Recent market dynamics have given different reasons as to why the XRP price is programmed to shoot to double and triple digits. However, a supporter known as Remi Relief recently outlined a case for a four-figure XRP valuation, with the reason being that several unfolding events could lay the groundwork for a move toward $1,200 and even beyond. Remi Relief’s XRP price outlook is based on a combination of incoming regulations, geopolitical developments, and long-term pattern comparisons to XRP’s historic rally in 2017/2018. The Clarity Act And Regulatory Momentum According to XRP supporter Remi Relief, XRP’s price will break above $1,000 by the end of the cycle. This bullish outlook is based on how XRP reacts after the proposed Clarity Act is finally passed. The Clarity Act is an anticipated market structure bill that supporters believe could define clearer rules for digital assets in the United States and remove uncertainty around crypto regulation, including XRP. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is betting on the Clarity Act to be signed into law by April. Related Reading: What Happens If XRP Is Building Its Final Base At These Levels? However, Remi Relief noted that US President Donald Trump wants progress on the legislation’s passing as early as March 1. According to this view, regulatory clarity would significantly benefit Ripple Labs and, by extension, XRP. Advocates like Remi Relief are of the notion that once legal frameworks are solidified, institutional players that have will now be incentivized to begin allocating more capital into the crypto industry. As an institutional finance-centric crypto, XRP is well-positioned to attract a meaningful share of any large-scale inflows from financial institutions entering the crypto market. Another major point is with Ripple Treasury, which was recently introduced by GTreasury. Remi Relief noted that the platform handled $13 trillion in payments last year, none of which were processed through crypto rails. Imagine how much this would matter for XRP demand if even a fraction of that transactional volume were to migrate onto the XRP Ledger. The 2017/2018 Fractal And The $1,697 Projection XRP’s price action might currently be stuck under $1.50, but various technical analyses show it is still following price playbacks before bullish rallies in previous years. Remi Relief believes this is certainly the case, and a parabolic move is incoming, with a $1,697.27 XRP if the cryptocurrency follows the same pattern as the 2017/2018 cycle. Related Reading: XRP Emerges As Rotation Target As Investors Exit Bitcoin And Ethereum According to the analyst, not only is a $1200-$1700 target possible for XRP, but it’s also a conservative opinion. This plays into a prevailing sentiment where the $1,200 pathway is a high-conviction thesis among a segment of the XRP community. Some XRP proponents are even of the notion that market cap arguments of XRP reaching extravagant price targets like $1,000 and even five digits at $10,000 are misguided.

Michael Saylor kept buying while the market slid, and he did it out loud: “Neven been more bullish,” he said in an X post Thursday. His public posts and regulatory filings show Strategy continued to add to its Bitcoin pile even as price swings turned paper gains into big unrealized losses. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Record Red Month May Be Setting Up A Reversal: Analysts The firm’s recent regulatory filing confirms a fresh purchase this month, while market reports and accounting disclosures show the wider hit to corporate treasuries. Market Value Drop Shakes Portfolios Bitcoin has shed roughly $1.2 trillion of market value since October 2025, and the wider crypto market has lost about $2 trillion in the same stretch. Prices that once pushed Bitcoin past $126,000 have fallen back toward the mid-$60,000s. That scale of decline has pushed several companies that used Bitcoin as a treasury asset into heavy mark-to-market losses, changing how investors view corporate crypto exposure. Never Been More ₿ullish. — Michael Saylor (@saylor) February 19, 2026 Strategy Keeps Buying According to the company’s own filings, Strategy acquired 2,486 BTC for roughly $168 million during mid-February, bringing its holdings above 700k coins. The buy was announced in a Form 8-K and has been picked up across market outlets. At the same time, accounting rules that require unrealized gains and losses to be reflected in reports mean the firm’s quarterly statements showed multibillion-dollar swings tied to Bitcoin’s price. That reality has put Strategy on the front lines of the debate over holding large crypto positions on balance sheets. Price Action And Headlines Moved Markets Bitcoin’s trading has been choppy. Headlines tied to geopolitics and macro policy moved traders, and low-volume sessions made swings feel bigger. ETF outflows and a string of liquidations amplified the slide. Still, there were moments when buyers stepped in and pushed prices up briefly; those countermoves have been picked over by analysts hunting for a bottom.
