Google’s Gemini AI, a powerful competitor to ChatGPT, is forecasting big gains for three popular altcoins: XRP, Pi Coin, and Shiba Inu. According to Gemini’s models, these cryptocurrencies could deliver much higher returns than expected — and possibly much sooner.

**Crypto Market Overview**

Bitcoin, the top cryptocurrency, is currently trading about 4% below its all-time high of $124,128. It recently rose 2%, which helped push the total crypto market cap to $4.19 trillion. October, often called “Uptober” by crypto fans, is historically one of Bitcoin’s best-performing months. This trend could lead to new highs across the market.

Adding to the momentum, U.S. lawmakers have made progress on crypto regulation. In July, President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which is the first U.S. law to clearly regulate stablecoins by requiring full reserves. The SEC also introduced Project Crypto — a major update aimed at better regulating digital assets.

With clearer rules now in place, analysts say the next altcoin boom could be even bigger than the one in 2021. If Gemini’s predictions play out, XRP, Pi Coin, and Shiba Inu could be at the front of this rally.

**XRP Price Prediction and Outlook**

Gemini AI sees XRP reaching $5 by the end of 2025 — a 68% jump from its current price of $2.98.

XRP has been showing strength this year. On July 18, it hit $3.65, beating its 2018 high of $3.40. But it later dropped 18% due to global economic and political tensions.

Ripple, the company behind XRP, is expanding its global payments network and gaining more support from financial institutions. In 2024, the UN Capital Development Fund recognized XRP as a low-cost option for international money transfers in developing countries.

XRP also won a major legal battle when the SEC dropped its lawsuit in early 2025 after a court ruled in 2023 that retail XRP sales were not considered securities.

If XRP can break above its July high, it could push toward $5 by year-end. Some AI models, including ChatGPT, are even more optimistic — predicting a possible surge to $7 or even $20.

Over the past year, XRP has climbed 404%, far outperforming Bitcoin’s 94% and Ethereum’s 79%. Technical indicators are also bullish, with three bullish flag patterns this year pointing to strong potential in Q4.

The recent launch of the first spot XRP ETF and Federal Reserve rate cuts didn’t trigger a breakout yet. But upcoming decisions on more XRP ETFs and new U.S. crypto laws by December could be major catalysts.

**Pi Coin Forecast and Growth Potential**

Pi Network (PI) introduced a unique “tap-to-mine” feature that lets users earn coins by tapping their phone once a day — no expensive hardware needed.

Currently priced around $0.266, Gemini believes Pi could rise to $5.20 before the end of the year — nearly a 20x increase.

Pi’s development team is actively improving the network. Recent updates took it from version 19 to version 23, and a mainnet launch may be around the corner — a key milestone that could boost prices.

Since launching in February 2025, Pi has shown sharp price swings, including a huge 171% jump in May. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to 30, indicating that it might be undervalued — a signal that now could be a smart time to buy.

If Pi retests its February high of $2.99 or even hits $1 by November, it could set the stage for a strong year-end rally.

**Shiba Inu Price Potential and Ecosystem Expansion**

Shiba Inu (SHIB), launched in 2020 as a meme coin rival to Dogecoin, now has a market cap of $7.4 billion.

SHIB is currently trading at about $0.00001242 after gaining 2% overnight. While it hasn’t surged like some smaller meme coins (which jumped 8.5% overall), SHIB is still following broader crypto market trends.

Technical charts show SHIB has broken out of both a falling wedge and a bullish flag pattern this year — both good signs for upward movement. If it reaches $0.000025 by November, Gemini predicts it could climb as high as $0.000032 or even $0.00005 by year-end — up to 4x from where it is now.

SHIB’s RSI is currently at 51, suggesting buying interest is picking up as crypto prices rise across the board.

Beyond being just a meme token, SHIB has built real utility through its Layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium. This supports fast and cheap transactions, decentralized apps (dApps), and privacy features — helping SHIB stand out from other meme coins.

**Maxi Doge: A High-Risk Meme Coin on the Rise**

Gemini AI also highlighted growing interest in Maxi Doge (MAXI), a new meme coin branding itself as Dogecoin’s “amped-up cousin.”

Unlike Dogecoin, which is now considered more of a large-cap project, Maxi Doge leans fully into meme culture and high volatility. In just weeks since launch, it raised $2.6 million.

MAXI runs on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and promotes growth through community engagement on platforms like Telegram and Discord. Trading contests and future partnerships are part of its strategy.

Of the total supply of 150.24 billion tokens, 25% is set aside in the “Maxi Fund” for marketing and collaborations. Staking is available with current returns up to 127% APY — though rates will likely decrease as more users join.

Presale tokens are now available at $0.00026 with prices set to rise in future rounds. Interested buyers can purchase through wallets like MetaMask or Best Wallet directly on Maxi Doge’s website.

**Summary**

– XRP could hit $5 by late 2025; legal wins and growing adoption are strong drivers.
– Pi Coin may jump to $5.20 by year-end thanks to ongoing development and user interest.
– Shiba Inu aims for up to a 4× gain if technical momentum continues.
– Maxi Doge offers high-risk/high-reward potential for meme coin traders.

With clearer regulations and October’s bullish history backing the market, these altcoins could be gearing up for major moves soon.
