Ripple’s native token had a historic year as it finally managed to break a record set in early 2018 and painted a fresh all-time high of $3.65 in mid-July. Since then, though, the asset has been in a free-fall state, losing nearly 50% of its value and currently struggling to remain above $2.00.
When it comes to determining (or making an educated guess) its performance by the end of the year, we decided to ask around some popular AI models to get their perspective on the matter. Here’s how they disagree about XRP’s 2025 closing price.
Stagnation Predictions
ChatGPT was the most modest in its predictions for the weeks ahead. It believes that overall volatility in the cryptocurrency markets will pause by the end of the year, a forecast based on previous Holiday-season behavior. It noted that XRP is likely to remain sideways around its current levels and will end the year stuck somewhere between the crucial support at $2.00 and $2.20.
It justified its “status quo” forecast by outlining the following mostly bearish factors:
XRP is trading below key long-term moving averages (50-day and 200-day), a classic technical bearish signal.
Lack of strong breakout momentum or divergence in macro sentiment.
Continued market caution is reflected in volatility and fear indicators.
Moderate and Bullish
Google’s Gemini was more bullish on XRP as it noted that the asset has the legs for one more run by the end of the year. It said Ripple’s cross-border token can overperform if liquidity improves and there’s a “mild macro recovery,” which can send it flying to $2.80 or even $3.20 under more favorable conditions.
Other AI forecasts envisioned a massive rally by December 31. Perplexity noted that a surge beyond $4.00 is not out of the question entirely if the ETF demand skyrockets and aligns with the following factors:
Major technical breakout above key levels.
Renewed market risk appetite.
Favorable institutional or regulatory catalysts.
Nevertheless, even Perplexity admitted that this is a very dramatic and unlikely scenario. Although still plausible, it added that the actual chances for such a massive price surge for a large-cap altcoin in just a few weeks, given the current market sentiment, are slim. Its most likely scenario puts XRP somewhere in the middle between the predictions made by ChatGPT and Gemini, at around $2.30 – $2.50.
In conclusion, it’s easy to see why these AI models disagree when trying to forecast the price of a volatile altcoin in the next few weeks. In such a highly liquid and fluctuating environment, small shifts in sentiment or macro conditions can drastically tilt outcomes in days.
