$XRP, which survived the SEC-Ripple lawsuit in 2025, continues to attract attention.
At this point, Canary Capital CEO Steven McCulurg stated that $XRP should no longer be considered a speculative transaction, arguing that its value should be evaluated within the context of the global financial infrastructure rather than in terms of short-term price targets.
In a recent interview, Steven McClurg stated that institutional investors are more focused on whether $XRP can support trillions of dollars worth of real-world asset swaps than on whether it will trade at single-digit prices.
McClurg said that price levels that seem important to individual investors look very different to institutions managing billions of dollars.
At this point, the renowned CEO described $XRP not as a token driven by hype cycles, but rather as a financial infrastructure system designed to transfer value efficiently and on a large scale.
“$XRP is now an asset that Wall Street and much of the global capital markets understand.”
Large companies are no longer focusing on whether $XRP meets their needs, but rather on how quickly they can upgrade their systems to operate on a large scale.
While McClurg stated that price predictions for $XRP are no longer his focus, he did predict that $XRP could reach $5 by 2026.
McClurg predicted that $XRP could reach $5 by 2026 thanks to its increasing adoption and real-world use cases.
Canary’s CEO stated that clearer crypto regulations could lead to market differentiation, and assets like $XRP would appreciate in value based on real-world use and adoption.
McClurg expressed optimism about the future of $XRP, but remained cautious about Bitcoin, suggesting it might not reach a new all-time high until 2027.
