Claude AI, developed by Anthropic and seen as a competitor to ChatGPT, is forecasting big price moves for three popular cryptocurrencies—XRP, Dogecoin, and Pi Coin—as the crypto market heads into the holiday season.

Recent activity in the crypto market supports this outlook. Bitcoin recently hit an all-time high of $124,128 before pulling back due to hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data. Despite that dip, the overall crypto market is showing signs of recovery. In the last 24 hours alone, total market value rose by 0.4%, reaching $4.11 trillion.

In the U.S., crypto regulation just took a big step forward. President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which requires stablecoins to be fully backed by reserves. Meanwhile, the SEC launched Project Crypto to help blockchain developers follow regulations more easily. These changes are setting the stage for a potential repeat of the explosive 2021 altcoin rally.

Claude AI is especially optimistic about XRP (Ripple). It sees XRP possibly climbing to $9–$10 by late 2025—roughly triple its current price near $3. XRP recently hit a new record of $3.65 in July, then dipped by 17% to about $3.03.

XRP’s momentum comes from strong partnerships and legal clarity. In 2024, the UN Capital Development Fund recognized XRP for cross-border payments. Earlier this year, the SEC dropped its lawsuit against Ripple, confirming that XRP is not considered a security when sold to regular investors.

Claude AI expects XRP to stay between $5 and $10, with a chance of hitting $20 if ETF approvals go through and more institutions start using it. Technical charts support this view too—XRP’s relative strength index (RSI) is around 54, and analysts have spotted three bullish flag patterns since summer.

In terms of yearly performance, XRP has jumped 429%—far outperforming Bitcoin (+96%), Ethereum (+96%), and Solana (+77%).

Pi Coin (PI) has also been getting attention for its unique mobile mining system, where users earn tokens by simply tapping the app daily. Right now, PI trades around $0.3556. Claude AI has a bold prediction: a jump to $500 before year-end. That would be a massive 1400x increase—but it’s a long shot given current market trends.

Since launching in February 2025, PI has seen wild price swings. It jumped 171% in May alone. Its RSI is currently 48, suggesting it’s fairly priced and still has room to grow. The Pi Network team continues to update their platform, with version 23 and a possible mainnet launch expected soon.

If user interest stays strong and U.S. regulation remains positive, PI might revisit its February high of $2.99 and even go higher. While hitting $500 seems unlikely, returning to the $3 mark by year’s end is within reach.

Dogecoin (DOGE), which started in 2013 as a meme coin, is now one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies with a market cap of $40.1 billion in today’s $4 trillion crypto space. Its strong community and increasing use in payments help keep it relevant.

Dogecoin often follows Bitcoin’s price movements but has proven resilient through market ups and downs. It’s currently priced around $0.2652—more than double what it was a year ago—outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, Shiba Inu, and Pepe Coin.

In just the last two weeks, Dogecoin gained 28%, pushing its RSI up to 75 before cooling down to 59 as traders took profits. Analysts have spotted bullish wedge patterns on DOGE’s charts from past months, suggesting more upside could be coming soon.

Claude AI predicts Dogecoin could reach $0.40 by December—a solid 50% gain from today’s price. Long-time fans of Dogecoin still dream of hitting the symbolic $1 mark, and Claude believes a strong bull run could make that happen.

Mainstream adoption is growing too: Tesla accepts DOGE for some merchandise, and payment apps like PayPal and Revolut now support Dogecoin transactions.

A new meme coin called Maxi Doge (MAXI) is also gaining traction during its presale phase. Inspired by Dogecoin but built on Ethereum, MAXI focuses on community engagement through Telegram chats, online contests, and influencer partnerships.

So far, Maxi Doge has raised over $2.2 million in its presale. Out of a total supply of 150 billion tokens, 25% is set aside for marketing and partnerships. Early buyers can stake their coins for high rewards—up to 146% APY—but returns will decrease as more users join.

MAXI is currently priced at $0.0002575 and will get slightly more expensive with each new funding round. The next round begins in less than 36 hours.

Investors can buy MAXI through the official website using wallets like MetaMask or Best Wallet.

With market momentum building and clearer crypto regulations in place, XRP, Pi Coin, Dogecoin, and newcomers like Maxi Doge could all see significant growth in the coming months.
