On March 17, Austin (@Austin_XRPL) told his followers XRP is undervalued — a $100 asset sitting at $1.50, he said, and 921 people liked it fast. As of the writing date, tokens are trading for $1.46. That’s 2.69% less than the previous day. Several signals on the blockchain and a growing cross-border payment sector both indicate the same thing. The market still hasn’t caught-up with what XRP will do in 2026.

Austin’s $100 Argument
Austin (@Austin_XRPL) stated:
“XRP is a $100 asset currently trading at $1.50. Act accordingly.”
The argument Austin builds centers on what he sees as XRP’s real value as a settlement layer — near-zero fees, second-speed cross-border payments finality, and a growing list of banks exploring it as a cheaper route than legacy rails. The gap in utility and price, according to him, is what also keeps the token at such a low value heading into 2026.
XRP Ledger growth reaches all-time high
This month, XRP Ledger growth reached 7.7 million non-empty wallets — a record the network had never touched before. Pumpius @pumpius pointed out March 16 for the strongest evidence. The number of daily active addresses reached 46,767 – the most in the past two months.
Broader Picture
The institutional trend is not always $100 but it’s the direction that keeps on pointing in the same direction. Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick projected $4–$8 billion in XRP ETF inflows by end of 2026, with an $8 price target. Deutsche Bank, Société Générale, and Aviva Investors also tied themselves to Ripple early this year — and taken together, those moves suggest XRP’s real value sits well above where the market prices it right now.
The XRP Ledger is expected to reach all-time-highs in growth, and a deeper cross-border network will only contribute to this by 2026.
