Spot XRP ETFs attract $1.14 billion inflows, while Bitcoin and Ethereum funds record outflows.
YoungHoon Kim, the world’s highest IQ holder, predicts XRP could flip Ethereum by 2026, even as the XRP remains under pressure in the short term. If that happens, XRP’s price could rise toward $6-$6.5 per token, even as it currently trades near $1.86 amid short-term market weakness.
XRP Could Flip Ethereum Market Cap
According to comments shared by YoungHoon Kim, growing interest in XRP is no longer limited to retail traders. He pointed to recent integrations beyond the XRP Ledger, including Solana-related developments, as a key reason behind shifting sentiment.
XRP’s focus on cross-border payments and fast settlement gives it a real use case that could attract banks and financial firms.
Kim, once known as a Bitcoin maximalist, now says XRP’s expanding role in payments and liquidity is changing the market narrative.

If XRP holds above this support, the first upside target sits near $2.20–$2.30, where the price previously faced resistance.
A clean break above this level could open the door to the next zone around $2.60 and later toward $3.30 if momentum builds.
