That is part of what Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg is predicting for XRP before December, on top of a price that he believes could double from where it stands today.<\/p>\n<h2>The Road To Year End<\/h2>\n<p>McClurg, who leads one of the first firms to file for a spot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/xrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">XRP<\/a> exchange-traded fund in the US, laid out a three-phase path he expects the market to follow over the rest of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The near term, he said, will be rough. Summer is expected to bring pressure across both equities and crypto broadly, and the lead-up to midterm elections will pull attention and money away from markets.<\/p>\n<p>But McClurg&#8217;s outlook shifts sharply once the election season passes. He said post-midterm conditions are where ETF inflows are likely to accelerate, driven in part by the potential passage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/a16zcrypto.com\/posts\/article\/clarity-act-what-why-matters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">CLARITY Act<\/a> and growing activity around real-world asset tokenization.<\/p>\n<p>Institutional investors, he suggested, have been waiting for that kind of regulatory clarity before committing larger sums.<\/p>\n<h2>ETF Inflows Already Building<\/h2>\n<p>The timing of his comments follows a strong week for XRP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingnews.com\/news\/xrp-etf-forecast-xrpi-xrpr-and-bitwise-xrp-at-15-usd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ETFs<\/a>. Net inflows hit $60 million last week, the best single-week performance so far in 2026, pushing the total cumulative figure to $1.39 billion. McClurg said he expects that number to grow another 30% by year end.<\/p>\n<p>XRP is trading around $1.40 at the time the comments were made. A doubling of that price by December would put the token above $2.80. Whether or not the prediction holds, the inflow data points to real and growing institutional appetite for XRP exposure through regulated fund products.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Ubq6mcmz\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"1847\" height=\"1027\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A Specific Target With A Specific Timeline<\/p>\n<p>McClurg did not hedge his outlook with vague language. He put a number on it and attached a deadline. That kind of precision from a fund executive with direct skin in the XRP market tends to draw attention, and his comments are already circulating widely.<\/p>\n<p>The broader bet he is making rests on a combination of regulatory progress, post-election capital rotation, and continued ETF adoption. All three would need to show up more or less on schedule for his year-end target to come true.<\/p>\n<p>Summer, by his own admission, will test that thesis before the second half of the year gets a chance to prove it right.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from iStock\/3DSculptor, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 30% rise in investor interest.
