#XRP Shines as ChatGPT and Grok Pick Top Assets to Turn $100 Into $1,000 by 2026. #Ripple🧵🧵🧵 Image OpenAI’s ChatGPT and xAI’s Grok both pick two assets to turn $100 into $1,000 by 2026, and XRP is one of each option.

The crypto market’s rally has not faded, and many traders believe it could stretch into 2026. With Bitcoin’s dominance slipping, optimism around an imminent altcoin season has emerged. However, the important question is, which tokens can deliver the biggest returns in this bull run?

To find an answer, we asked two leading AI chatbots, ChatGPT from OpenAI and Grok from xAI, to pick the assets they believe could turn a $100 investment into $1,000 within the next year. Despite their different approaches, both highlighted XRP as one of their options.

Notably, XRP has earned that attention. Since November 2024, shortly after the U.S. elections, it has skyrocketed by more than 526%. In comparison, Bitcoin has only climbed 65%, and Ethereum has added just 88% over the same period.

Validator Publishes U.S. GDP Data on #XRPLedger, Explains Why the Government Did Not Pick #XRP.🧵🧵🧵 Image An XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator has shown that the network can easily manage the same task the U.S. Department of Commerce recently carried out on other blockchains.

Vet, an XRPL dUNL validator, showed that publishing official economic data on-chain is possible on the XRPL in a simple and low-cost manner. This has further raised questions about why the U.S. government excluded the XRP Ledger from its recent initiative.

For context, the Commerce Department recently announced that it had begun publishing key economic data, starting with GDP figures, directly on public blockchains.

Officials called the move a proof-of-concept to make government data more transparent and trustworthy. For its trial run, the department released a cryptographic hash of the GDP report across nine blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

The report also remains available in its usual formats, such as PDFs, but blockchain technology now makes it more secure and immutable. The recent development triggered excitement within crypto circles, as it pointed to growing public adoption of blockchain.

Top Analyst @egragcrypto Predicts $XRP Could Hit $27 , Miss at $18, or Over Shoot to $200. #Ripple🧵🧵🧵 Image A market analyst suggests XRP could rally to one of three different bullish targets depending on whether it “hits, misses or overshoots” an important regression line.

Currently, XRP continues to battle for the $3 mark amid prevailing market uncertainties. While most traders anticipate the next move, one analyst has presented a commentary that points to potential price targets at $18, $27, or even as high as $200.

Analyst EGRAG based his forecast on linear regression analysis on a logarithmic scale. According to him, XRP’s target for the forthcoming bullish push would depend on whether it hits the upper regression line, misses it, or overshoots above the line.

Notably, his analysis leverages the R-squared value of the regression model, which measures how closely the data fits the regression line.

EGRAG noted that the current R-squared value stands at 0.84754. This means the model explains roughly 84.75% of the variance in XRP’s movement, suggesting a highly reliable fit between historical data and the projection. He explained that values closer to 1 represent a stronger correlation, while 0 means no correlation at all.

Top XRP Critic Predicts $XRP to Hit 4,761 — Here’s What He Means. #Ripple 🧵🧵🧵 Image A well-known Bitcoin maxi and long-term XRP critic has presented his mid-term XRP target amid the recovery toward $3.

For context, XRP is again testing the $3 level, a price point that has become a major line for investors. After a strong rally earlier this year, it now faces pressure to prove it can hold and build on its gains.

While the community discusses whether XRP has the strength for another leg up, one of its most vocal critics, Davinci Jeremie, has presented what he believes could be XRP’s short-term price target.

Analyst @egragcrypto Identifies $XRP Price path for $23 Rally and Bear Market Warning Zone.🧵🧵🧵 Image A top market analyst has identified the level XRP must breach to soar to “Valhalla” as well as the region that could trigger the next bear market.

EGRAG Crypto recently discussed these levels as XRP battles the bears at $3. Notably, his analysis uses a logarithmic regression model and a formation he calls the “Bent Fork,” which shows both the upside potential and the danger zones for XRP.

Importantly, his chart features a regression channel drawn on a logarithmic scale. This model highlights previous cycles and how XRP moved in parabolic waves during these cycles.

XRP ended last month, July, on a bearish note after reaching a new peak of $3.66 earlier in the month. While the recovery that emerged this month, August, pushed XRP above $3 for an extended period, recent data from Glassnode has identified what contributed to the late-July crash.

Top U.S. Exchange Gemini Hints at Something Big Coming for $XRP.🧵🧵🧵 Image Top U.S. crypto exchange Gemini has stirred fresh excitement within the XRP community after posting a cryptic message on X.

The platform tweeted “The neXt era of rewaRds is preParing to launch”, with the capitalized letters forming “XRP”. This has led many to believe that Gemini is preparing another major initiative centered on the third biggest crypto asset.

This teaser comes shortly after Gemini concluded an XRP giveaway campaign. The exchange awarded 305 XRP, worth $1,000, to one lucky follower who followed its X account and liked an official post on August 7.

At the time, the campaign coincided with XRP’s rebound to the $3.36 range after briefly dipping to $2.90. That rally was fueled by the official conclusion of Ripple’s lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Meanwhile, Gemini’s post announcing the giveaway winner had already hinted that something “BIG” was on the horizon. Now, the latest teaser appears to confirm that a new XRP-centered program could be launching in the weeks ahead.

