Grok AI Predicts XRP, Solana, PEPE to Surge by 2026
**Elon Musk’s Grok AI Predicts Big Price Jumps for XRP, Solana, and PEPE by 2026**
Grok AI, the artificial intelligence model built by Elon Musk’s team, has released new price predictions for some of the top cryptocurrencies—XRP, Solana (SOL), and meme coin PEPE. These forecasts are based on the idea that if the crypto market enters a strong bull run and U.S. regulations become more crypto-friendly, we could see huge gains by the end of 2026.
Here’s a breakdown of what Grok AI expects for each token.
—
**XRP Could Reach $27.52 by 2026 – That’s Over 1,300% Growth**
Ripple’s XRP is starting 2026 with solid momentum. The token recently climbed to around $1.90, and Grok AI thinks it could soar as high as $27.52 by the end of the year. That would be a massive 1,350% increase from current prices.
XRP had a strong performance last year, hitting a new all-time high of $3.65 in July after Ripple won its long-running legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). That win gave investors more confidence and removed a lot of uncertainty around XRP.
With Donald Trump returning to the White House—known for his pro-crypto stance—there’s more hope for clear and fair regulations in the U.S.
From a technical view, XRP is showing early signs of a bullish trend, forming what looks like a “bullish flag” pattern on price charts. If broader market conditions stay positive and recent spot XRP ETFs continue to bring in traditional investors, hitting Grok’s target might not be so far-fetched.
**Solana Could Jump to $1,200 – Nearly 823% Upside**
Solana (SOL) is one of the fastest-growing blockchain platforms right now. It’s known for its speed and low fees and currently holds over $8.4 billion in locked value (TVL). Its market cap is also above $75 billion, and big names like Bitwise and Grayscale have recently launched Solana-focused ETFs.
SOL is currently trading around $130 after a dip late last year. If Bitcoin crosses $100,000—a level many analysts believe is possible this year—Solana could ride that wave higher.
Grok AI sees SOL reaching up to $1,200 by 2026, nearly nine times its current price. That would also put it well above its previous all-time high of $293 set in early 2025.
Solana continues to gain attention from major institutions. Companies like Franklin Templeton and BlackRock are using it to tokenize real-world assets, showing that Solana might play a big role in future financial systems.
**PEPE Meme Coin Could Rise 2,000% in Best-Case Scenario**
PEPE, the meme coin inspired by the “Boy’s Club” comics, has become a major player in the meme token space. Launched in April 2023, it now has a market cap of around $2.2 billion.
Even though it’s down about 82% from its all-time high of $0.00002803 reached in December 2024, Grok AI still sees big potential here. If market conditions align and social media hype returns, PEPE could climb back to around $0.000025—close to its peak. That would be a 390% gain from today’s price.
PEPE remains popular thanks to its strong community and occasional tweets from Elon Musk that keep fans excited. It stands out as the top non-Dogecoin meme coin in the market.

**Maxi Doge – The New Meme Coin Making Noise**
While not part of Grok’s predictions, there’s growing buzz around Maxi Doge ($MAXI), a new meme coin now in presale that has already raised over $4.5 million.
MAXI is styled as a bold, over-the-top version of Dogecoin—a loud, gym-bro meme character that embraces extreme crypto culture. It’s built on Ethereum’s energy-efficient proof-of-stake network, which gives it a greener footprint than Dogecoin.
The project is offering staking rewards up to 69% APY during its presale phase, though these rates will drop as more people stake their tokens. Right now, MAXI is priced at $0.0002795 with automatic price increases at each funding round. Investors can join using MetaMask or Best Wallet.
Maxi Doge is aiming to build its own army of fans and traders who love meme coins and high-risk crypto plays.

**Final Thoughts**
With clearer U.S. crypto regulations potentially on the horizon and big players entering the scene through ETFs, Grok AI’s price forecasts show just how much upside might be ahead for top cryptocurrencies like XRP, Solana, and PEPE.
Whether you’re into utility tokens like SOL and XRP or chasing meme hype with PEPE and MAXI, 2026 could be a wild year for crypto markets.
