Analysts warn that XRP supply shocks could occur within a year, as spot ETFs currently remove approximately 20 million tokens from circulation daily, with total inflows reaching $1.25 billion. ETF analyst Chad Steingraber describes this as the last selling opportunity for retail investors before institutional absorption accelerates. Long-term forecasts, including Flitpay's predicted 2040 price of around $82, as well as comparisons to silver's price surge in 2025, have sparked discussions about the potential for significant price increases in XRP by 2026.
