XRP Price At $23, Dogecoin To $2, And Solana At $1,800? Analyst Unveils 2026 Predictions

TL;DR

XRP’s Rise

Ever since it failed at $3.35 in mid-August, XRP was in a downward trend that drove it to a multi-month low at $2.7 at the beginning of September. However, the asset reacted well to this decline and bounced toward $2.90 in the following days.

It tried to challenge the coveted $3.00 resistance on a couple of occasions last week, and after a few failures, managed to break through it decisively on Friday. As many analysts predicted, this unlocked another leg up that pushed XRP to a monthly peak of $3.19 (on Bitstamp).

It’s interesting that this 13% weekly increase comes in a rather unfavorable period for the token and the company behind it. Recall that just a few days ago, whalesdisposedof over $120 million worth of XRP in just 24 hours. Additionally, the US SEC continues todelaymaking a decision on the spot XRP ETF applications, with the latest to see its deadline extended being the filing from Franklin.$3.6 and $6 Next?

Now that XRP has seemingly cleared the resistance at $3.00 and $3.05, Ali Martinez outlined the next target on its way to a new all-time high at $3.6. He is not alone in this projection, as Steph Is Crypto believes XRP is on the verge of another double-digit rally that will take it toward those levels as well.

CryptoInsightUK shared an identical chart, in which XRP could reach a “minimum target” of $3.60 if it closes above the descending trendline (currently above it).

Altcoin Gordon was even more bullish, indicating that once XRP breaks out of its months-long consolidation phase, it will go beyond the current all-time high of $3.65 and set a new one at $6.00.

Binance Coin (BNB) has experienced a notable price increase over the last 24 hours, climbing from a low of $904.63 to hit a new ATH above $940. The bullish climb has sparked speculation in the broader cryptocurrency space as to how high the BNB price could soar in the current market cycle.

BNB RSI shows room for more breakout

Notably, Binance Coin’s price uptick, combined with rising volume, has been viewed by traders as a continuation of its bullish rally. This has led to significant interest in the asset, with its Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 71.25, signaling that BNB is not yet excessively overbought and has room for further increase.BNB Price Chart | Source: TradingView">

With the recent institutional interest in BNB, this could drive prices further higher. Binance Coin has been added as a treasury asset by Nano Labs, which acquired $90 million worth of BNB. The interest might increase demand and support a price increase.

As of this writing, Binance Coin is changing hands at $941.52, representing a 3.52% increase in the last 24 hours. The trading volume has also surged by a significant 11.11% to $2.68 billion within the same time frame. A consistent trade above these levels could catalyze a new cycle top of $1,000, which is the next psychological level.

BNB versus Solana market cap battle heats up

If Binance Coin can post a further increase, it could reclaim the fifth position in terms of ranking by market capitalization. The coin briefly edged out Solana recently when its price hit $903, pushing its market cap to $125 billion.

However, Solana has since flipped BNB after it recorded gains of its own. Currently, Solana’s market cap is $131.47 billion, about $0.63 billion higher than BNB’s at $130.76 billion.

While the greater number of investors are eyeing the cycle top price of $1,000, Changpeng Zhao, Binance founder, has hinted at a $2,000 prediction. Market watchers are keenly observing how BNB plays out in its price outlook.

Ethereum has finally shaken off weeks of sideways movement, launching into a strong rally. The asset now sits at a decisive resistance band that will determine whether this breakout extends into a larger trend continuation or fades into another consolidation.Technical Analysis

By ShayanThe Daily Chart

On the daily chart, Ethereum continues to respect its broad ascending channel, with the latest surge carrying price directly into the $4.7K–$4.8K supply zone. This region has acted as a ceiling before, and its overlap with the upper channel boundary amplifies its importance.

A confirmed daily close above this barrier would significantly increase the probability of a retest of the $5K threshold. However, rejection here could trigger a cooling phase back toward the mid-channel zone around $4.4K–$4.2K, an area reinforced by trendline structure and key support for bulls to defend.

This week showed once again how politics, finance, and crypto are now fully intertwined.

Missed the action? If you need a catch-up, we’ve pulled together the highlights you should know.

#1 Creators Cash In on Tragedy With Charlie Kirk-Themed Coins

The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10 shocked the U.S. political scene and in crypto, it set off a disturbing rush. Within hours, Solana’s pump.fun was flooded with “RIPCharlieKirk” and “JusticeforCharlie” tokens, some spiking over 10,000% in a single day.

DexScreener data shows market caps running into millions, while one creator reportedly made $300,000 in just an hour. Watchdogs warn most of these tokens are scams, echoing the same hype-and-crash cycle seen in “Justice for Iryna” coins.

