Peter Schiff Warns Dollar Is Near Dangerous Breaking Point as Safe-Haven Trust Cracks

XRP, currently the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has recently 
fallen below the crucial $2 mark amid a broader market correction that has 
dampened investor sentiment since October. However, market analyst Sam Daodu 
has identified five critical catalysts that could drive the altcoin to new 
all-time highs of $5 by 2026. Potential Bullish Catalysts For XRP In a 
detailed report, Daodu emphasized that for XRP to reach $5, multiple specific 
factors need to work in unison. Each of these catalysts aims to address 
various barriers that have kept XRP&#8217;s price stagnant. At the forefront of 
Daodu&#8217;s analysis is the potential for a BlackRock-backed XRP exchange-traded 
fund (ETF). Since mid-November 2025, spot XRP ETFs have attracted over $1 
billion in cumulative inflows. Should BlackRock move forward with its ETF, 
estimates suggest that inflows could exceed $2 billion. Related Reading: XRP

Bullish? Daodu’s analysis points that such capital influx would not only 
reshape market demand but would also solidify XRP&#8217;s position as the sole 
cryptocurrency tied to a fully regulated token in the United States, 
significantly enhancing its case for reaching $5. Next on the list is the 
evolving significance of Japan within the XRP narrative. Ripple, in 
collaboration with SBI Holdings, is set to launch RLUSD—Ripple&#8217;s USD-backed 
stablecoin—in Japan by the first quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approval. 
The use of RLUSD on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) can create substantial demand for 
XRP as a bridge currency, supporting the case for it to reach $5, even if this 
impact unfolds gradually over time. From Tokenization To ETFs The third 
catalyst that Daodu identified is the tokenization of assets. Ripple’s 
expanded partnership with Archax aims to bring in “hundreds of millions of 
dollars” in tokenized equity, debt, and funds onto the XRP Ledger by mid-2026. 
Should the XRP Ledger capture even a modest 5-10% of the tokenized asset 
settlement market, the demand for XRP would increase significantly, further 
supporting its goal of reaching $5. In fourth place, macroeconomic policy 
plays a crucial role in shaping XRP&#8217;s upside potential. Anticipated rate cuts 
by the Federal Reserve (Fed) would likely decrease returns on cash and short- 
term bonds, traditionally driving capital toward riskier assets that offer 
growth and liquidity. Related Reading: New Crypto Tax Proposal: Bipartisan 
House Duo Pushes For Stablecoin Safe Harbor Lastly, recent on-chain data 
points to a noteworthy change in supply dynamics. Exchange-held XRP has 
decreased, with 1.35 billion XRP removed from exchanges in less than two 
months. Balances plummeted from approximately 3.95 billion tokens to about 2.6 
billion, with more than a billion leaving in just a short span of three weeks. 
Such withdrawals are indicative of a behavioral shift among holders, as many 
are opting to move XRP into long-term storage solutions. Daodu posits that 
reaching the $5 mark will not stem from a singular headline or moment of 
exuberance. It will necessitate a convergence of multiple factors, including 
strong ETF inflows, institutional adoption, and favorable macroeconomic 
conditions. As of this writing, the altcoin was trading at $1.88, dropping by 
almost 50% from all-time high levels reached back in July of this year.

These Five Key Drivers Could Boost XRP To $5 By 2026, Claims Top Analyst

XRP price failed to surpass $1.950 and started another decline. The price is 
now correcting gains and might struggle to stay above $1.850. XRP price 
started a downside correction and tested the $1.850 zone. The price is now 
trading below $1.880 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a new 
bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.870 on the hourly chart of 
the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another 
increase if it clears $1.90. XRP Price Starts Fresh Decline XRP price started 
a downside correction below the $1.9350 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The 
price dipped below the $1.90 and $1.880 levels to enter a negative zone. The 
price even dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from 
the $1.770 swing low to the $1.9578 high. Besides, there is a new bearish 
trend line forming with resistance at $1.870 on the hourly chart of the 
XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $1.880 and the 100-hourly Simple 
Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face 
resistance near the $1.870 level and the trend line. The first major 
resistance is near the $1.880 level, above which the price could rise and test 
$1.90. A clear move above the $1.90 resistance might send the price toward the 
$1.950 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.00 
resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.050. More 
Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $1.90 resistance zone, it could start a 
fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.8420 level and 
the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.770 swing low 
to the $1.9578 high. The next major support is near the $1.80 level. If there 
is a downside break and a close below the $1.80 level, the price might 
continue to decline toward $1.770. The next major support sits near the $1.750 
zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.720. Technical 
Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the 
bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is 
now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $1.8420 and $1.80. Major
