XRP News Today: DeepSeek Predicts 120% Gain for XRP by 2025 End

China’s state-of-the-art AI platform, DeepSeek, has forecasted a bullish outlook for several cryptocurrencies as the year 2025 approaches its conclusion. The platform’s analysis is based on a combination of macroeconomic indicators, project-specific fundamentals, regulatory insights, and technical trend data.

Ripple’s XRP is one of the cryptocurrencies highlighted by DeepSeek. The AI platform predicts that XRP could surge to $5 by the end of 2025, more than doubling from its current value near $2.18. This optimistic projection is supported by several factors, including the resolution of Ripple’s legal standoff with the SEC, increased traction in institutional circles, and speculation around an imminent approval of a U.S.-based XRP spot ETF. Additionally, the United Nations Capital Development Fund recognized XRP for its efficiency in executing fast, regulation-friendly cross-border payments, further highlighting its growing influence in the traditional finance sector. With the legal chapter concluded in March, XRP is now gearing up to test resistance at $3, and if it breaches that threshold, DeepSeek’s analytical models forecast a potential climb to $5 as a feasible year-end target.

Pepe ($PEPE), the meme token inspired by Matt Furie’s internet-famous frog, has also been identified as a potential breakout candidate. Currently priced at approximately $0.000009698, DeepSeek suggests that loyal PEPE investors could see up to 10X returns by year-end. Despite its April 2023 origin inspiring dozens of copycats, PEPE remains unmatched in community support and market traction. With a market valuation north of $4 billion, PEPE leads the pack of frog-themed and non-dog-themed meme coins. A classic descending wedge pattern formed between November and March suggests that if momentum builds, the token could reclaim previous highs and potentially hit $0.00005 or even $0.0001 under optimal market conditions.

Cardano ($ADA) has also reentered the spotlight following a high-profile mention by U.S. President Donald Trump, who proposed using ADA as part of a federal crypto reserve. Founded by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is known for its methodical development process and commitment to scalability and sustainability. Valued at around $20.5 billion, ADA remains a top competitor to Ethereum and is catching up to emerging giants like Solana. DeepSeek projects ADA could reach $7 by year-end—a staggering 12x increase from its current price of $0.5688. From a technical perspective, ADA has been consolidating inside a descending wedge since late 2024. If the price clears the $1.10 resistance, a short-term rally toward $1.50 could occur. In a strong bull market, even DeepSeek’s most conservative bullish scenario—$5—would see ADA significantly above its previous record high of $3.09.
