With XRP still stuck below major resistance and investor sentiment split, one researcher turned to artificial intelligence for a fresh perspective on XRP price prospects in 2025. Instead of relying on traditional analysts, leading AI tools, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok, were asked to predict how high XRP could climb by the end of 2025. While their responses leaned bullish, they came with conditions. Crypto Researcher Ripple Van Winkle called attention to the responses in a post on X.ChatGPT XRP Price PredictionSpecifically, ChatGPT presented three distinct scenarios depending on how events unfold for Ripple. In a conservative estimate, it predicts XRP will climb back to $3.80, matching its previous all-time high from 2018. A more moderate forecast predicts the token will be between $5 and $6, assuming Ripple secures key partnerships and continues to experience adoption. However, in the most aggressive scenario, XRP could rise as high as $10 to $15 if everything breaks in its favor.Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok Weigh InInterestingly, both Gemini and Perplexity provided similar outlooks, projecting XRP in the $5 to $10 range. Nonetheless, they emphasized that such growth is only possible if Ripple’s legal troubles are resolved and if an XRP spot ETF enters the market. It bears mentioning that Ripple and the SEC have already decided to drop the case, pending court approval.Meanwhile, Grok, the AI developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, was more cautious. It projected a lower range between $1.80 and $5.81, with its most likely scenario falling between $3 and $4.50.https://twitter.com/RipBullWinkle/status/1941856566967201816Key Drivers Behind the PredictionsThe AIs identified three main forces that could push XRP higher this year. First is the outcome of Ripple’s legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Both parties have agreed to dismiss their appeal. What's pending is the official settlement announcement. Market watchers believe this development could unlock institutional interest. Second is adoption, in terms of new partnerships and broader use of XRP in cross-border payment systems. Ripple has continued to pursue new alliances and acquisitions, which many believe will benefit XRP. Finally, the AI tools noted that the approval of spot XRP ETFs in the United States could serve as a major catalyst for the XRP price. This is because it would attract both retail and institutional capital. ETF inflows played a significant role in propelling Bitcoin's price in 2024.Bitcoin Influence on the Broader MarketAnother common theme across the AI predictions is the importance of Bitcoin’s trajectory. The chatbots noted that a strong post-halving bull run, combined with clearer pro-crypto U.S. policies, could lift the entire market, including XRP. In other words, XRP’s success will not exist in isolation but as part of a larger shift in market sentiment.While the outlooks were generally optimistic, all four AIs included a disclaimer that the projections were not financial advice. Specifically, they encouraged investors to do their research and remain cautious, even in the face of promising forecasts. At press time, XRP is trading at $2.27, up 0.8% today.
