ChatGPT predicts: Will BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and DOGE enter a new golden cycle?

OpenAI's artificial intelligence model ChatGPT has made predictions about the cryptocurrency price outlook for 2025. Based on media providing the model with a large amount of current data and analysis, and asking it to summarize or break down the most likely scenarios, ChatGPT has outlined expected scenarios for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and DOGE.

BTC Price Prediction

By mid-2026: "If the current trends continue—ETF inflows, macro changes, halving effect—the price of Bitcoin may stabilize around $150,000, within a range of $120,000 to $180,000."

Assuming that ETF funds continue to flow in and the macro environment remains stable, ChatGPT predicts that Bitcoin will stabilize around $150,000, which could "push its market cap well above the $3 trillion mark." However, the AI tool also warns that a major black swan event could occur at any time.

2030: "Assuming that institutional adoption continues to rise and the narrative of digital gold strengthens, the price of BTC could reach between $250,000 and $300,000."

ChatGPT believes that if Bitcoin continues to maintain its status as an outstanding digital store of value, its price will rise. Furthermore, as long as the regulatory environment remains favorable, it is highly likely that Bitcoin's price will increase, which once again indicates to what extent these valuations are merely "wild guesses."

2035: "If Bitcoin maintains its bullish momentum, it could reach $400,000 to $600,000, but it could also easily stagnate or crash."

ChatGPT pointed out that the future price trend of Bitcoin largely depends on psychological factors. If optimistic expectations dominate the headlines, prices could soar "like a snowball effect." Moreover, if panic sentiment within the crypto assets community intensifies, we may see a sharp decline in investor confidence, and the value of Bitcoin may drop accordingly.

How does this compare to expert analysis?

ChatGPT predicts that Bitcoin will experience tremendous growth, which is not impossible, but certainly not a certainty. To verify its reliability, we compared the forecasts of multiple experts.

BeInCrypto warns that volatility will significantly increase, ranging between $70,000 and $200,000, and is expected to reach between $200,000 and $225,000 by 2026.

Finally, PricePredictions forecasts a peak of $557,000 in 2026.

In summary, the mid-range price of ChatGPT aligns with most analysts' expectations: a recent range of $120,000 to $180,000 is more appropriate.

However, these long-term forecasts still have a great deal of speculation, as Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility over the years.

If the classic Bitcoin narrative (believing that "it will replace gold") really comes true, then its price is likely to reach these predicted highs. But if not, it could easily drop or just consolidate.

ETH Price Prediction

By mid-2026: "Assuming Ethereum continues to scale and maintains its dominance in DeFi and NFTs after the merge, the price of ETH could reach around $3,500 to $4,000."

According to the predictions of this artificial intelligence tool, this will bring Ethereum's market capitalization close to $500 billion, making it one of the most powerful crypto assets in the market. Nevertheless, ChatGPT emphasized the unpredictability of crypto assets and pointed out that supply dynamics and macro changes could "throw everything off track."

2030: "If Ethereum leads Web3 and institutional adoption continues to grow, the price of ETH could rise to between $8,000 and $12,000."

The artificial intelligence now warns that competition from other chains poses a significant threat to Ethereum, making its predictions for the future highly speculative.

2035: "If Ethereum becomes the backbone of global decentralized applications, then its price could have the opportunity to reach over $20,000—however, setbacks in scalability or major competitors could hinder its development."

When using ChatGPT for long-term predictions, there are many "ifs."

Changelly predicts that by the end of 2025, the price of ETH will exceed $2,990, and by the end of 2026, it will rise to $8,549. According to their long-term estimates, by 2030, the price of Ethereum will grow to $38,294, and by the end of 2034, it will grow to $167,958.

CryptoNews has a different view. According to the source, the target price for Ethereum in 2025 is $2,500. By 2030, the price of the coin should rise to between $5,850 and $9,190, which is much lower than Changelly's prediction.

MarketWatch states that due to supply constraints and ETF inflows, ETH "could eventually rise to over $5,000 in 2026, reaching a historical high."

In summary, ChatGPT's one-year forecast falls within the optimistic expectations of analysts, but is similar to most forecasts we have seen. Given that the valuation of AI itself comes from reliable analyst sources, this is not surprising. However, its 5-10 year valuation remains highly speculative, although it still aligns with the optimistic predictions we see online.

SOL Price Prediction

Mid-2026: "With the development of the ecosystem and the increase in reliability, the price of SOL may reach between 200 and 250 dollars."

2030: "If the usage of DeFi / NFT expands, the price of Solana could rise to between 500 and 800 dollars."

