XRP Price Prediction and Target For January 2026
The XRP community has been eagerly waiting for a significant breakout, and according to Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, the wait may finally be worth it. In a bold prediction, Claver suggests that XRP could soar to a staggering $1,500 to $2,000 by January 1, 2026, provided a specific combination of global financial events unfolds in 2025.
Claver acknowledges that this projection may seem unrealistic at first glance. However, he insists that the price surge is feasible if certain key factors come into play during the next year. His prediction relies on the occurrence of a few critical events: a possible liquidity crisis, increased regulatory pressure on Tether, and XRP’s emergence as a global bridge asset.
What Could Trigger This Massive Rally?
One potential trigger for this massive rally could be the so-called reverse carry trade phenomenon that may shake up global liquidity. Meanwhile, regulators in the United States are pushing new stablecoin legislation. If scrutiny over Tether intensifies, investors might seek safer and more regulated digital assets. There are also hints of behind-the-scenes discussions involving the CFTC, SEC, and DOJ regarding Tether and broader market stability. In the event that Tether faces trouble, it could result in billions of dollars being re-allocated and XRP would be a major beneficiary.
Big Players Could Put XRP Under the Spotlight
Another factor influencing Claver’s outlook is Project ION, a system developed by DTCC and R3. Designed to improve how stock trades are settled in the United States, it could one day integrate with blockchain technology. For this to happen, Claver said there must be a neutral, highly liquid digital asset that connects different financial ecosystems, and XRP fits that description.
A few events he’s closely watching include:
* ETF approvals for XRP and similar assets
* Geopolitical tensions that may cause oil prices to rise and trigger broader financial instability
* Monetary policy shifts in the United States and Japan that could impact interest rates and market liquidity
