We Asked Grok Whether XRP or Solana Reaches a New All-Time High First

XRP and Solana both sit well below their record highs with real catalysts in play, so we put the question to Grok and its answer comes with a tension that cuts both ways.

XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) and Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) are both trading well below their record highs, and both have genuine catalysts working in their favor heading into the rest of 2026. Rather than picking a side ourselves, we asked Grok which of the two reaches a new all-time high first? 

We examine Grok’s pick, the math behind how far each token actually needs to climb, and whether the current market setup for ETF flows, regulation, and network activity backs up the reasoning Grok gave for its choice.

Which Coin Does Grok Think Reaches Its ATH First?

Grok picked Solana (SOL) as the most likely coin to reach a new all-time high first. XRP currently trades near $1.35, with a market cap of about $85 billion, and Solana’s price trades around $99 to $100, with a market cap of about $58 billion. 

XRP’s recent all-time high was roughly $3.84, set in 2018, while Solana’s all-time high was about $293 to $295, set in January 2025. XRP is about 63% below its recent high, meaning it would need to rise roughly 2.7 times its current price to reclaim it.
