A 30% rise in investor interest. That is part of what Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg is predicting for XRP before December, on top of a price that he believes could double from where it stands today.<\/p>\n

The Road To Year End<\/h2>\n

McClurg, who leads one of the first firms to file for a spot XRP<\/a> exchange-traded fund in the US, laid out a three-phase path he expects the market to follow over the rest of 2026.<\/p>\n

The near term, he said, will be rough. Summer is expected to bring pressure across both equities and crypto broadly, and the lead-up to midterm elections will pull attention and money away from markets.<\/p>\n

But McClurg\u2019s outlook shifts sharply once the election season passes. He said post-midterm conditions are where ETF inflows are likely to accelerate, driven in part by the potential passage of the CLARITY Act<\/a> and growing activity around real-world asset tokenization.<\/p>\n

Institutional investors, he suggested, have been waiting for that kind of regulatory clarity before committing larger sums.<\/p>\n

ETF Inflows Already Building<\/h2>\n

The timing of his comments follows a strong week for XRP ETFs<\/a>. Net inflows hit $60 million last week, the best single-week performance so far in 2026, pushing the total cumulative figure to $1.39 billion. McClurg said he expects that number to grow another 30% by year end.<\/p>\n

XRP is trading around $1.40 at the time the comments were made. A doubling of that price by December would put the token above $2.80. Whether or not the prediction holds, the inflow data points to real and growing institutional appetite for XRP exposure through regulated fund products.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Specific Target With A Specific Timeline<\/p>\n

McClurg did not hedge his outlook with vague language. He put a number on it and attached a deadline. That kind of precision from a fund executive with direct skin in the XRP market tends to draw attention, and his comments are already circulating widely.<\/p>\n

The broader bet he is making rests on a combination of regulatory progress, post-election capital rotation, and continued ETF adoption. All three would need to show up more or less on schedule for his year-end target to come true.<\/p>\n

Summer, by his own admission, will test that thesis before the second half of the year gets a chance to prove it right.<\/p>\n