#2 Crypto ETF Decisions Pile Up as SEC Hits Pause

The U.S. SEC has once again hit pause on key crypto ETF proposals, extending review deadlines for funds from BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Franklin’s Ethereum staking amendment is now due November 13, while decisions on its Solana and XRP ETFs move to November 14. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust staking plan is pushed to October 30.

Chair Paul Atkins recently told the OECD forum that “Crypto’s time has come.” Yet the agency has over 90 ETF filings still waiting for clarity.

#3 Senate Democrats Unveil Rival Crypto Market Framework

Twelve Senate Democrats have released their own framework for crypto regulation, setting up a clash with Republicans who want to push their bill through by October. The plan outlines “seven key pillars,” calling for stronger consumer safeguards, rules to curb illicit finance, and clearer oversight by the SEC and CFTC.

It also highlights gaps in the spot market and even takes aim at President Trump’s crypto ties. Whether this competing approach gains traction remains uncertain but the fight for market structure is far from over.

#4 Rex-Osprey Spot XRP ETF Debut Moved to September 18

XRP is finally stepping onto Wall Street’s main stage. The first U.S. spot XRP ETF, run by Rex Shares and Osprey Funds, will begin trading on September 18 after a short delay. The SEC completed its 75-day review with no objections, clearing the way for a fund that actually holds XRP – not futures.

For investors, that means simple, regulated access through brokerage accounts. For XRP backers, it’s a long-awaited milestone that could bring steady inflows and fresh market credibility.

#5 Hyperliquid’s Stablecoin Vote Turns Into Power Struggle

Hyperliquid’s first stablecoin vote has quickly escalated into a fight watched across crypto. Paxos, Frax, Sky, Agora, Curve, OpenEden and Bitgo are all pushing to issue USDH, the exchange’s first dollar-pegged asset. Ethena pulled out this week and endorsed newcomer Native Markets, sparking fresh talk of “backroom deals.”

The stakes are clear: whoever wins controls billions in stablecoin flows. For a lean 11-person team that processed $330B in July, the outcome could redefine Hyperliquid’s next chapter.

#6 Glassnode: BTC, ETH, and SOL Could Break Records Within Weeks

Crypto’s usual September slump may be on pause. Glassnode’s cofounders say Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are all within weeks of fresh all-time highs. Their warning to traders was blunt: “This is not the time to step in front of the freight train.”

With BTC bouncing at $116K, ETH at $4,720, and SOL at $242, momentum is building. Rate-cut optimism, institutional inflows, and corporate treasury buys are setting the stage for a historic breakout.

#7 3AC Drags SBF Back Into Court Over $1.5B Liquidation

The fallout from crypto’s biggest crashes is far from over. Three Arrows Capital has subpoenaed Sam Bankman-Fried and former FTX executives, claiming FTX forced through a $1.5 billion liquidation that pushed 3AC over the edge in 2022. Bankman-Fried, now in a California prison, is set to testify on October 14, 2025.

FTX’s estate denies the claim, saying only $82 million was liquidated. With billions still owed to creditors, this fresh clash between fallen giants could decide how crypto bankruptcies are settled in the future.

#8 Arkham Ranks the World’s Top Holders

Arkham Intelligence has released its 2025 ranking of the world’s largest crypto holders, showing just how concentrated the market remains. Together, the top entities control around $1.6 trillion in digital assets. Binance leads with more than $209 billion, followed by Coinbase at $155 billion, while Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto’s stash stands at $125 billion.

BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, and MicroStrategy also feature prominently. From exchanges and DeFi protocols to governments like the U.S. and U.K., the list highlights crypto’s global spread and growing institutional weight.

#9 BlackRock Explores Tokenized ETFs After Bitcoin Fund Success

BlackRock is looking beyond Bitcoin ETFs and into tokenized funds. Bloomberg reports the asset manager is exploring ETFs on blockchain, a move that could open the door to 24/7 trading and new uses in DeFi. It’s not new territory for BlackRock – its $2.2B BUIDL fund is already the largest tokenized money market fund.

JPMorgan calls tokenization a “significant leap” for the $7 trillion fund industry, as Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon prepare similar launches.

#10 US Inflation Steady at 2.9% – Crypto Eyes the Fed

August CPI data came in right on target – 2.9% year-on-year, the highest since January, while core inflation stayed firm at 3.1%. On the surface, no surprises. But for traders, the message is clear: inflation isn’t cooling fast enough.

That leaves the Federal Reserve’s September 17 meeting in the spotlight, with markets split between a 25bps or even 50bps cut. For Bitcoin and risk assets, the weeks ahead could bring fresh swings as the Fed balances sticky prices with weak job data.

