XRP Faces Uncertain Future Amid Governance and Treasury Worries
Key Summary
XRP's current price of $1.37, down 6.7% from last week, raises concerns about its long-term viability. A decade-old bug, a governance fight, and a $443 million treasury listing have tested the XRP Ledger's cap, governance, and its biggest treasury, leading Claude AI to put a 25% chance of XRP falling below $1 before mid-2027. Despite this, Claude believes XRP hasn't lost its foundation but rather its momentum, and estimates a year-end price range between $0.95 and $2.10.
