Alibaba’s KIMI AI, a new rival to ChatGPT, has made bold predictions for the prices of Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, and Solana (SOL) in 2026—along with a warning for investors feeling the pressure of crypto FOMO this year.

According to the AI’s projections, if the crypto market enters a strong bull run, supported by clearer U.S. regulations, major cryptocurrencies could hit new record highs during the next market cycle.

Here’s a closer look at what KIMI AI expects for these top cryptos:

**XRP Price Prediction for 2026**

Ripple’s XRP kicked off 2026 with a strong performance, jumping 19% in the first week. It’s currently trading around $2.97. If the bull market continues, KIMI AI sees XRP possibly hitting $8 by 2027 — a massive 300% increase.

XRP had a breakout year previously, reaching an all-time high of $3.65 after Ripple won a key legal battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). That win helped reduce fears that XRP and similar tokens might be labeled as securities, creating a more stable outlook for investors.

With Donald Trump returning to office, a more crypto-friendly stance in the U.S. is helping calm investor worries. XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 54, showing neutral momentum and room to grow.

The recent approval of XRP spot ETFs in the U.S. is also attracting traditional finance investors, much like what happened with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

**Solana (SOL) Forecast for 2026**

Solana remains one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in the crypto world. With over $8.7 billion locked in its smart contracts and a market cap above $75 billion, SOL continues to attract developers and users.

ETFs focused on Solana by firms like Grayscale and Bitwise are fueling renewed interest. After a pullback at the end of 2025, SOL now trades at around $134 and is holding steady at key support levels.

If Bitcoin regains momentum and climbs past $100K again this year, KIMI AI predicts SOL could surge to $380 by 2027 — that’s about 184% higher than where it stands now and well above its previous record high of $293.

Solana also stands out for its use in real-world asset tokenization projects, with financial giants like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton building on its blockchain. This adds credibility and long-term growth potential to the network.

**Bitcoin (BTC) Outlook for 2026**

Bitcoin remains the king of crypto. In October, BTC hit a new all-time high of $126,080. According to KIMI AI, it could climb even further to $170,000 if current trends continue.

Often called “digital gold,” Bitcoin is still the go-to asset for investors looking to protect their money from inflation and economic uncertainty. It currently makes up $1.9 trillion of the $3.23 trillion crypto market and trades near $93,000.

Although Bitcoin saw a small dip recently after EU trade tensions with the U.S., most analysts believe that lower inflation and better regulation could help push BTC to new highs by mid-year.

There’s also speculation that the U.S. might create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — if that happens, Bitcoin’s long-term price could rise even more.

**Hot Crypto Presale: Maxi Doge ($MAXI)**

While big names like Bitcoin and Solana dominate headlines, some investors are diving into presales for riskier but potentially high-reward coins. One project getting attention is Maxi Doge ($MAXI), which has already raised $4.5 million.

Maxi Doge is a meme coin inspired by Dogecoin but with a funny gym bro personality. It’s meant to be bold, absurd, and unapologetically “degen” — traits that appeal to meme coin fans who love wild price swings.

Built on Ethereum’s eco-friendly proof-of-stake network, MAXI offers staking rewards up to 69% APY during presale stages. As more people join, those rewards shrink. The token is currently priced at $0.000279 and can be bought using MetaMask or Best Wallet.

With automatic price increases built into each funding round, early investors could see big gains — if demand continues after launch.

Maxi Doge is shaping up to be Dogecoin’s chaotic little brother… and it’s aiming to steal the spotlight.
