British investment bank Standard Chartered reduced its year-end XRP price target to $2.80 from $8, a 65% cut following February's cryptocurrency market selloff.
The bank expects additional near-term price declines across digital assets.
Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered's global head of digital assets research, lowered forecasts for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and other major cryptocurrencies.
The revisions follow what analysts described as the sector's worst downturn in nearly four years.

XRP fell to $1.16 last month, its weakest level since November 2024, before recovering partially. The token trades approximately 59% below its July 2025 all-time high of around $3.40.
Standard Chartered's broader cryptocurrency forecast cuts include bitcoin reduced to $100,000 from $150,000, ether to $4,000 from $7,000, and solana to $135 from $250.
Kendrick warned that bitcoin could test $50,000 before recovering later this year.
