Crypto Founder’s Bold Prediction: XRP Price in 2026 If Bitcoin Hits $250K

Brace for impact—XRP could be riding Bitcoin's coattails to uncharted territory. Here's the breakdown.

The Bitcoin Domino Effect

When BTC moons, altcoins often hitch a ride. One crypto founder claims XRP won't just follow—it'll sprint. The $250K Bitcoin scenario? That's their launchpad.

The XRP Wildcard

Regulatory limbo? Check. Army of loyalists? Obviously. But if Bitcoin actually quadruples from today's price, all bets are off. Even the SEC might need a new calculator.

The Punchline

Bankers will still call it a 'speculative asset'—right before quietly rebalancing their portfolios. Classic.

Zubic on XZubic on X Interestingly, this represents the height of the daily candle XRP recorded on April 2, 2017, its highest intraday close in history. For context, The Crypto Basic recently confirmed that XRP began that day with $0.0220 but closed with a price of $0.0615. We assessed during the time of the report that XRP would hit $8.76 if it replicated a similar 179% daily candle gain.  However, with the xrp price having increased to the current level of $3.58, a 179% rise from the current level would push it to $10. Notably, Zubic is not the only market commentator calling for an XRP run to $10. Last month, analyst EGRAG projected XRP could rally to $10, using several indicators such as the Gaussian Channel, the Kangaroo Pattern, and EMAs. Despite the impressive gains that could come from an XRP surge to $10, several community figures believe this price is modest, and XRP could do much better. For instance, Edoardo Farina, who leads social adoption at XRPHealthcare, suggested that any investor who sells their XRP bag at $10 will be making a lifetime mistake. Predictions for Other Altcoins Meanwhile, besides XRP, Zubic also set price targets for Ethereum (ETH), BNB, Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA). While he sees SOL hitting $500 a year from now, marking a 177% rise from the current $180 value, Zubic expects ETH to drop to $2,500, a 30% collapse from its $3,500 price at press time. Moreover, the market commentator sees BNB rising 104% from the current price of $733 to $1,500, and DOGE surging 757% to $2. Nonetheless, he is bearish on ADA, predicting an 82% crash to $0.15.
