Claude, the advanced AI language model from Anthropic, predicts that by Christmas 2025, some mainstream altcoins will achieve moderate but promising gains.
Currently, Bitcoin ($BTC) has a market capitalization of $2 trillion, with a slight increase of 1% in the past 24 hours, currently priced at $109,308, just 2.2% lower than the historical peak of $111,814 set on May 22.
Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have prompted investors to seek safe havens, putting pressure on risk assets including cryptocurrencies and stocks. However, following the resumption of new ceasefire negotiations, market sentiment has gradually turned optimistic, driving overall prices up.
In this context, Claude AI specifically points out that the following altcoins have significant upside potential for the remainder of 2025:
Ripple ($XRP): Claude AI predicts that this global payment giant will experience a significant surge.
According to Claude AI's latest analysis, Ripple's XRP may experience a significant rise before the end of the year, with a target price potentially reaching $14, far exceeding the current market value of approximately $2.36, equating to more than a sixfold increase.
This bullish prediction is supported by several key factors: including Ripple's decisive victory in the lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the continued rise in institutional adoption, and the market's heated discussions regarding the potential approval of a U.S. XRP spot ETF.
The United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has previously emphasized XRP's advantages in transaction speed, cost efficiency, and compliance, making it more attractive in the global remittance network.
Ripple's years-long legal battle officially ended in March this year, with the SEC announcing the withdrawal of charges, following a key ruling in 2023 that clarified XRP's retail sales do not constitute securities offerings. This legal clarity has injected a strong boost of confidence into the market.
Currently, the trading price of XRP is slightly above $2, with analysts viewing $3 as a key short-term resistance level. If successfully broken, Claude AI predicts it could rise to $10 by the end of the year, and may even challenge a target price of $15 under strong market performance.
Technical charts indicate that XRP formed a bullish flag pattern from January to April this year, suggesting strong upward momentum may follow.
In the past seven days, XRP has accumulated an 8.2% increase, outperforming Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum during the same period.
Bitcoin Cash ($BCH): With renewed breakthrough momentum, can BCH return to the historical high of $3785?
Bitcoin Cash ($BCH) forked from Bitcoin in 2017 to address network scalability issues. Recently, this coin has once again garnered market attention. Over the past week, BCH has risen by 1.6%, with the current trading price at $508.
Claude AI predicts that BCH could rise to $800 by the end of the year, although it is unlikely to return to the historical peak of $3785.82 set in December 2017 in the short term.
Compared to Bitcoin, which has gradually shifted towards a 'store of value' narrative, BCH still adheres to its original mission - as a fast and scalable payment solution, an advantage derived from its larger block capacity. However, this scalability comes at a cost, as the degree of decentralization has declined with the gradual concentration of computing power.
Since April, the price of BCH has doubled, rising from a low of $251.54 to the current level. Analysts attribute part of this bullish momentum to a clear descending wedge pattern observed on the chart from late December last year to early March this year - this technical structure is often seen as a signal that prices are about to reverse upward.
If the current positive market sentiment continues, BCH may soon challenge the $600 resistance level and is expected to reach the $700 level before autumn arrives. If it can hold this range, the price may even exceed Claude's forecast.
Although there is still a significant distance from the peak in 2017, if investors shift their attention back to efficient cross-border payment tokens like XRP and BCH, Bitcoin Cash has a chance to regain market focus and is expected to double its price by the end of the year.
If there is a market correction, $420 will serve as a strong support level, while $600 is currently the key resistance point to watch.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Claude AI predicts an eightfold increase by the end of the year.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) was launched in August 2020 and quickly established its position as a mainstream meme coin in the crypto space, with a current market capitalization exceeding $7.1 billion.
SHIB is currently trading at $0.00001202, having risen 5.1% in the past seven days. Technically, the coin is on the verge of breaking through two key patterns: one is a descending wedge that has persisted from last November to this March, and the other is a bullish flag formed in mid-May.
The short-term resistance level is at $0.000022, and if this range is broken, the next target may point to $0.00003. If the upward momentum continues, Claude AI predicts SHIB could reach the $0.0001 area before the end of the year, achieving an eightfold increase compared to the current price.
SHIB is gradually transforming from a mere meme coin into a practical ecosystem, a trend that supports its optimistic market outlook.
As a project built on Ethereum, SHIB achieves scalability improvements through its own second-layer expansion solution, Shibarium, which brings faster transaction speeds, lower fees, broader integration of decentralized applications, and stronger privacy features.
TOKEN6900: Can this yet-to-be-listed new meme coin bring a 1000x return?
Although Claude AI has provided considerable profit forecasts for the above tokens, given their current large market capitalizations, their future upside potential is relatively limited.
For those investors worried that mainstream altcoins have gradually exhausted their explosive potential, a new wave of meme coins is emerging, many of which show more aggressive growth potential, with TOKEN6900 being one of the most noteworthy.
Among this wave of emerging meme coins, TOKEN6900 (T6900) stands out. It is a token based on the ERC-20 standard, and its presale activity just started last week.
TOKEN6900 has currently raised over $267,100, with a strong presale momentum and increasing market attention, indicating its potential for strong performance after listing.
Unlike meme coins that gradually shift towards practicality (like Shiba Inu), TOKEN6900 fully embraces its 'pure speculation' nature, driven by irony, marketing, and FOMO (fear of missing out). Its official website bluntly states: 'It is not built on fundamentals, but on delusions, irony, and the collective hallucinations of extremely addicted online traders.'
The project itself also pays tribute to another meme coin, SPX6900 - a coin inspired by the absurd aesthetics of the late 90s internet bubble, which serves as a cultural reference point for TOKEN6900.
The total issuance of TOKEN6900 is 930,993,091 tokens, just one more than SPX6900, reinforcing its competitive narrative of 'always a little more for you.' This strategy is clearly working, as the early response to the presale has shown strong resonance.
Although the token itself has no intrinsic function, holders can choose to stake for additional rewards while enjoying potential price appreciation.
