Oh, I found this interesting - the three major AI models (Gemini, ChatGPT, and Grok) have updated their predictions for XRP in 2026 after the market cooled down significantly. The token is now at $1.44, quite different from the peak of $3.6 we saw in July last year.

ChatGPT is very cautious, projecting XRP between $2.10 and $2.60 until December, but admits that if liquidity returns strongly (interest rate cuts, more ETFs), it could spike to $3 around $4.2. Meanwhile, Grok has a more optimistic view - a 50% chance the token will stay between $2 and $3.5, with up to $8 a very bullish scenario if Bitcoin reaches $150k. Gemini expects consolidation now and then a move to $2.8 to $3.5 in the second half of the year.

All cite the same catalysts: approval of the CLARITY Act, XRP ETFs that have already raised $1.3 billion, and Ripple’s expansion into cross-border payments. XRP’s price is somewhat stuck right now, but most of these models believe it’s only a matter of time before we see a stronger recovery. ChatGPT’s analysis was the most balanced - it acknowledged that XRP is falling along with the entire crypto market, and it’s not a project-specific problem.

Support levels are around $1.20, and if the Fed starts cutting rates in the coming months, it could then release more liquidity for risk assets. Will we see XRP testing those levels projected by the models by the end of the year?