2035: "If SOL continues to keep pace with competitor Layer-1 platforms, its price could break $1,000 - although competition remains very fierce."

How does this compare to expert analysis?

So far, ChatGPT has provided very positive predictions for every cryptocurrency, which is a bit concerning. However, let's compare its predictions with those from other sources:

The Currency Analytics predicts that the average price of SOL will reach between 310 and 510 dollars in 2026, and will rise to over 1,000 dollars by 2030.

CryptoNews predicts that by the end of 2026, the average price of SOL will reach around 197 USD, with a peak price close to 220 USD. By 2030, its average price is expected to be 422 USD.

In summary, ChatGPT's 1-year performance forecast appears slightly conservative compared to analysts' expectations. Its 5-year performance forecast aligns with most of the analysis results we reviewed, while its long-term expectations seem somewhat aggressive (although not impossible in the current market environment).

XRP Price Prediction

Mid-2026: "If Ripple resolves its SEC case and expands its banking partnerships, the price of XRP could reach $2 to $3."

2030: "With the mainstreaming of cross-border usage, XRP could rise to between $5 and $7."

2035: "In a bullish environment, XRP could exceed $10, but regulatory issues or competition may limit its growth."

How does this compare to expert analysis?

Benzinga states that by 2030, the trading price of XRP could range between $4.67 and $26.97.

If the price of Ripple becomes clearer, then The Currency Analytics has a more optimistic target, stating that by 2030, the price of XRP will reach 27 USD.

CoinGape predicts that the price may rise by 60% in the coming months, reaching around $4.47.

InsideBitcoins predicts that by 2030, its price will rise to 7.80 dollars.

In summary, ChatGPT's XRP roadmap aligns very closely with the targets of most mainstream analysts, although we have indeed encountered some targets indicating a more aggressive upside potential.

So far, ChatGPT is more confident in its predictions. For XRP, its predictions rely on specific factors such as the Ripple SEC case, its cross-border uses, and so on.

In December 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple Labs, accusing it of illegally selling XRP as an unregistered security. In July 2023, a U.S. judge made a ruling partially favorable to Ripple, stating that XRP is not considered a security when sold to the public on cryptocurrency exchanges.

As of mid-2025, the case is still under trial, but most experts believe it is actually over. The final outcome could significantly impact the retail volume, regulatory status of XRP, and of course, its price trend. That being said, it is not surprising that ChatGPT makes predictions based on this important event.

DOGE Price Prediction

Mid 2026: "With the hype from social media and occasional celebrity endorsements, the trading price of DOGE could range between $0.30 and $0.50."

2030: "If utility grows, the price of DOGE could reach over $1, but without significant technological or use case changes, this scenario is unlikely to occur."

2035: "If there is no real utility, the price of DOGE may fall below $1, but a parabolic rise is not impossible."

ChatGPT indicates that if DOGE cannot develop practical functions in the real world, meaning things that people can actually do with it, its price may struggle to break through $1. "Parabolic rise" refers to the sudden surge in DOGE's price driven by social media or other forms of viral propagation. Therefore, the possibility of an unexpected surge in DOGE still exists.

The success and popularity of DOGE can largely be attributed to Elon Musk. Musk first took notice of it in 2018 and reached out to one of its co-founders on Twitter, asking them to help combat scam bots. In 2019, he publicly declared that DOGE was his favorite crypto asset, which led to a slight increase in the price of DOGE.

Elon Musk's tweet in December 2020 "One word, Dogecoin" sparked a significant 20% increase. In 2021, he continued to discuss Dogecoin on Twitter, enhancing its market visibility. After Musk referred to himself as the "Father of Dogecoin" on Saturday Night Live, the price of Dogecoin surged to $0.73. In 2021, Tesla began accepting Dogecoin as a payment method for merchandise.

Nevertheless, Musk's tweets sparked legal scrutiny, and investors filed lawsuits over their influence and market manipulation behaviors. In August 2025, a federal court dismissed a significant lawsuit, deeming his statements ridiculous and untrue.

Today, Musk continues to shape the narrative of DOGE.

How does this compare to expert analysis?

Analytics Insight indicates that DOGE has increased by about 83% year-to-date, reaching $0.20, with technical indicators suggesting a rise of 130% to $0.45. The same source also notes that if certain technical indicators meet expectations, DOGE could potentially rise by 900%.

Benzinga predicts that the price of DOGE may reach $1.5 by 2030.

In summary, ChatGPT's prediction for the one-year price window of DOGE aligns with analysts' forecasts. Its long-term forecast and bullish prediction for the 203 DOGE price is similar, ranging between 1-3 USD.
