Claude AI Predicts XRP Could Hit $10 in 2026: How Does it Get There

In ideal bull-market conditions, Anthropic’s Claude AI predicts Ripple (XRP) could hit $10, assuming sustained liquidity, expanding ETF inflows, regulatory progress, and growing institutional use of the XRP Ledger.

Claude’s bull-case target for XRP sits between $5.50 and $8.50, with a target of $6.50–$7.50, assuming a strong crypto bull market through late 2026.

As of September 25, 2026, XRP trades near $1.55–$1.62, benefiting from broader market strength following Bitcoin’s breakout. Optimistic forecasts, such as Standard Chartered’s target of ~$7, hinge on sustained liquidity, ETF inflows, regulatory progress, and increased institutional use of the XRP Ledger.

The current market signals the early stages of a sustained bull run, driven by improved macro conditions and capital rotation into large-cap altcoins.

Historical trends suggest XRP could rise significantly alongside Bitcoin, with potential moves up to the mid-to-high single digits in a bullish environment. However, this remains speculative and dependent on market conditions.

On the higher timeframes, XRP has staged a strong multi-week rebound from mid-September lows near $1.25–$1.30, reclaiming key moving averages and pushing through successive resistance levels into the $1.55–$1.62 zone.

A sustained break and weekly close above $1.65–$1.70 (with volume confirmation) would further confirm the intermediate bullish structure, opening the path toward the prior cycle high near $3.65.

In a full bull-market regime led by Bitcoin’s recovery, reclaiming that prior high often acts as a powerful psychological and technical catalyst for further extension.

Fibonacci projections and measured moves from the multi-year base and recent recovery low project into the $5.50–$8.50 zone on continued momentum.

RSI has improved from oversold levels into constructive territory, price is holding firmly above clustered support from the 50-/100-/200-day averages, and the broader risk-on shift supports trend continuation.

Key supports to defend on any retests include the $1.45–$1.50 zone and the broader $1.30–$1.40 area; a decisive break below those would weaken the near-term recovery thesis.

Overall, the chart setup favors a multi-leg advance with strong upside potential as risk appetite builds, consistent with XRP’s historical pattern of sharp rallies once key resistances clear in bull-market conditions.

Anyone holding XRP from the sub-$1 range is in a comfortable spot. But buying in now, chasing a token already up +19% over seven days and pressing into resistance at $1.50, is a different risk calculus entirely; the easy money on this leg has largely been made.

That’s pushing some traders toward earlier-stage plays with more room to run, and cross-chain infrastructure is one of the more active corners of that search right now.

LiquidChain (LIQUID) is building a Layer 3 execution environment designed to fuse Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single unified layer, a “deploy-once, access-all” model for developers tired of fragmenting liquidity across chains.

The presale is priced at $0.014958 per token, with over $971,000 raised to date. Core features include single-step execution and verifiable settlement, designed to remove bridging friction between ecosystems.
