We Asked AI to Predict XRP and ADA Prices If Iran Vs US War Escalates

With the world on edge after the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, crypto markets are already showing signs of stress. Ethereum dipped below $2,300, and altcoins across the board are flashing red. But what happens if things get worse?

To find out, we decided to ask GPT – one of the most advanced AI models – what might happen to the prices of two of the most popular altcoins: XRP and Cardano (ADA). At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.08, and ADA is hovering near $0.55.

The question we asked was simple: If the Iran–US conflict escalates into a broader war, what would be a realistic short-term downside for both XRP and ADA?

AI’s View on XRP: “Market Sentiment Will Lead the Way”

According to the AI, XRP’s current strength is mostly tied to investor confidence following Ripple’s ongoing progress with institutional partnerships and legal clarity. But in a risk-off environment like a war, those fundamentals may not be enough to hold the line.

“If the conflict escalates, XRP could see a short-term drop toward the $1.65 to $1.75 range,” the AI predicted. That would be a 15% to 20% decline from current levels. In a more severe panic scenario, where global markets sell off aggressively, the AI suggests a retest of $1.25 isn’t off the table – especially if liquidity dries up and sentiment turns fully bearish.

Cardano, on the other hand, may face a tougher road.

While ADA has strong long-term supporters and an active development community, the AI model noted that Cardano tends to bleed harder than XRP during sharp corrections. If war headlines dominate the market, ADA could drop to the $0.42 to $0.45 zone, which would be a 20% drop from current prices.

In a full panic, the model estimates ADA could even dip as low as $0.35. That would erase all of its gains from the past six months.
