Google’s powerful AI model, Gemini, predicts that investors holding XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Aster could see major profits by the holiday season. These altcoins are expected to deliver returns many times higher than the original investment.

Even though October was rough for crypto markets, investor confidence is rising again. The launch of Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETFs in the U.S. has helped boost optimism. On top of that, the Federal Reserve recently cut interest rates by 25 basis points, which is pushing more people to take risks and invest in crypto.

This mix of positive news may trigger a new crypto bull run before the end of the year. Gemini AI expects XRP, Cardano, and Aster to lead the way.

**XRP (Ripple)**

XRP is one of the top coins to watch. Gemini’s forecast shows XRP could reach between $5.85 and $13 by year-end. That’s a possible 439% jump from its current price around $2.41.

This bullish outlook follows Ripple’s legal win over the SEC earlier this year, which boosted investor trust and pushed XRP to a seven-year high of $3.65 in July. Over the past year, XRP has gained 378%, doing better than both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Ripple is also rolling out its RLUSD stablecoin and strengthening ties with regulators, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s recent interaction with former President Trump. These moves are making Ripple more attractive to both retail and big-money investors.

If more positive news comes—like new ETFs, big partnerships, or clearer U.S. crypto rules—XRP could hit the upper target of $13 before year-end.

**Cardano (ADA)**

Cardano remains one of the strongest platforms for decentralized finance (DeFi). Built by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, it’s known for its scientific approach and long-term vision focused on scalability and sustainability.

Right now, Cardano has a market cap of around $21 billion. While it still trails Ethereum and Solana in adoption, its developer community is growing fast.

Gemini AI suggests ADA could climb as high as $7 by early 2025—a huge 1,100% increase from its current price near $0.58. If market sentiment stays strong, ADA might even return to its 2021 high of $3.09 by late 2025.

**Aster (ASTER)**

Aster is a new decentralized exchange (DEX) token that’s gaining attention in the DeFi space. It came from a merger between Astherus and APX Finance in late 2024 and officially launched in September 2025. A month later, it was listed on Binance.

Built on the BNB Chain, Aster allows users to trade spot and futures with up to 1001× leverage. Its unique “Trade & Earn” feature lets users trade using yield-generating assets, earning rewards at the same time.

In just 24 hours, Aster saw a 9% price jump even though the overall crypto market was down by 3%. While it’s still too new for long-term predictions, recent whale activity helped push its price up briefly before a small dip due to profit-taking.

Aster’s technical indicators like RSI remain neutral, giving it a good shot at meeting Gemini’s short-term targets over the next couple of months.

**Maxi Doge ($MAXI)**

One meme coin not yet tracked by Gemini AI but causing buzz is Maxi Doge (MAXI). It’s being called Dogecoin’s louder and wilder cousin.

Launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, MAXI offers faster and cheaper transactions than Dogecoin. With a total supply of 150.24 billion tokens, 25% is set aside for the “Maxi Fund” to support marketing, partnerships, and growth.

MAXI already has staking live with up to 80% APY rewards, although that number will go down as more users join in. The current presale price is $0.000266 and will increase with each new phase.

With heavy social media engagement, meme contests, and community events, Maxi Doge is aiming to capture investor interest looking for the next big meme coin opportunity.
