Claude predicts: By the end of 2025, XRP, SHIB, and PI may experience significant pumps, with alts entering an undeveloped valuation range.

Anthropic's artificial intelligence model Claude predicts that, driven by the strong upward momentum of Bitcoin (BTC), Ripple (XRP), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pi Network (PI) may reach unprecedented heights by the end of 2025, entering an undeveloped valuation range. Investors anticipate that the upcoming bull run cycle could surpass the legendary rebound of 2021.

Here are the cryptocurrencies that the Claude model expects to bring considerable returns before Christmas:

Ripple (XRP): Claude predicts the price will grow 6 times within five months

Claude predicts that the cross-border payment leader Ripple (XRP) may soar to $20 by the end of 2025, more than six times its current value of around $3.22.

This bullish forecast stems from XRP's strong performance this year. On July 18, XRP reached an all-time high of $3.65, surpassing the 2018 peak of $3.40, indicating its continued upward momentum. In the past two weeks, XRP has risen by 32%, outperforming Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies on this list.

Due to the expansion of use cases, increased regulatory clarity, and speculation around the XRP spot ETF, investor sentiment is strengthened, and these factors may collectively drive strong capital inflows.

XRP supports fast, low-cost, and compliant international payments. In 2024, the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) recognized XRP as a blockchain-based, intermediary-free global transaction solution.

A landmark court ruling in 2023 determined that Ripple's sale of XRP to retail customers does not meet the criteria for a securities sale, effectively countering the SEC's previous aggressive stance towards Ripple and other altcoins.

In March, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially withdrawn the case, thereby eliminating a significant obstacle and boosting broader market confidence.

Currently, the trading price of XRP is 11.7% lower than its historical high. If it decisively breaks through this level, then Claude's conservatively set end-of-year target of 10 dollars seems within reach.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) of XRP has shown a downward trend from 62, indicating a potential short-term profit-taking, but the current correction will help consolidate its recent strong gains.

In an extremely optimistic scenario, Claude believes that if a significant catalyst occurs, such as a favorable shift in U.S. regulatory policy during President Trump's term, leading to a rebound that surpasses the historic cryptocurrency boom of 2021, XRP could potentially double this forecast.

In the past year, XRP surged by 411%, surpassing Bitcoin's 80% increase during the same period.

Shiba Inu (SHIB): Claude predicts it will grow 7 times before the end of the year

Shiba Inu was launched in August 2020 and has become the second-largest meme coin, rivaling Dogecoin, with a market cap of nearly $8.2 billion.

SHIB is currently priced at $0.00001387, having pumped 11.5% over the past two weeks and 20% over the past 30 days. It is approaching a breakout from two key technical formations: a descending wedge formed from November to March, and a bullish flag formed in mid-May.

The main resistance level is around $0.000022, with potential upside to $0.00003. If the current momentum continues, Claude expects SHIB to potentially reach $0.0001 by the end of the year, which is more than seven times the current level.

The explosive burn rate of 2,080% for SHIB is likely to help achieve this goal. The team recently burned 1.3 billion SHIB tokens in 7 days.

The transformation of SHIB into a utility-centric ecosystem has also brought rich prospects for it.

SHIB is built on Ethereum and enhances scalability through its Layer 2 solution Shibarium, resulting in faster transaction speeds, lower gas fees, better dApp integration, and improved privacy features.

Pi Network (PI): Claude predicts a potential growth of over 200 times by the end of the year

Pi Network has changed the mining method through its "click mining" approach, allowing users to earn cryptocurrency on their smartphones without the need for expensive hardware or technical expertise.

The current trading price is close to $0.4448, and Claude predicts that if widely adopted, the price of Pi Network will soar more than two hundred times by the end of the year, reaching $100.

Unlike traditional mining models, users only need to click the application once a day to mine PI, a method that resonates with cryptocurrency newcomers.

Since its launch in February 2025, PI has shown high volatility. For example, in early May, its price skyrocketed from $0.58 to $1.57 in just four days, driven by renewed interest from institutional investors, with a pump of up to 171%.

The RSI of PI is currently at 41, showing a downward trend amid a broader sell-off wave. This may lead to a slight drop in its price in the short term; however, once it reaches the oversold level of 30, investors will likely re-enter to take advantage of the discounted price of this fundamentally strong unique project.

If PI joins the inevitable cryptocurrency rebound, it may break through the resistance level of 3 dollars later this summer and possibly set a new historical high above the February peak of 2.99 dollars.

Pi Network, with its user-friendly interface and scalable Layer 1 blockchain, is expected to quickly gain popularity worldwide, and its price could reach the $5 mark even without an overall market boom. However, whether it can achieve Claude's higher prediction of $60 to $100 will depend on broader user growth and approval from U.S. regulators.
