XRP recently rallied 40%, but Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg viewed the move as expected. In a video shared by crypto commentator Xaif Crypto, McClurg said the recent increase reflects growing capital entering the market and suggested that another move of similar size could occur in early 2027.
Xaif Crypto highlighted McClurg’s comments in a post on X, asking whether the cryptocurrency could reach $2.50 before 2027. The post focused on McClurg’s view that XRP’s recent performance was consistent with broader developments that could attract additional capital.
McClurg linked the potential for further growth to announcements and opportunities that allow investors to earn more on their money. He said these developments could encourage continued participation and bring additional capital into the market.
“It really is no shocker that XRP has gone up 40% in the last few days,” McClurg said in the video.
He then extended his outlook into early 2027, stating that another 40% increase would not surprise him.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if we see another, you know, 40% in 2020, you know, early 2027,” McClurg said, apparently referring to 2027 based on the context of the discussion.
🚨 Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg on $XRP:
the recent 40% rally "no shocker" and wouldn't be surprised by another 40% move in early 2027. 📈

Xaif Crypto Raises the $2.50 Question
Xaif Crypto’s post followed McClurg’s comments by asking whether XRP could reach $2.50 before 2027. The question comes as XRP remains the focus of increasing attention around institutional participation, investment products and broader cryptocurrency market activity.
A 40% increase from $1.75, for example, would place XRP at approximately $2.45, close to the $2.50 level referenced by Xaif Crypto. The exact outcome would depend on XRP’s price at the time.
McClurg’s comments do not establish a specific price target or guarantee another 40% rally. Instead, the Canary Capital executive linked his expectations to continued capital arrival and developments that could improve opportunities for investors.
Crypto Community Reacts to the Forecast
The comments received mixed reactions from users responding to Xaif Crypto’s post.
Angus Rock questioned the relevance of focusing on another 40% move while noting that the broader cryptocurrency market capitalization remains significantly below its previous level. He criticized excessive speculation surrounding the market.

Another commenter, Kiryu Kazuma, took a more optimistic position. He said the recent increase was not surprising because XRP had previously fallen significantly and suggested that the cryptocurrency remained well below levels implied by its earlier performance.
Sidney M Brewer also expressed confidence in another major increase, saying he would not be surprised if McClurg’s projection materialized.
For now, McClurg’s comments represent an expectation rather than a confirmed forecast. His central point remains that continued capital inflows could support further XRP growth, while Xaif Crypto’s $2.50 question places a specific level on the potential move investors are watching before 2027.
