Updated: Jan 01 2026- Price Prediction Controversy: Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver's prediction that XRP will reach $100 by 2026 is under scrutiny as XRP closed 2025 at $1.84, creating significant skepticism within the community regarding the feasibility of such a target.
- Market Reaction: As of January 1, 2026, XRP was trading at $1.86, down 19.9% year-over-year, indicating a bearish sentiment that could diminish XRP's attractiveness to investors amid doubts about Claver's forecasts.
- Legal Issues Impact: Claver's firm is embroiled in a lawsuit for allegedly fabricating over $1 million in transfer screenshots, which may undermine investor confidence in his future predictions and exacerbate market unease surrounding XRP.
- Market Capitalization Challenge: For XRP to reach $100, its market capitalization would need to exceed $6 trillion, a staggering leap from the current $113 billion, presenting substantial market and economic hurdles to achieving this ambitious target.
