An AI model floating $11 for XRP by end of 2026 makes for a great headline, but XRP is sitting at $1.30 right now, barely up 0.4% on the day and still down 6.6% on the week after a rough stretch. That's a long, conditional road from here to there. Predictions are cheap; price action is what actually pays. Watch how XRP holds up near current levels before getting excited about numbers years out.
