Uphold exchange has infused new optimism within the XRP community by sharing bullish price predictions from Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot on Elon Musk’s X platform. The exchange highlighted an analysis where Grok asserted that XRP has strong potential to more than triple its current price.
During an inquiry about the shortest possible timeline for XRP to reach $10, Grok confidently predicted that this milestone could be achieved by Halloween 2025. At that time, XRP was trading at approximately $3.10, suggesting that reaching $10 would necessitate a rally exceeding 200%.
Grok’s analysis emphasized historical price surges and significant upcoming events as key catalysts for XRP’s potential breakout, specifically pointing out the SEC’s impending decision on spot XRP ETF applications, with October being a crucial month for rulings. Additionally, the timing coincides with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s calendar for deciding on Ripple’s banking charter application. Grok asserted that these developments could “unlock billions” in institutional investments, prompting a swift price increase reminiscent of past bull markets.
Historically, XRP has exhibited a pattern of considerable price increases as the year closes, notably achieving one of its most significant gains in late 2017, with a smaller resurgence during Q4 2024. This trend contributes to a growing sense of optimism for a potentially strong Q4 for XRP in 2025.
When further pressed for additional predictions, Grok suggested two alternative dates: December 25 and December 31, 2025. After thorough analysis, the AI indicated that New Year’s Eve emerged as the most plausible date for XRP to first hit $10. Grok reasoned that year-end catalysts, including possible Federal Reserve rate cuts, XRP ETF approvals in October, and the anticipated adoption of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, could create a conducive environment for a sustained upward trend through the fourth quarter.
The post from Uphold has stirred significant discussion within the broader cryptocurrency community, where it queried followers about the plausibility of Grok’s Halloween prediction. While many users expressed agreement and even suggested more aggressive price targets, opinion remains divided. Some market analysts from platforms like Kraken and CoinCodex project a more conservative end-of-2025 price range for XRP, estimating between $3 and $5. Conversely, more optimistic analysts forecast a year-end price between $10 and $20.
With these assessments in play, commentators like Kenny Nguyen are speculating on the emergence of new XRP millionaires by the end of 2025.
