Claude AI Shocking Prediction: XRP challenges 10 dollars by the end of the year, SHIB and PEPE fluctuations are exceptionally intense.

Anthropic's ChatGPT competitor Claude AI has made astonishing predictions about the trends of XRP, SHIB, and PEPE alts before the end of 2025. The forecasts indicate that XRP could reach $10 in an ideal scenario, with SHIB targeting a range of $0.00005 to $0.00009, and PEPE potentially pumping 420% to $0.000024.

Opportunity for rebound after the market's significant adjustment

In the past month, the cryptocurrency market has experienced severe adjustments due to a significant sell-off of Bitcoin, with most major assets undergoing substantial pullbacks. Last Friday, Bitcoin briefly fell to an eight-month low of approximately $82,000. This sharp correction cleared out over-leveraged positions and short-term speculators, allowing the market to re-establish a healthy technical foundation.

Even so, the overall situation remains optimistic. Blockchain innovation continues to advance, and altcoins with high durability like XRP, Shiba Inu, and PEPE are still considered strong long-term competitors. Once the market environment stabilizes, each project may regain growth momentum. Such adjustments are not uncommon in the history of the crypto market; after the significant pullbacks in May 2021 and March 2020, the market recovered and reached new highs within weeks.

Anthropic's Claude AI predicts that the volatility of XRP, Shiba Inu, and PEPE, three altcoins, could be exceptionally intense in December, with prices potentially soaring or plummeting depending on macroeconomic conditions and industry catalysts. This dual-scenario forecast reflects the current market's high uncertainty but also provides investors with a clear risk-reward framework.

XRP Price Prediction: Polarization between 10 dollars or 1.80 dollars

Claude AI's downward forecast indicates that if market sentiment worsens, Ripple's XRP could drop to around $1.80 by Christmas, which is a 17% decrease from the current price of approximately $2.18. This reversal would starkly contrast with XRP's strong surge earlier this year. At that time, following Ripple's significant legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the price of XRP soared to a seven-year high of $3.65 in July.

For several months, XRP has been consolidating in multiple bullish flag patterns that have failed to break out. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently close to 53, and over the past 24 hours, XRP has increased by 1.5%, while other cryptocurrencies have risen by 4% overall, bringing the total market capitalization to $3.2 trillion. This consolidation pattern indicates that XRP is building momentum, awaiting a key catalyst to break the deadlock.

In an ideal scenario, the target price ceiling for Claude AI could reach $10. If the previous issuance of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs can serve as a reference, the recent approval of nine XRP spot ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may stabilize institutional demand. Additionally, more highly anticipated ETFs are expected to be launched soon. Further regulatory clarity or significant institutional collaborations could help drive XRP to achieve double-digit growth by 2026.

Three Major Preconditions for XRP to Reach 10 Dollars

· Spot ETFs have successfully attracted billions of dollars in institutional capital inflows, replicating the effect of Bitcoin ETFs.

· Ripple has achieved groundbreaking collaborations in the cross-border payment sector, such as deep integration with large banks or payment networks.

· The regulatory environment has further clarified, eliminating remaining legal uncertainties.

A rise from the current $2.18 to $10 implies an increase of about 359%, which is not uncommon in a cryptocurrency bull market, especially considering that XRP increased over 64000% from its lows during the 2017 bull market. The key is whether the ETF can truly bring sustained institutional buying and whether Ripple can convert legal victories into actual business expansion.

SHIB Price Prediction: Shibarium Drives 11x Potential

Shiba Inu (SHIB) made its debut in 2020, aiming to challenge Dogecoin, and its market capitalization has now surpassed $5 billion. The trading price of SHIB is close to $0.0000085, having increased by 2% over the past day, which is roughly in line with the rise of Dogecoin. As November approaches its end, if it can break through the key resistance level of $0.000025, it is expected to achieve the year-end price range projected by Claude AI of $0.00005 to $0.00009, which implies a potential return of up to 11 times.

Claude AI's bearish expectation for SHIB is significantly lower than his predictions for XRP and PEPE. In a downturn scenario, SHIB may slightly rise to the support area of 0.00001, followed by consolidation, which suggests that the minimum possible gain from the current level is only about 18%. This relatively mild downside risk contrasts sharply with the aggressive upside potential, implying that the Claude AI model considers SHIB to be currently undervalued.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem has significantly expanded, with Shibarium (a Layer-2 scaling network) providing faster transaction speeds, lower fees, broader developer support, and more robust privacy tools. These features make SHIB stand out compared to typical internet meme tokens. Since its launch, Shibarium has seen a continuous increase in transaction volume, having processed over hundreds of millions of transactions, proving its technical viability. As more dApps are deployed on Shibarium, the demand for SHIB as the ecosystem's fuel token will continue to grow.

PEPE Price Prediction: 420% Surge Challenges Historical High

Pepe (PEPE) was launched in April 2023 and has developed into a leading non-dog-themed meme token, with a market capitalization exceeding $2 billion. Inspired by Matt Furie's comic series “Boy's Club”, Pepe's cultural influence and meme legacy have solidified its ubiquitous presence on social media. Despite fierce competition, PEPE still maintains ample liquidity and an active fanbase.

The trading price of the token today is close to 0.0000046 USD, still about 84% lower than the peak of 0.00002803 USD in December 2024. The model from Claude AI indicates that PEPE could pump 420% to reach 0.000024 USD, challenging its all-time high. This target price is very close to its historical peak, suggesting that Claude AI believes PEPE has the potential to recover all its losses by the end of the year.

However, in the short term, the token must break through the stubborn resistance level of $0.000018 to confirm a larger trend reversal. This resistance level is a key price point of the previous consolidation platform and a concentration area of significant capital costs. Breaking through this level requires sufficient buying volume and a clear catalyst.

However, a bear market could lead to a crash in stock prices by 35%, dropping to $0.000003. Although this downward scenario is aggressive, it is not impossible given the volatility characteristics of Meme coins. As a Meme coin, PEPE's price is mainly driven by community sentiment and speculative demand, lacking traditional fundamental support, and therefore may experience overselling during market panic.

Occasionally, he is also driven by Elon Musk's mysterious hints on X, which has sparked speculation that in addition to his known holdings of DOGE and BTC, he also holds a position in PEPE. Although Musk has never publicly acknowledged holding PEPE, he has repeatedly posted Pepe-related images and comments on social media, each time triggering a short-term surge in PEPE's price. This celebrity effect has a tremendous influence in the Meme coin market.
