Can XRP Realistically Hit $10? ChatGPT Challenges Massive Bullish Predictions

Can XRP hit $10 this year? Or even during 2026? Here’s what ChatGPT thinks.

Ripple’s cross-border token is among the most popular in  the cryptocurrency community, with a massive fanbase referred to as the XRP Army.

They are known for making bold claims, and one of the most popular participants, John Squire, has outlined numerous mind-blowing price targets for XRP’s future. In the latest, he wondered on X whether the asset could rocket to $10 by the end of the year. Given the short timeframe left of just a few weeks, we decided to ask ChatGPT about its opinion on how viable this prediction is.

XRP at $10 in 2025? 🤔

Close to Impossible

Since XRP would need to skyrocket by nearly 400% in just over three weeks to reach Squire’s number, ChatGPT was quick to determine that such a move would be “close to impossible” for 2025. After all, XRP is the second-largest altcoin, not some small-cap that can surge by double- or even triple-digits within days or weeks.

Moreover, if this rather far-fetched target is reached, the asset’s market cap would soar to $520-$550 billion, making it much more valuable than ETH and placing it “close to or above some of the largest companies in the world.”

“Achieving this in the current liquidity and market environment is a massive challenge,” said ChatGPT.

It also noted that XRP has underperformed since the mid-July all-time high of $3.65, losing more than 40% of its value since then. It even dipped below $2.00 on several occasions. Lastly, OpenAI’s platform mentioned the XRP ETF inflows, which, albeit still in the green for weeks, are “relatively modest” and have declined in the past several days.

$10 Ever?

After noting that there’s a very, very slim chance of hitting $10 this year, ChatGPT provided a broader and more optimistic look for the long run. It believes the spot XRP ETF inflows are key to determining whether the underlying asset can reach such heights, especially if major issuers, like BlackRock and Fidelity, enter the field.

Additionally, it brought up XRP’s utility potential, which could also boost its price for the next few years.

“Cross-border settlement, liquidity provisioning, and remittance infrastructure remain XRP’s core value propositions. If Ripple secures additional large-scale banking integrations, utility-driven demand could support a multi-dollar valuation.”

It reiterated a previous statement that Ripple’s token tends to outperform in the latter stages of bull cycles. As such, it noted that if BTC resumes a strong uptrend or “enters a new macro bull phase in 2026,” the subsequent capital rotation into larger-cap alts such as XRP can push it “dramatically higher.”

In conclusion, the AI chatbot said it’s possible for XRP to hit $10 eventually, but it’s highly unlikely to happen soon, and added:

“XRP can reach $10 in the long run — especially in a supercycle scenario or if multiple ETFs attract billions in inflows. But based on current momentum, liquidity, and market structure, achieving that target within the next 12 months appears highly ambitious.”
