Ripple is heading for its best year ever while XRP faces its worst since 2022

Ripple said on Oct. 28 that it expects to exit 2026 with a record $900 million annualized product revenue run rate, driven by institutional partnerships and demand for its products. At the same time, XRP is on track for its worst annual performance since 2022. The divergence matters to traders because it separates the private company's business momentum from the token's price action, which has historically been the main driver of XRP sentiment.
