Claude AI’s Bold 2025 Price Forecasts: XRP, Shiba Inu, and Pepe Set to Shock Markets

AI throws gasoline on crypto's speculative fire with eye-popping predictions.

Claude—Anthropic's rival to ChatGPT—just dropped price targets that'll make degens salivate and regulators groan. We break down the numbers behind the hype.

XRP: From courtroom drama to moon mission?

The AI sees Ripple's token finally breaking free—predicting a valuation that'd make even the most bullish lawyers blush. Never mind that pesky SEC lawsuit hanging around like a bad smell.

Shiba Inu: Meme coin or serious contender?

Claude's projection suggests the dog-themed token could fetch returns that'd make Bitcoin miners jealous. All without delivering anything resembling utility—just good old-fashioned FOMO.

Pepe: The frog that refuses to croak

Somehow, this meme coin keeps leaping higher. Claude's forecast implies it might just outlast half the 'serious' Layer 1 projects—proving once again that in crypto, fundamentals are optional.

Remember folks: in a market where 'number go up' is the only theology, even AI predictions are just horoscopes for bros. Trade accordingly.

Ripple ($XRP): Claude AI Predicts Major Upside for This Cross-Border Payments Pioneer

According to Claude’s projections, Ripple’s XRP is positioned for a substantial price rally, potentially reaching $10 by the end of the year, more than quadrupling from its current price of nearly $2.30.

Several catalysts underlie this outlook: Ripple’s recent legal victory over the SEC, increasing institutional adoption, and growing speculation about an XRP spot ETF approval in the U.S.

The United Nations Capital Development Fund has previously recognised XRP for its rapid, cost-effective, and regulation-friendly transaction capabilities, strengthening its relevance for global remittances.

Ripple’s prolonged legal saga concluded in March when the SEC formally dismissed its lawsuit, following a major 2023 court ruling declaring XRP’s retail sales were not securities transactions. This outcome has revitalised market confidence across the sector.

Currently trading just above $2, analysts identify $3 as the next major resistance point. Should XRP breach this level, Claude AI predicts a rally towards $5 by the end of 2025, with $10 or higher achievable under particularly bullish market conditions.

Technical analysis reveals a bullish flag formation between January and April, a classic indicator suggesting strong upward potential.

In the last 24 hours, XRP has added 5.3% to its price, outpacing gains made by Solana and bitcoin over the same period.

Shiba Inu (SHIB): Claude AI Predicts 8X Growth Potential by Year-End

Launched in August 2020, shiba inu (SHIB) has become one of the most recognised meme tokens in crypto, with a market cap exceeding $7 billion.

Currently priced at $0.00001197, SHIB has gained 5% overnight, and it now appears poised to break out from two converging technical patterns: a descending wedge (November–March) and a bullish flag pattern formed in mid-May.

Immediate resistance sits NEAR $0.000022, with upside potential toward $0.00003. Claude AI predicts that if momentum continues, SHIB could reach the $0.0001 range by year-end, marking an eight-fold increase from today’s price.

The project’s evolution from meme coin to utility-focused ecosystem underpins this bullish outlook.

Operating atop Ethereum, SHIB’s scalability has advanced with Shibarium, its proprietary Layer-2 network, delivering faster transactions, reduced fees, and expanded dApp integration. It also offers enhanced privacy features.

Pepe ($PEPE): Claude AI Predicts an Easy 3X for This Meme Coin Leader

Pepe ($PEPE), inspired by Matt Furie’s iconic frog character, has secured a spot among top meme coins since its inception. Since late 2024, it has consistently ranked among the top three meme assets by market cap, outperforming all non-dog-themed competitors with a market cap of over $4.4 billion.

Despite an influx of imitators since its April 2023 debut, Pepe continues to lead due to exceptional community engagement and deep liquidity. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, has hinted several times that PEPE is among his holdings alongside Dogecoin.

At its current price of roughly $0.00001049, after adding 9% in 24 hours, Pepe is one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies today. Its gains over the same period far outpaced those of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, but it fell just short of the average 10.3% overnight gains posted by crypto’s collective 60.3 billion meme coin sector.

Claude AI suggests PEPE could triple in value by the end of the year to hit a high of $0.000036, higher than its recent all-time high of $0.00002803 posted back in December, a high which it has now declined 62.6% from.

Price charts indicate a descending wedge pattern between November and March, a structure that often indicates a reversal to the upside.

If bullish momentum continues, PEPE could retest its previous high and push toward $0.00003 by autumn, with the potential to even hit $0.00004 to $0.00005 by New Year’s, if the market enters a fully-fledged bull run.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER): Next-Gen Layer-2 Meme Protocol Poised for Launch

Alongside established altcoins, Claude AI anticipates a new wave of emerging projects vying for attention in the upcoming bull market.

One such contender is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a presale Layer-2 protocol featuring meme coin branding alongside substantial blockchain utility.

Though it is not yet listed on major exchanges like Gemini, HYPER has already raised over $1.8 million in its presale phase, with expectations of potential 10X gains upon listing.

Built using the Solana VIRTUAL Machine (SVM), HYPER introduces smart contract capability to the Bitcoin ecosystem through its Layer-2 infrastructure. Its Canonical Bridge allows for rapid, low-cost transactions and supports a wide range of dApps, spanning DeFi to NFTs.

Security audits by Coinsult have reported no critical vulnerabilities, bolstering investor confidence. The $HYPER token serves multiple functions within its ecosystem, including governance, staking, transaction fees, and access to services, with staking rewards reaching up to 418% APY.
