XRP has been quietly climbing, and some analysts believe the move is just getting started. Technical analyst Matt Hughes now sees a path for XRP to surge more than 773%, taking the price to $26.63 – a level that would give the coin a market cap of around $1.5 trillion.
XRP is trading near $3.05, up over 7% in the past week. The coin recently broke through short-term resistance at $2.85, a price level that held XRP back since late August.
Looking at the bigger picture, XRP has also pushed beyond several long-term resistance levels that had capped its price for years. For many traders, that’s a sign the market is building strength for an even bigger move.

What you'll learn 👉
Fibonacci Targets Point to Huge Upside
In a new chart shared on social media, Hughes plotted long-term Fibonacci extension levels – a tool used to project where price rallies could stall or reverse. His key upside targets for XRP are $8.30, $13.39, and $26.63.
A run to the top target of $26.63 would mean a ninefold return from today’s price. Even the more conservative targets of $8 to $13 suggest a 3X to 4X gain for long-term holders.
Well-known XRP analyst EGRAG has also repeated a similar $27 price call, giving further weight to this bold forecast. For perspective, a holder with 50,000 XRP could see their investment swell to more than $1.3 million if Hughes’ upper projection plays out.

Solana Charts a Similar Path
Hughes isn’t only bullish on XRP. He also expects Solana (SOL) to rally hard. SOL is trading near $230, with a chart that shows weeks of steady gains and a test of its all-time high at $294.
His next big target for Solana is around $670, nearly a 3X jump from here. On the more aggressive side, Hughes sees a possible move to $1,098, which would imply a market cap close to $600 billion.
What Could Drive These Moves
Skeptics argue that a $1.5 trillion valuation for XRP might be too ambitious in the near term. Still, XRP bulls point to powerful catalysts: Ripple’s expanding global payments network, institutional partnerships, potential XRP ETFs, and adoption of the token as a treasury asset by major companies.
If these trends continue and the broader crypto market enters another growth phase, the path to double-digit XRP prices becomes more realistic.
