XRP’s recent recovery has placed renewed attention on where the cryptocurrency could trade as the market enters September.
Among the latest projections is one from Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence platform, Grok, which has assessed XRP’s current technical position, broader market conditions, and the expected timing of U.S. crypto legislation.
Its base-case forecast points to a relatively measured move rather than an immediate return to the $2 level. The projection comes as XRP trades above $1.50 following a sharp move higher across the broader cryptocurrency market.
Recent market coverage indicates that XRP broke through the $1.44-$1.45 area that had limited its performance for much of the year before advancing above $1.50. This raises the question of whether XRP can sustain its latest gains or whether traders should take profits before the next major catalyst arrives.
Grok Predicts XRP at $1.65
According to Grok’s prediction, $1.65 is a reasonable spot projection for XRP on September 1, 2026. Grok stated, “Based on the current trading setup and market context, $1.65 is a reasonable spot projection for XRP on September 1, 2026.”
The AI model’s base case assumes that XRP will remain above the $1.55 area while consolidating below resistance between $1.70 and $1.75. Grok expects this consolidation to occur after XRP’s recent rapid advance, with the cryptocurrency potentially building momentum for another attempt at $2 later.
Grok’s assessment also places considerable importance on the timing of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, commonly known as the CLARITY Act. The legislation is designed to establish clearer regulatory definitions and responsibilities for digital assets in the United States.
Recent reports indicate that the bill has stalled in the Senate, although a procedural vote is scheduled for September 15. President Donald Trump also urged Congress to pass the legislation during an August 19 meeting with cryptocurrency executives.
CLARITY Act Timing Could Limit September 1 Catalysts
Grok’s $1.65 projection is partly based on the view that the CLARITY Act will not provide a major congressional catalyst before September 1. With the legislative process expected to receive greater attention later in September, XRP could enter the month without the direct impact of a Senate vote.
That does not necessarily mean the regulatory environment will remain unchanged. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently proposed its Regulation Crypto Assets framework, which includes exemptions for certain crypto-related fundraising activities and a conditional safe harbor under specific circumstances.
The SEC’s proposal follows an earlier March interpretation that established categories for digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital tools and payment stablecoins while providing additional guidance on when a crypto asset may fall outside securities regulation.
These developments could provide broader support for cryptocurrency markets even while Congress works toward legislation.
XRP Could Reach $2 Under a Bullish Scenario
While $1.65 represents Grok’s base case, its analysis leaves room for a substantially stronger move. Under its bullish scenario, XRP could trade between $1.90 and $2.05 on September 1 if speculative buying pushes the cryptocurrency through the $1.75 resistance zone.
Such a move would require XRP to maintain the momentum generated by its recent breakout and attract additional buying pressure.
For now, the $1.65 forecast represents a middle-ground projection.
