Cover your eyes now if you’re a member of the Ripple army. Anthropic’s Claude AI predicts XRP USD could crash as low as $0.05, with a base-case range of $0.10- $0.25. This assumes a full-blown crypto bull market fails, as XRP currently trades near $1.50–$1.52 as of September 29, 2026.
This outlook presents an extreme, unlikely bearish scenario for XRP, assuming major coordinated regulatory action in key jurisdictions, including the U.S., that imposes severe restrictions or bans on XRP and the XRP Ledger for institutional use.
This would be coupled with a significant security failure on the ledger, resulting in major delistings and a loss of confidence. In this speculative scenario, XRP could fall from around $1.50 to the $0.10–$0.25 range, with extreme targets as low as $0.05 by early 2027.
This Claude AI prediction contrasts sharply with Elon Musk’s Grok AI, which just yesterday predicted XRP could surge as high as $40 in a full-blown bull market.
Claude AI Makes Hellish XRP Price Prediction: Does the Technical Analysis Agree?
On the higher timeframes, XRP has been consolidating in the $1.45–$1.60 region after failing to sustain moves above $1.63–$1.66. While the recent structure has shown some recovery from the mid-September lows near $1.25–$1.30, the broader trend remains vulnerable.
In a standard market, a break below $1.40–$1.45 would open the door to retesting the $1.25–$1.30 support zone. Under the extreme negative regulatory and confidence-shock scenario outlined above, a decisive break of those levels would likely trigger cascading liquidations and measured-move downside projections from the recent range, theoretically extending into the $0.10–$0.25 zone if sell-side volume expands and major support levels fail in sequence.
RSI would likely move from neutral into deeply oversold territory during such a decline, which is typical of capitulation moves. Key nearer-term supports sit at $1.40–$1.45 and $1.25–$1.30; a sustained break below the latter would significantly weaken the structure and increase the probability of deeper downside.
Overall, while the current chart does not yet confirm a major breakdown, only an extraordinary loss of institutional confidence and regulatory access could justify the kind of multi-standard-deviation decline implied by the $0.05–$0.25 targets.

Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early Mover Upside as Bitcoin Tests Key Levels
Holding through this chop isn’t fun, and watching XRP stall at $1.50 resistance while the Fed dangles another hike doesn’t inspire confidence either.
At a $1.5 price tag and Claude AI predicting it could drop as low as $0.05 by 2027, this is no longer the kind of asymmetric return that rebuilds a portfolio. That math is pushing capital toward earlier-stage infrastructure plays with more room to run.
Enter Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), the first Bitcoin Layer 2 with native SVM integration. It powers smart contracts running faster than Solana itself, while settling back to Bitcoin’s base layer for security.
The presale has raised more than $33.1M at a current token price of $0.0136869, with staking rewards live now at a high of 30% APY.
Its Decentralized Canonical Bridge aims to fix the two things that have kept Bitcoin out of DeFi: sluggish transaction speed and zero programmability.
