Before getting elected, he promised that he would turn the United States of America into the crypto capital of the world, and just yesterday at Davos, he reiterated that he\u2019s working towards achieving this goal.<\/p>\n<p>Just a couple of days ago, we <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/one-year-of-crypto-president-bitcoin-down-15-altcoins-crushed-70-90\/\">examined<\/a> how his term impacted crypto prices so far, and despite what seems to be his best intentions, the market is suffering. Since he was inaugurated, Bitcoin lost 15% of its price, while the majority of altcoins are down between 70% and 90% \u2013 not exactly what the majority expected. But then again, markets rarely behave the way the majority expects them to.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, we decided to conduct an interesting experiment and poke the virtual brains of one of the most popular AI models out there \u2013 Gemini, asking it about its opinion on the best crypto performer until the end of Trump\u2019s term.<\/p>\n<p>The answer might surprise you.<\/p>\n<h2>A Speculative Conversation<\/h2>\n<p>Prompted to choose between BTC, ETH, and XRP, Gemini took an interesting approach in what was prompted to be a speculative conversation. The AI quickly identified what many might consider the outlier between the three.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to speculate on highest percentage return between now and 2029, the answer is likely XRP.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are a lot of nuances to this answer, so let\u2019s break them down. First things first, it did confirm that Bitcoin remains the safest bet, while XRP is \u201cthe most aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reason?<\/p>\n<p>According to Gemini, Trump\u2019s administration is \u201cdismantling\u201d the regulatory roadblocks that have been suppressing XRP\u2019s price for years. It argues that during the Biden term, the altcoin was suppressed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and their lawsuit against Ripple Labs \u2013 something that\u2019s already <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-vs-sec-lawsuit-closure-paves-the-way-for-xrp-etfs-btc-erases-recent-gains-weekly-recap\/\">behind our backs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically:<\/p>\n<p>XRP has been artificially suppressed by legal uncertainty since 2020. With the lawsuit settled and US banks now legally clear to use XRP\u2019s on-demand liquidity (ODL), it has the most \u201ccatch-up\u201d growth to do.<\/p>\n<h2>But There\u2019s More<\/h2>\n<p>Moving aside from XRP, Gemini considers Bitcoin to no longer be just a trade \u2013 it\u2019s now a national policy thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/market-tanks-after-trump-signs-executive-order-to-establish-strategic-bitcoin-reserve\/\">establishment<\/a> of the Strategy Bitcoin Reserve in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Gemini argues that by treating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, the administration has \u201ceffectively put a government floor under the price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just yesterday, Trump also hinted that he expects to sign additional crypto-oriented regulations soon. It\u2019s important to add, though, that the CLARITY Act, which he was likely referencing, is reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-market-structure-bill-reportedly-set-back-for-weeks\/\">facing a delay<\/a> of at least several weeks, possibly even months, as the Senate Banking Committee is switching its focus to housing legislation.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the AI said about BTC:<\/p>\n<p>It captures the massive institutional capital that wants exposure to crypto without regulatory risk. It is the \u201cKing\u2019s Guard\u201d of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, Gemini also talked about Ethereum, calling it the \u201ctech and utility play,\u201d outlining that the protocol would win the most thanks to deregulation rather than a specific executive order targeted at it.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-btc-or-eth-the-winner-of-the-trump-presidency-is-the-one-the-sec-hated-most-gemini-speculates\/\">XRP, BTC, or ETH?
