XRP is under pressure near $1, but a highly optimistic scenario based on Anthropic’s Claude AI suggests the token could reach $28 to $45 by January 1, 2027, if regulatory progress at Ripple, institutional expansion and improving market liquidity all come together. In an extreme case, the projection puts XRP above $55. These are speculative scenarios, not price commitments, and depend on regulatory outcomes, adoption and broader risk appetite.
Anthropic IPO plans add another market variable
The analysis also points to a possible Anthropic IPO. It anticipates a Nasdaq listing in mid-to-late November, with an indicated price range of $70 to $78 per share, the ticker symbol ANT and November 19 as the expected listing date. It assigns the company an implied valuation of nearly $1.4 trillion and argues that the offering could draw investor attention to AI, potentially affecting liquidity and risk appetite across wider markets.
Any effect on crypto would be indirect. An IPO timetable alone does not establish that capital will flow into digital assets. The market response would also depend on macroeconomic conditions, investor positioning and willingness to take risk.
Ripple’s regulatory and institutional progress underpins the bullish case
The XRP scenario relies heavily on potential regulatory and commercial developments at Ripple. It assumes the company could receive final approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national trust bank charter by the end of October 2026 and reach an annualized revenue run rate of $900 million. It also envisages expanded work with institutions including BNY and Robinhood, alongside greater use of RLUSD and the XRP Ledger.
Under that scenario, a Ripple national trust bank could serve as a regulated gateway for institutional digital-asset services, while broader use of the XRP Ledger for cross-border settlement could support demand. XRP would need to become a major liquidity asset for those transactions for that demand to translate into meaningful support for its price.
These are assumptions, not confirmed outcomes. The analysis provides no evidence that the charter has been approved or that Ripple has reached the projected revenue level.
XRP trades near support, with resistance above $1.08
XRP has pulled back from above $1.30 in early November and is now around $1.04. Technical analysis identifies $1.03 to $1.04 as near-term support; if selling continues, the $0.98 to $1.00 area is another level to watch. Resistance sits first at $1.08 to $1.10, followed by $1.20 to $1.30.
The daily relative strength index (RSI) has entered oversold territory. That can sometimes accompany a rebound, but it does not confirm a reversal. A sustained move above $1.20 to $1.30 could bring the previous cycle high of $3.50 to $3.65 into view under the analysis. Reaching $28 to $45, or more than $55, would require much stronger institutional adoption and capital inflows than a typical technical rebound.
Bitcoin Hyper presale figures are separate from XRP’s outlook
The article also highlights Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), which it says plans a public launch on November 26. The project aims to support faster transactions and decentralized finance applications in the Bitcoin ecosystem. It describes itself as a Bitcoin Layer 2 network using a Solana virtual machine (SVM) architecture, with an emphasis on transaction speed and lower costs.
The article says the HYPER presale has raised more than $33.2 million and advertises a 35% annual percentage yield (APY) for staking. Those figures and the planned listing are project-related promotional claims; presale participation and a token listing remain uncertain. They are separate from the XRP scenario, whose current price near $1.04, support around $1 and unverified assumptions about regulation and institutional adoption should be considered independently.
