The market is recovering as one of the worst months for crypto comes to an end. Heading into Christmas, we asked leading Claude AI for his predictions for XRP, Solana, and Pepe toward the end of 2025, and he delivered a dramatic outlook. 2025 has been a negative year for Bitcoin. At the time of writing, year-to-date performance shows BTC down more than 7%, starting the year near 99K and now looking likely to finish below that level. Even so, the bigger picture stays constructive. Analysts still expect durable altcoins such as XRP, Solana, and Pepe to perform well over the long term. Once market conditions settle, each project could regain upward momentum, and below is how Claude expects it to play out. Ripple (XRP): Claude AI Highlights the Potential for a 200% Rally Claude says the regulatory victory that came with ETF launches, along with accelerated adoption in Asia, could set XRP up for a historical move. Claude has set a price target of 5 to 8 dollars for XRP by the end of 2026, which would mean more than a three times rally. Such a reversal would contrast sharply with XRP’s strong run earlier this year, when it climbed to a seven-year peak of 3.65 dollars in July after Ripple secured a major legal win against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The recent bearish sentiment around XRP has pushed the price into a pattern similar to what happened before the explosive 2017 pump. If XRP manages to hold the $2.00 support level, a new all-time high could form by 2026, just as CZ predicted .

The reason is clear because Solana is having one of its strongest years in terms of adoption, with major partnerships such as the one with Western Union. It is becoming the preferred chain for institutions when it comes to stablecoins, and even PayPal has launched one on it. The total Solana stablecoin market cap has now passed 1$5 billion, the highest level it has reached. Solana has failed to break the wall at $144 multiple times. As the market recovers, it seems ready for another attempt. If it manages to push through, the next resistance level sits near $160. It is important for price to hold the demand zone shown on the chart in order to keep the bullish scenario intact. If that zone fails, the setup can be invalidated. Pepe ($PEPE): Claude AI Predicts Memecoin Comeback With 200% Surge For Pepe Claude AI crowns PEPE as the undisputed king of this cycle and sets a price target of more than a 200 percent surge from the current level. This view is driven by its massive community, cultural relevance, and the idea that the current low price is attracting more holders. As shown in the chart, whenever PEPE created a wide dispersion from its 21 EMA on the 3D timeframe and then returned to test it, the low was already in. This could already be the low for memecoins in 2025. The sector has started to recover, jumping from a $38 billion market cap to more than $42 billion in the past few days. If the bottom is in, then Maxi Doge could be one of the best coins to buy next. Maxi Doge Could Be The Best Memecoin To Buy Maxi Doge is starting to heat up again. Fresh off the growing memecoin recovery, the project has already pulled in more than $4.29 million in its presale and is positioning itself as one of the strongest contenders for the next wave of retail hype. Maxi Doge leans fully into meme culture, built around a jacked, high-leverage, obsessed Doge that captures the humor and chaos traders love. No fake utility pitch, no overpromised roadmap. The project keeps its identity simple while building real incentives around staking and community-driven contests to keep engagement high. One of the strongest points behind Maxi Doge is the token distribution. Nearly 40% of the entire supply went directly to the public presale, with zero insider or private rounds. That structure reduces the risk of whale sell-offs when MAXI begins listing on major exchanges, which is something early investors always look for. The team is also rolling out a staking program offering up to 72% annual yield for MAXI holders. This allows presale participants to lock up their tokens and earn rewards even before the presale ends, creating strong early momentum. Visit the Maxi Doge website to join the presale and follow what smart traders are moving into. You can buy using ETH, USDT, BNB, or even a credit card.
