DeepSeek AI Predicts Price Paths for XRP, BTC, and SOL by End of 2025
DeepSeek AI has released late-2025 price-path forecasts for major cryptocurrencies XRP, Bitcoin (BTC), and Solana (SOL) with scenario extensions into 2026.
For XRP, the bull case targets a price range of $3.50 to $5.00 by 2026. This optimistic scenario is supported by regulatory clarity following the SEC case, increased adoption of Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) integrations, and favorable macroeconomic conditions that may encourage Federal Reserve stimulus. Conversely, the bear case projects XRP to fall to between $0.35 and $0.60 by 2026, driven by ongoing regulatory pressure, slower ODL adoption, competition from stablecoins and CBDCs, and bearish macroeconomic factors that could keep XRP near 2024 lows.
Bitcoin's bull case anticipates a surge to between $180,000 and $250,000 by early 2026, with the upper target plausible if the United States strengthens its leadership role in cryptocurrency. The bear case envisions a bottom around $56,000 to $70,000 in a prolonged bear market, contingent on stalled crypto adoption, plateauing ETF inflows, and tighter macroeconomic conditions.
Solana's bull case foresees a 150% upside, reaching $400 to $600 by 2026, supported by the blockchain's scalability and broad crypto adoption. Risks that could weigh on SOL include tokenomics inflation, potential network instability, and developer migration to rival projects. The bear case predicts SOL may fall to the $50 to $80 range by 2026 due to these factors.
Additionally, Maxi Doge, an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum PoS, has raised approximately $4.4 million in its presale phase. It offers up to 71% annual percentage yield (APY) on staking, with the current price around $0.0002745 and staged price increases. Presale details are available through Maxi Doge's official site and channels.
The article, dated December 23, 2025, frames these forecasts as high-risk and not financial advice, highlighting volatility and macro and sector factors as key drivers influencing these price paths.
