China’s cutting-edge AI platform, DeepSeek AI, predicts respectable returns by Christmas for holders of leading altcoins.
Bitcoin ($BTC), with a market valuation hovering around $2 trillion, has advanced 1% in the past 24 hours to trade at $108,717 – only 2.8% shy of its record high of $111,814 set on May 22.
Heightened geopolitical instability in the Middle East triggered a risk-averse sentiment among investors, dampening both crypto and equity markets. However, signs of ceasefire negotiations have recently revived optimism across broader asset classes.
Market bulls are hopeful this crypto rebound can gather pace and transform into a full-scale bull market. Should that materialize, it could eclipse the historic rally of 2021.
By analysing project fundamentals, regulatory trends, and historical pricing, DeepSeek AI has spotlighted these altcoins as prime candidates for significant gains in the latter half of 2025.
Ripple ($XRP): DeepSeek AI Predicts Substantial Gains for This Cross-Border Payment Leader
DeepSeek’s AI analysis predicts Ripple’s XRP is primed for a powerful surge, potentially reaching $5 by year-end – more than doubling its current ~$2.34 price.
Key drivers include Ripple’s decisive legal victory over the SEC, accelerating institutional adoption, and speculation about a potential XRP spot ETF approval in the U.S.
Previously, the United Nations Capital Development Fund recognised XRP for its rapid, low-cost, and regulation-compliant transactions, reinforcing its role in global payments.
Ripple’s drawn-out legal battle ended in March after the SEC formally withdrew its lawsuit, following a landmark 2023 ruling that declared XRP’s retail sales were not securities transactions. This resolution has reignited investor confidence throughout the crypto sector.
Currently trading slightly above $2, analysts see $3 as the next significant resistance barrier. If XRP can break through, Claude AI projects a move toward $5 before year-end.
From a technical perspective, a bullish flag pattern was identified between January and April, suggesting strong upside potential in the near term.
In the last 24 hours alone, XRP has risen 3% in 24 hours and 7% in 7 days, outperforming Ethereum, Solana and Bitcoin within the same timeframe. XRP is now up 448% from its price this time last year, while Bitcoin only appreciated 89%—a clear sign that XRP is where the gains have been this year.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): DeepSeek AI Predicts Potential for 4X Returns by December
Since its launch in August 2020, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has risen to become one of the most prominent meme tokens, commanding a market cap over $6.8 billion.
Trading at $0.00001161 today, SHIB suffered a minor 1.9% dip overnight although, broadly speaking, the meme asset appears ready to break out from two converging technical setups: a descending wedge (November–March) and a bullish flag pattern established in mid-May.
Immediate resistance lies near $0.000022, with potential upside extending to $0.00003. According to DeepSeek AI, if momentum persists, SHIB could rally to the $0.0005 region by year-end, marking an approximate rise of more than 4X from current prices.
Spurring this bullish forecast is Shiba Inu’s evolution from a pure meme coin to a utility-based ecosystem.
Built atop Ethereum, SHIB has enhanced its scalability with Shibarium, its own Layer-2 network, enabling faster transactions, reduced fees, expanded dApp integrations, and enhanced privacy features.
Bonk ($BONK): Solana’s Top Meme Token Nears Breakout Territory
Bonk ($BONK), a doge meme coin native to Solana, debuted on December 25, 2022, sparking a holiday rally that added 34% to the price of Solana’s $SOL 34% within two days, igniting widespread enthusiasm within its ecosystem and ensuring the project’s first impression was etched into the memories of the Solana network.
Currently trading at $108,717 after rising 51% in seven days and 78% in the last fortnight, DeepSeek AI predicts BONK could easily double or treble over the remainder of the year.
BONK’s $1.7 billion market cap has secured a ubiquitous presence in Solana’s decentralised landscape, with use cases including tipping, micropayments, bot trading, and meme-based NFT collateralisation.
Technical analysts are observing a descending wedge pattern forming since late November – a well-known bullish setup suggesting an imminent upward breakout.
If broader conditions remain favourable, BONK could soon test the $0.00003 and $0.00005 resistance levels, which acted as a ceiling for most of 2024 and this year so far.
At its current price, BONK remains about 62.1% below its all-time high of $0.00005825 reached in November 2024. However, if crypto momentum continues into summer, a new peak may soon follow.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER): Next-Generation Layer-2 Meme Protocol Ready for Launch
In addition to established altcoins, DeepSeek AI predicts that new projects will vie for investor attention as the bull market gains traction.
One such upcoming contender is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a Layer-2 protocol blending meme branding with robust blockchain utility, currently in its presale phase.
Though not yet listed on major exchanges such as Gemini, HYPER has raised over $12 million during presale, with many expecting potential 10X returns upon public launch.
Built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), HYPER extends smart contract functionality to Bitcoin via its Layer-2 infrastructure. Its Canonical Bridge enables quick, affordable transactions and supports various dApps, from DeFi to NFTs.
Coinsult security audits have reported no critical vulnerabilities, boosting investor trust. The native $HYPER token serves as a governance, staking, and utility token within the ecosystem, offering staking yields as high as 393% APY.