In the Spotlight 

Here’s a few quick hits you shouldn’t miss!

Vietnam Launches Five-Year Crypto Pilot: Hanoi has cleared a trial program for regulated trading, with strict rules on capital, ownership, and local control. Over 17 million Vietnamese already hold crypto, making the country one of the world’s hottest markets.

Kazakhstan Eyes State Digital Asset Fund: President Tokayev has called for a national crypto fund to hold strategic reserves and expand digital finance. Crypto use in the country has doubled in two years, signaling rapid adoption.

Kraken Brings Tokenized Stocks to Europe: The exchange has rolled out Backed’s xStocks, giving EU users access to US equities through tokenized certificates. It joins Gemini and Robinhood in the race, as Nasdaq eyes its own move.

Ledger Flags Failed NPM Supply Chain Attack: Hackers tried to slip malicious code into popular JavaScript packages, aiming to hijack crypto transactions. Coding errors exposed the scheme early, sparing users but Ledger warns software wallets remain just one slip away from disaster.

First Dogecoin ETF Set for Sept. 11 Debut: Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas says Rex-Osprey’s DOGE fund (ticker: DOJE) will mark the “memecoin ETF era.” The launch comes as CleanCore Solutions also disclosed a $68M Dogecoin treasury purchase.

What’s Next for Crypto?

Major shifts to expect ahead

• Memecoins’ surge alongside ETFs shows they’re entering the mainstream conversation.
• The U.S. fight over crypto rules is heating up, and whatever comes out of it will finally bring some clarity.
• Big players like BlackRock and Kraken are pushing tokenization, and that shift is starting to reshape how markets actually work.
• Governments from Vietnam to Kazakhstan are treating crypto as part of national strategy, increasing adoption.
• With rate cuts on the table and momentum building, Bitcoin and other majors could be on the edge of new highs.

That’s a wrap! Stay tuned for more updates on Coinpedia – I’ll see you next Saturday.

XRP saw buying pressure this week, marking a rise since Sept. 10 to surpass the much-watched $3 level once again.

At the time of writing, XRP was trading up 3.92% in the last 24 hours to $3.16 and will mark the fourth straight day of increase if price closes in green today. XRP is up 13% weekly and has reversed into green in September, a month deemed bearish for cryptocurrencies.

The price increase has pushed XRP market capitalization once again above $188 billion, currently at $188.66 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

This has lifted XRP once again into the top 100 ranking of global assets. With a market capitalization of $188.66 billion, XRP has surpassed American multinational investment bank and financial services company Citigroup, whose market valuation is currently above $183 billion, and Canadian multinational e-commerce company Shopify, whose market valuation sits at slightly above $185 billion.

XRP news

This week, 3iQ’s XRPQ ETF revealed a new milestone, exceeding record CAD 150 million in AUM. Launched earlier this year, the XRP ETF quickly established itself as the largest among Canadian peers. The record AUM highlights XRP investor demand in Canada’s digital asset ETF markets.

In separate news, REX-Osprey ETFs have cleared the SEC’s 75-day review and are expected to list soon, with products including Dogecoin, XRP and Bitcoin ETFs. The ETFs will launch under the Investment Company Act of 1940 structure unless the SEC raises late objections.

In separate news, the SEC has extended the review period for the Franklin XRP ETF until Nov. 14, 2025.

TL;DR

Dogecoin $DOGE still in the BUY zone. This bullish breakout will melt faces! pic.twitter.com/JNgCmRJfY0

— Ali (@ali_charts) September 12, 2025

Perhaps driven bycorporate purchasesor ETF hype, DOGE’s price has flown out of the gates in the past several days. Recall that the asset was stuck in a consolidation mode around $0.22 for a few weeks, until September 7.

That’s when the breakout began, and its first stop was at $0.24. That resistance didn’t last long, as the largest meme coin broke it earlier this week. The rally drove it to its highest price point since early February at $0.30.

Milkybull Crypto weighed in on the matter, saying that Dogecoin’s rally has just begun. Although the analyst didn’t set a particular target, a previousreportnoted that DOGE could be on the verge of a triple-digit surge due to the tightening Bollinger Bands.

Satoshi Flipper posted a DOGE/USDT 8-hour chart, which shows the clear breakout, and concluded that this is how Dogecoin is reminding everyone why it’s the “king of memes.”

Despite the hype around the token and its upcoming ETF, it’s worth noting that the SECdelayedthe launch of the much-anticipated Rex-Osprey DOGE ETF (DOJE). It’s initial launch date was September 12, but it has been postponed to September 18 as of now.
