XRP's Six-Month Losing Streak Amid Institutional Accumulation

Ripple's XRP has been experiencing a prolonged decline, with six consecutive monthly losses - its longest streak since 2022. Despite this drawdown, institutional capital continues to accumulate in the token through regulated exchange-traded products (ETPs). In fact, XRP captured 53% of all crypto product inflows last week, according to CoinShares data.

This accumulation is not without reason, as many analysts believe that XRP's current valuations represent attractive entry points for institutional capital with multi-year time horizons. Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick predicts XRP will reach $2.80 by 2026 and $12.60 by 2028. However, achieving a market cap above $1.5 trillion would be necessary to deliver a 20x return from the current price of $1.34.
