21Shares forecasts XRP target price of $2.45 in 2026, warns of correction risk
American asset management firm 21Shares in its latest report predicts a baseline target price of $2.45 for Ripple (XRP) in 2026; in an optimistic scenario, if institutional demand and RWA applications expand, the price could reach as high as $2.69. The report notes that XRP, which briefly surged to $3.65 in 2025, has now fallen back below $2.

#GoldBreaksAbove$5,200 Gold just added a massive $1.3 trillion to its market cap in a single day a move so big that it equals the entire altcoin market combined.
While crypto traders chase volatility and upside in digital assets, traditional safe-haven capital is making equally powerful moves behind the scenes. The comparison highlights how scale, liquidity, and global trust still give gold unmatched weight in the financial system, even as altcoins continue to fight for their share of attention and capital.

This resurgence is not just random price pumps. It is being fueled by real product improvements, economic redesigns, growing player activity, and broader market capital rotation.
Let’s break down what’s driving this recovery, who’s leading it, what risks remain, and what co
