The bank predicts XRP will hit $8.00 by 2026, continuing its rise into 2027 and 2028.
XRP’s role in cross-border payments and Trump’s presidency will drive future growth, predicts the bank.
Standard Chartered has published price projections for XRP
through to 2028. The bank outlined targets for the end of each year, starting
with 2025. The forecasts come amid global financial instability and renewed
interest in digital assets, Binance reported.
Meanwhile, the $2 psychological level remains a key point of
focus for traders. With XRP trading above this level, there is potential for
further upward momentum.
2025 Forecast: $5.50 Target
The bank expects XRP to reach $5.50 by the end of 2025. If
achieved, it would mark a new all-time high for the cryptocurrency. Standard
Chartered’s projection is based in part on XRP’s recent price movement, which
saw a 580% increase from November 2024 to January 2025.
While the $5.50 level has been mentioned in past forecasts
from other analysts, those projections did not materialize. For example, BSC
Scoop predicted XRP would hit $5.50 in July 2024, shortly after the Bitcoin
halving. Analyst EGRAG Crypto also made a similar forecast in December 2023,
tying it to a technical event he called the “Final Wake-up Line.” Neither
prediction came true. Despite this, Standard Chartered maintains that the
target is still within reach.
The report also ties XRP’s price potential to changes in the
U.S. political landscape. According to the bank, Donald Trump’s return to the
presidency and a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment have helped create
conditions that support XRP’s growth.
Looking beyond 2025, Standard Chartered predicts XRP will
reach $8.00 by the end of 2026. The bank projects further increases to $10.40
in 2027 and $12.50 in 2028. These forecasts suggest continued confidence in
XRP’s role in cross-border payments and its broader adoption by financial
institutions.
Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at
Standard Chartered, said XRP functions similarly to stablecoins by enabling
faster and more efficient financial transactions. He highlighted its utility in
supporting traditional institutions, especially in international settlements.

XRP Price Finds Support Above $2
The XRPUSD H1 chart indicates that after a significant
bullish move, the cryptocurrency has found support around 1.92800. The price
has been gradually trending upwards. The 2.09000 level may act as intraday
resistance. However, since the cryptocurrency is trading above the $2
psychological level, buyers may drive the price higher.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
