Six -Time NBA champion Scottie Pippen stirred up the Crypto community this week. He polled on X, asking 728,000 followers if XRP would reach $10 by 2026.
In addition to that question, he also abandoned the bold targets of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. The move has made traders and fans lively.

Pippen’s virus code voting
According to his post, Bitcoin was able to rise to $233,000, Ethereum, $10,000 and Solana to $1,000. Pippen gave people four options for each token and let them vote.
Others in comments such as Travis Sternble have reached $10 behind XRP, but even 2026 thought it was too early. Polls like this tend to attract large numbers of people, and Pippen’s name carries weight well beyond sports.
Which of these will happen in 2026:
Bitcoin reaches 233k
•$eth reaches $10k
•$sol reaches $1k
•$XRP reaches $10

The XRP is currently trading at around $3.18. That price fell 2.2% that day, but still has a 45% increase that month. At that level, the token’s market capitalization is close to $156 billion.
To achieve $10, XRP needs to inflate to about $500 billion based on a circulation of about $500 billion. That jump ranks among the world’s largest asset.
Bullish predictions from other analysts
Based on the report, the founders of the NFT project predict that if Bitcoin Rockets reaches $250,000, XRP could potentially exceed $10 by next year. A well-known crypto analyst updated his previous 4-5 dollar calls to $10 after bullish momentum spiked.
Altcoin Daily host Aaron Arnold went further by 2025 with a $11 target. He calls the number “realistic” and points to growing demand and fresh capital flows.
Realistic 2025 #altcoin Price Prediction: $ ada – $ 4 $ xrp – $ 11 $ inj – $ 99 $ borg – $ 3.50 $ pengu – $ 0.10 $ pump – $ 0.01 $ sol – $ 400
what else? 🤔

If XRP reaches $11, its market capitalization will skyrocket above $650 billion. That would go beyond big value chart names like MasterCard and Tencent. Such a move will reconstruct how people view cross-border payments and tokenized bank rails.

What you need to do to get 10 dollars
Once you reach $10, hype doesn’t happen alone. XRP still faces legal hurdles in the US. Banks need clear rules before accepting it on a large scale. On-chain activities need to continue to rise, and fresh partnerships with payment companies and tech players are a must.
At the same time, rival tokens and layer 2 solutions compete for investors’ money. Timing is also important. Cryptography often moves in waves, and bull runs can last for months or years, but corrections can be faster.
