Ripple is heading for its best year ever while XRP faces its worst since 2022
Summary
Ripple says it is on track for a record $900 million annualized product revenue run rate by the end of 2026, driven by institutional partnerships and acquisitions that broadened its services into trading, financing and treasury management. Its products processed more than $16 trillion in 2025, while over 1,700 institutions use its infrastructure. Ripple also cited growth in payments and its RLUSD stablecoin, and received final approval for a national trust bank. In contrast, XRP has fallen about 29% in 2026 and more than 50% over the past year, potentially making this its worst annual performance since 2022 amid a broader crypto market downturn.
