Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto has presented a new outlook for XRP, encouraging investors to consider accumulating 2,500 XRP before August.
In a video accompanying a post on X, the analyst explained that the recommendation is based on several scenarios, including market cap and XRP dominance. He said they could significantly increase the value of those holdings by the end of 2026.
While acknowledging that the timeline is not exact, Steph suggested that the cryptocurrency market could be approaching a major shift and believes investors should prepare before market sentiment changes.
The analyst opened the presentation by saying the few days before August could be important because many market participants remain bearish. Steph noted that while many XRP traders expect the broader crypto market to reach its bottom later in the year, markets often move independently from the prevailing consensus, making early positioning worthwhile.

Conservative Outlook Targets XRP at $3.38
Steph’s first projection assumes that the total cryptocurrency market capitalization recovers to its previous peak of $4.2 trillion by the end of 2026. According to the analyst, this represents a conservative assumption because it simply returns the market to its former high rather than establishing a new record.
Within that scenario, Steph expects XRP’s market dominance to climb from its current level of approximately 3.1% back to around 5%, a level the digital asset previously achieved. Based on those assumptions, the analyst estimated an XRP price of about $3.38.
Using a current XRP price of roughly $1.08, Steph calculated that purchasing 2,500 XRP would require an investment of approximately $2,700. If the conservative scenario materializes, those holdings would be worth around $8,450 by the end of 2026.
Higher Market Growth Produces Larger XRP Targets
Steph also presented a more optimistic outlook in which the total cryptocurrency market reaches a valuation of $6 trillion. Under this scenario, XRP’s market dominance increases to 7%, reflecting a stronger position within the overall crypto market.
The analyst believes growing institutional adoption, expanding utility, and continued market development could support those conditions. Based on that model, XRP would reach approximately $7.53, placing the value of 2,500 XRP at roughly $18,825.
Steph emphasized that this projection is less certain than the conservative scenario but maintained that it remains achievable if the broader cryptocurrency market experiences stronger-than-expected growth.

Bullish Case Depends on Major Market Expansion
The final scenario outlined by Steph assumes an even stronger expansion across the cryptocurrency sector, with the total market capitalization climbing to $8.5 trillion. In this case, XRP’s market dominance rises to 12%, a level the analyst compared with historical dominance readings from previous market cycles.
Under those assumptions, Steph estimated XRP could reach approximately $16.94 per token. At that price, a holding of 2,500 XRP would be valued at around $42,350.
Although Steph presented this as an optimistic case rather than a prediction, the analyst maintained that XRP’s growing utility and partnerships could support stronger market dominance over time. Steph concluded by inviting viewers to consider which of the three scenarios is most realistic while reiterating that the models serve as reference points rather than guaranteed outcomes.