Pundit Explains How World Would React if $XRP Moves From $4 to $1,000.🧵🧵🧵 Image XRP advocate Armando Pantoja has outlined how he believes market sentiment will evolve as the token climbs from single digits into triple and even four-digit territory.

His framework mirrors similar ultra-bullish outlooks from other pro-XRP commentators who see today’s $3 XRP as merely the beginning. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $3.06, holding steady after days of volatility.

According to Pantoja, XRP at $4 would still be dismissed by skeptics, who would mock the move as insignificant. Notably, from today’s price, XRP only needs to surge 31% to break above $4.

Meanwhile, as XRP pushes toward the $10–$15 range, Pantoja expects discomfort from sidelined investors. He sees many insisting they’ll wait for a dip below $1 to buy back in.

This aligns with earlier commentary from BarriC. He forecasted that around these levels, critics would stop ignoring XRP and begin questioning why the asset continues to rise after years of underperformance compared to Bitcoin.

#Ripple CTO Says $XRP Ledger Ready to Power the Future of Global Financial Infrastructure.🧵🧵🧵 Image Ripple CTO David Schwartz embraces the growing trend of payments and stablecoin companies introducing their own blockchains.

In a lengthy post on X today, Schwartz acknowledged the influx of new stablecoin and payment companies launching their blockchain. He pointed out that the recent trend serves as proof that the broader market considers blockchain an integral part of financial infrastructure.

While many are just realizing the blockchain’s relevance in finance, Schwartz said Ripple has believed in this prospect for more than 13 years and has been building toward it on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) all along.

He stated that while it is challenging to launch a new blockchain, it is even more challenging to build an ecosystem with trust, liquidity, real-world usage, and developers. In his view, XRPL has gained traction and institutional adoption because of its long history of consistent updates and improvements.

#XRPL Validator Shares Transaction Data Allegedly Showing #XRP Price Manipulation.🧵🧵🧵 Image Grapedrop, an XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator, has revealed what he believes could be signs of XRP price manipulation.

In a recent disclosure on X, Grapedrop confirmed that since launching his XRPL validator on July 12, 2025, he has tracked blockchain activity that raised concerns about market manipulation.

He pointed out that while the XRPL network has about 1,000 nodes worldwide, only 150 to 170 actively validate transactions on the main network, and his is one of them. With this access, he began monitoring transactions in real time.

The community commentator revealed that he built a Python tool that flags any XRP payment larger than 10,000 tokens. He insisted that the results were hard to ignore, as large transfers continued to move tokens every few minutes.

Expert Says Only Few Will Be Able to Retire With $XRP Historical Pump, But Majority Will Become Exit Liquidity. #Ripple 🧵🧵🧵 Image Technical analyst Jaydee is renewing his warning to XRP holders as the coin prepares for a massive historical pump.

Jaydee noted that the upcoming surge could mirror XRP’s legendary 2017 rally. However, he cautioned that while a small group of traders might walk away with life-changing profits, the majority risk becoming exit liquidity for “smart money.”

According to Jaydee’s chart, XRP is building toward a breakout that could surpass recent price action. For context, XRP has surged approximately 650% since its November breakout, reaching a local high of $3.66. He believes further gains of up to $21 are possible.

Jaydee predicts that once the rally peaks, the market could repeat its historical pattern: a sharp, parabolic rise followed by a devastating crash of more than 90%, trapping latecomers at the top.

“The majority will lose,” the technical analyst warned, adding, “Some may be able to retire.”

Ex #Ripple Developer Says $XRP Did Not Prioritize ISO 20022 Whatsoever.🧵🧵🧵 Image A former Ripple developer has debunked the XRP ISO 20022 compliance claims. However, XRP could still benefit from RippleNet’s alignment.

The latest argument started with Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, praising XRP for what he sees as a forward-thinking move. He claimed that XRP recognized early on the importance of ISO 20022, a global standard that lets financial institutions exchange data in a common, streamlined format.

Expert Explains Why $1,000 $XRP Price Won’t Be the Ceiling but the Floor. #Ripple 🧵🧵🧵 Image Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, is reinforcing his long-term bullish stance on XRP.

This month, he predicted that once XRP becomes the bridge asset for global financial infrastructure, $1,000 will mark the floor, not the ceiling.

Aljarrah’s statement implies that the XRP price would need to expand massively from today’s value to efficiently serve its utility in the financial market. He sees $1,000 as a base price, not the top. Notably, XRP is trading slightly above $3 today.

Aljarrah argued that the future of finance will be built on tokenized assets, real-time foreign exchange settlements, and sovereign debt swaps. This paints a vast ecosystem where trillions of dollars could move seamlessly across borders.

In this scenario, he envisions XRP playing a central role as the bridge currency connecting these tokenized systems. He believes XRP will necessarily become more valuable than it is today.

This latest projection builds on Aljarrah’s earlier position that a $3 XRP price is unsustainable in a tokenized economy worth trillions of dollars. At that level, he suggested, XRP’s liquidity pool would be too small to efficiently facilitate the massive flows expected in such a financial framework.

By contrast, a higher price point in the hundreds or thousands of dollars would enable the necessary scalability and liquidity for large-scale cross-border settlements, central bank transactions, and institutional use cases.
