Ripple's XRP price has seen strong gains, gaining over 20 percent upon the release of the new lending platform Clearpool. The asset jumped 16 percent and touched a key price level. The upward push in value moved XRP to the fifth position in cryptocurrency rankings. Despite the significant increase, the price did not reach a top analyst's forecasted target. Previously, in 2020, a similar pattern of a drop and recovery occurred across trading platforms. According to the Robinhood Crypto Prediction Market, the price at 8pm EDT on August 20, 2026 was expected to be higher.
