Anthropic’s AI model, Claude, anticipates that multiple leading altcoins could achieve unprecedented highs in late 2025, propelled by Bitcoin’s formidable upward trajectory.
Bitcoin shattered records last Monday by hitting $122,838, a feat analysts argue could accelerate global crypto adoption if the bullish momentum continues.
This strong surge has reignited optimism throughout the digital assets sector, with investors predicting that the forthcoming bull cycle might surpass 2021’s legendary rally, driving prominent altcoins into unexplored valuation ranges.
Below are the cryptocurrencies Claude AI expects to deliver sizable returns by Christmas.
XRP (Ripple): Claude AI Predicts 6X Price Growth Within Five Months
Claude predicts that Ripple’s cross-border payments leader XRP (XRP), could soar to $20 by the end of 2025, marking a more than sixfold rise from its present value of approximately $3.22.
This bullish prediction stems from XRP’s strong performance this year. On July 18, XRP achieved a fresh all-time high of $3.65, surpassing its 2018 peak of $3.40, indicating ongoing upward momentum. In the last fortnight, it added 32%, outperforming Bitcoin and all other cryptos on this list.
Investor sentiment has strengthened by expanding use cases, increasing regulatory clarity, and speculation about an XRP spot ETF, which altogether could drive strong capital inflows.
XRP enables quick, low-cost, and compliant international payments. In 2024, the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) acknowledged XRP as an intermediary-free blockchain-based solution to global transacting.
A landmark 2023 court ruling concluded that Ripples sale of XRP to retail customers did not qualify as securities sales, effectively neutralising the SEC’s previous aggressive approach toward Ripple and other altcoins.
By March, Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced the SEC had formally dropped the case, removing a major obstacle and lifting broader market confidence.
Currently, XRP trades 11.7% below its ATH. Should it decisively break above this level, Claude’s conservative $10 target by year-end appears well within reach.
XRP’s relative strength index (RSI) downtrending from 62 suggests potential short-term profit-taking but the current correction will help solidify its robust recent gains.
In an extremely bullish scenario, Claude believes XRP could double this forecast if major catalysts emerge, such as favourable US regulatory shifts under the Trump presidency, triggering a rally surpassing 2021’s historic crypto boom.
Over the past year, XRP has soared 411%, outperforming Bitcoin’s 80% over the period.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Claude AI Forecasts 7x Increase Before Year-End
Launched in August 2020, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has become the second-largest meme coin, rivalling Dogecoin, with a market cap nearing $8.2 billion.
Currently priced at $0.00001387, SHIB has risen 11.5% in the last two weeks and 20% over the previous thirty days. It is approaching breakouts from two key technical patterns: a descending wedge that formed between November and March, and a bullish flag identified in mid-May.
Major resistance levels occur around $0.000022, with potential upside to $0.00003. If current momentum sustains, Claude projects SHIB could hit $0.0001 by year-end, representing a little over a sevenfold increase from current levels.
SHIB’s 2,080% explosive burn rate will likely facilitate this. The team recently burned 1.3 billion $SHIB tokens in seven days.
SHIB’s transformation into a utility-focused ecosystem also gives it lucrative prospects.
Built on Ethereum, SHIB has improved scalability through its Layer-2 solution, Shibarium, which enables faster transactions, reduced gas fees, better dApp integration, and enhanced privacy features.
Pi Network ($PI): Claude AI Predicts Possible 200X+ Surge by Year-End
Pi Network has changed mining with its “tap-to-mine” approach, allowing users to earn cryptocurrency on their smartphones without expensive hardware or technical expertise.
Trading near $0.4448 currently, Claude AI projects that widespread adoption could see Pi Network surge over a two-hundredfold to reach $100 by year-end.
Unlike conventional mining models, users mine PI by simply tapping the app once per day, an approach that has resonated with crypto newcomers.
Since its launch in February 2025, PI has demonstrated high volatility. For instance, in early May, its price skyrocketed from $0.58 to $1.57 within four days, a dramatic 171% rally spurred by revived institutional interest.
PI’s RSI now sits at 41 and is downtrending amidst a broader sell-off. This is likely to depreciate the price a little in the near term, however, once it hits the oversold 30, investors will be buying back in to take advantage of the discounted price for this unique project with strong fundamentals
If PI joins the inevitable crypto recovery rally may surpass its $3 resistance later this summer, potentially setting a new all-time high above February’s $2.99 peak.
With its user-friendly interface and scalable Layer-1 blockchain, Pi Network is poised for rapid global adoption, potentially reaching the $5 mark even without an overall market boom. However, achieving Claude’s loftier forecasts of $60-$100 will depend on broader user growth and regulatory green lights in the US.
TOKEN6900: Meme Coin Targeting 1000X Returns
While Claude predicts major altcoins will see significant gains, their large market caps may limit exponential growth potential.
For traders aiming for outsized returns, a new wave of meme coins has emerged with the promise of extraordinary profits.
Among them is TOKEN6900 (T6900), an ERC-20 meme token that launched its presale two weeks ago.
To date, TOKEN6900 has secured over $1,080,000 in presale funds, signalling strong early investor interest and suggesting considerable upside post-launch.
Unlike utility-focused tokens, TOKEN6900 embraces its identity as a purely hype-driven coin, relying on irony, viral marketing, and FOMO to accelerate growth.
As its website declares: “It’s Not Built On Fundamentals. It’s Built On Delusion, Irony, And The Collective Hallucination Of Terminally Online Traders.”
The token references SPX6900, another meme coin mocking exaggerated market valuations reminiscent of the dot-com bubble era.
With a total supply of 930,993,091 tokens – precisely one more than SPX6900’s presale supply – it reinforces its satirical branding approach.
This strategy appears to be working, as evidenced by its swift fundraising. Despite lacking inherent utility, TOKEN6900 offers staking options to generate passive income alongside speculative price appreciation.
Investors can access the presale on its official website at the current price of $0.0067.
As prices are scheduled to rise within the next 48 hours, early buyers may secure the best entry points for potential future gains.
Keep up to date with the project by following its official X and Instagram accounts.
