Some see modest gains ahead, while others believe a strong bull market could send XRP soaring.ChatGPT: Regulatory Clarity Helps, But Utility Must Drive DemandChatGPT took a measured approach, arguing that XRP’s strongest tailwind is the removal of regulatory uncertainty following Ripple’s legal victories and the emergence of spot XRP ETFs.“The range I consider most realistic is $2-$3.50 if Bitcoin avoids a prolonged bear market, ETF inflows return, XRP maintains institutional momentum, and RLUSD and XRPL adoption continue growing.”ChatGPT predictions for 2026. | Credit: ChatGPTHowever, ChatGPT also highlighted a key concern: Ripple’s business success does not automatically translate into XRP price appreciation.“The biggest mistake I see investors making with XRP is assuming that regulatory clarity alone guarantees a new all-time high.”Its base case projects XRP finishing 2026 around $2.50-$3.00, with an extreme bullish scenario exceeding $6.Gemini: Strong Network Activity Could Support a RecoveryGoogle’s Gemini emphasized the strength of XRP’s underlying network despite recent price weakness. According to the model, XRP’s correction appears more connected to broader macroeconomic conditions than to any deterioration in the asset’s fundamentals.Gemini pointed to the XRP Ledger’s active usage, noting that it continues to process roughly 1.78 million daily transactions, while Ripple expands its institutional footprint through acquisitions and financial services partnerships.Gemini’s bullish outlook for XRP in 2026. | Credit: GeminiIts outlook breaks down into three scenarios:Bearish: $0.90-$1.20Moderate: $1.45-$2.30Bullish: $2.50-$4.00“The massive price correction looks more like an industry-wide macro flush than a failure of the token itself,” Gemini said.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
