XRP Is Up 46% in Three Months and Still Down 17% for 2026. Can It End the Year Green?

XRP climbed about 46% over the past three months, rising from roughly $1.05 in late June to $1.53 as of September 27, 2026. Even with that rally, the token remains down around 17% for 2026 and about 46% below its value from the same time last year. To finish 2026 “green,” the article says XRP would need to reach about $1.85 by December 31—the level where it started the year—implying a gain of roughly 21% from $1.53. That would mean adding around $20 billion in market value over the next three months. The pace has slowed, but U.S. spot XRP ETFs drew $75.6 million between Sept. 21 and Sept. 25.
