$27 XRP Dream? Water-Down Snap Signals BTC Outperformance

Outrageous bullishness or visionary? Popular tech crypto analyst lays out why a path to $27 could be underway.

The altcoin market is beginning to show immersive signs of diversification beyond Bitcoin (BTC), with Ripple coin (XRP) leading the narrative. Singled out by CNBC as the ‘top crypto play of the year’ early in 2026, XRP’s mainstream dominance became clearer than ever since the $50M settlement with the SEC after a 6 year-long legal battle.

Double-Digit XRP If BlackRock ETF Manifests Itself?

Now, the weekly XRP/BTC charts suggest an upward explosion, notes Bird. This XRPL developer expects XRP’s price to go into double digits for the first time ever, specifically towards the $27 target. Market watchers like Zach Rector are also pursuing the narrative of XRP eventually getting a BlackRock-powered exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Previously, the financial heavyweight debunked these rumours, but the Clarity Act’s progress is leaning towards clearer rules towards XRP & the RLUSD stablecoin. Notably, Ripple coin-based ETFs topped other major altcoins besides Ethereum (ETH), currently at $1.23 billion inflows, putting the cumulative assets at $992 million since the launch on traditional stock markets.

Right now, XRP-based ETFs saw 6 consecutive days of inflows. However, that didn’t stop Ripple Ledger’s native coin from slipping beyond 37% in a month. Trading at $1.36, XRP’s price has lost the key barrier of $1.40 as Bitcoin (BTC) slumped towards $65K on Thursday evening.

On the Derivatives side, liquidations have hit the bulls hard, now accounting for $3.06 million out of $4.42 million in 24-hour liquidations. Moreover, CoinGlass data depicts how the Open Interest weighted funding rate has shifted into the red zone, with XRP bulls now paying for short-selling positions.
