The crypto market has declined over the past 24 hours following weak labor market data in the US. Bitcoin has dropped 1.4%, Ethereum is down 2.9%, and XRP has fallen 1.5%. However, the labor market data has increased expectations of an interest rate cut – the FedWatch tool shows a 100% chance of a September rate cut and even an 11% chance of a 50-basis point cut.
A 50-basis-point cut also occurred in September 2024, and it caused Bitcoin to rally from under $60,000 to $100,000 for the first time ever. This also caused altcoins to surge, with XRP, Cardano, and BNB among those seeing the biggest gains.
So with a similar macroeconomic situation developing again, traders are watching these top altcoins closely and expecting substantial gains ahead. To gauge how far they might go, we asked ChatGPT for price predictions.
The chatbot indicates that all three projects are on track for growth by the end of 2025, but says a new Bitcoin layer 2 called Bitcoin Hyper is set for the biggest gains. Currently in presale, HYPER has already raised an impressive $14.2 million, reflecting strong community support and potential for profits once it becomes available on exchanges.
ChatGPT Predicts XRP to $7
ChatGPT began by explaining that “Rate cuts in late-2025 could coincide with a Q4 liquidity push, amplifying demand across risk assets,” which contributed to its analysis for XRP, Cardano, and BNB.
It then moved on to project-specific drivers. Regarding XRP, it notes that its increasing utility, along with an improved regulatory environment and potential Ripple Labs partnerships, could boost its price.
The chatbot states that XRP could reach between $4 and $5 in a base case or highs of $7 in a bullish scenario this year. This leaves room for just over a 2x gain from its current price of $2.8.
Cardano Forecasted to Hit $2 on Robust Ecosystem
ChatGPT pointed to Solana’s strong ecosystem as the main reason its price could rise toward the end of this year, noting the network “emphasizes peer-reviewed, slow-and-steady development.”
It also states that Cardano’s decentralized governance structure and growth of real-world initiatives could help boost its price in the final months of 2025.
Based on these factors, the chatbot suggests that Cardano could reach a base case target between $1.2 and $1.5 this year, or a bullish target between $1.8 and $2. From its current price, this offers room for almost a 2.5x gain.
BNB Could Reach $1,200 as On-chain Activty, Token Burning
BNB is the most active blockchain by users in the past 24 hours, with 4.4 million active addresses. ChatGPT states that the network’s strong community is a key reason it could perform well in the coming months.
It also mentions that the project has a burn mechanism that destroys BNB, meaning the more ecosystem activity there is, the scarcer BNB becomes. And so given its leading on-chain usage, it becomes clear that BNB is firmly positioned for gains.
As a result, the chatbot predicts BNB to reach between $900 and $1000 in a base case and $1200 in a bull case, resulting in up to a 39% gain.
ChatGPT Tips Bitcoin Hyper for 8x Rally
Bitcoin Hyper is developing the world’s first ZK-rollup-powered Bitcoin layer 2 blockchain, aimed at solving Bitcoin’s issues of slow speeds, high fees, and limited functionality.
By integrating ZK-rollups, Bitcoin Hyper can inherit Bitcoin’s security benefits, making transactions on the L2 as secure as on the L1, a feat that earlier L2s like Stacks and Rootstocks didn’t acheive.
The project is also built using the Solana Virtual Machine, which enables blistering transaction speeds, smart contract support, and interoperability with the Solana blockchain. Solana developers can port their apps and tokens to Bitcoin Hyper without needing wrappers or learning a new programming language, laying the foundations for a vibrant ecosystem.
As a result, ChatGPT predicts significant gains for HYPER this year, estimating it could reach between $0.08 and $0.1 by the end of 2025, representing a 6x to 8x increase.
The reason Bitcoin Hyper is expected to outperform XRP, Cardano, and BNB is primarily because its presale allows investors to purchase at the very beginning. That’s comparable to buying XRP in 2013 or Cardano and BNB in 2017.
However, the HYPER presale is selling out fast, raising around $200,000 daily. This means that investors interested in purchasing should act quickly to avoid missing out.
