XRP Price Analysis Today

XRP has slipped from about $1.40 on October 21 to roughly $1.26, trading within a 24 hour range of $1.20 to $1.31, as tracked on the XRP price page.

Daily volume of about $4.5 billion equals roughly 5.6% of market cap, a healthy turnover.

XRP remains about 67% below its all time high of $3.84 from January 2018, while holding just above $1.25 support.

What Could Drive XRP Over the Next 12 Months?

Here's what supports the bull case:

• Ripple National Trust Bank received final OCC approval on October 26 to manage RLUSD reserves and offer digital asset custody.
• BNY added XRP and RLUSD custody for institutions on October 27 and plans direct RLUSD minting.
• US spot XRP ETFs have recorded about $1.81 billion in cumulative net inflows, with $8.43 million added on October 29 alone.

RLUSD, Ripple's US dollar stablecoin, has reached about $2.5 billion, with more than $1 billion issued on the XRP Ledger.

The Ripple versus SEC case also ended in 2025, giving XRP clearer regulatory footing.

These developments sit at the centre of the XRP and XRPL price catalyst map.

How the XRP Escrow Release Schedule Affects Price

Ripple can release up to 1 billion XRP from escrow each month, with the next release due on November 1, 2026.

In recent months, Ripple has returned about 700 million XRP to escrow each time, leaving a net release of around 300 million XRP per month.

About 31.4 billion XRP remained in escrow as of late October.

According to Bitrue Research Institute, that pace could add roughly 3.6 billion XRP to circulation over 12 months, so demand must keep growing just to hold price steady.

XRP Price Targets for 2027

Bitrue AI analysis maps three scenarios for the next 12 months.

Here's how they compare:

• In the base case, XRP trades between $1.20 and $1.80 as adoption grows while escrow adds supply.
• In the bull case, faster RLUSD growth, rising ETF inflows and stronger crypto markets lift XRP towards $2.50, about 98% above today's price.
• In the bear case, a Bitcoin led sell off pushes XRP below $1.161 and towards $0.90, about 29% lower.

According to Bitrue AI analysis, a daily close above $1.40 would be the first sign that the bull case is building.
