple recently expanded its U.K. operations following favorable regulatory resolution and corporate growth in 2025.
