Standard Chartered Slashes XRP 2026 Price Target to $2.80 on ETF Outflows

Standard Chartered has lowered its 2026 XRP price projection from $8 to $2.80 after a broad cryptocurrency selloff and mounting ETF outflows. The bank also cut year-end targets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, while XRP ETFs saw assets retreat about 40% from a $1.6 billion peak in early January 2026. Market participants are now watching US legislative efforts such as the Clarity Act, which some expect could influence digital asset regulation and sentiment.
