Younghoon Kim, a prominent commentator, recently said he expects XRP to outpace gold and silver in 2026. He made these comments amid a strong rally in precious metals and ongoing market volatility in late 2025. Market metrics show Santiment sentiment for XRP remains deeply negative, and bearish mentions are higher than in November.
XRP currently trades around $1.87, down about 14.99% for 2025, while silver rose roughly 167.70% for the year. Silver hit about $84 per ounce and briefly lifted its market cap to roughly $4.40 trillion, momentarily exceeding the market value of NVIDIA. The token’s market cap is about $113.3 billion, far below gold’s $31.72 trillion and silver’s roughly $4.49 trillion.
Kim posted on social media that, "My prediction: XRP may outperform gold and silver in 2026." He also wrote, "Gold and silver are pumping. XRP will be next." He cited seasonal patterns and technical indicators and noted "many signals" that could point to an all-time high in January 2026. Kim has also suggested a longer-term scenario in which XRP could reach $1,000 within a decade under certain macroeconomic conditions.
Data from CCN analyst Victor Olanrewaju and market trackers underline the scale of the precious metals rally. Santiment describes the token’s outlook as a "fear zone" with pessimism at its highest since October. Time will tell whether the 2026 forecast is borne out as sentiment and market conditions evolve.
