Leading AI Claude Predicts the Price of XRP, Shiba Inu and Solana By the End of 2026

Anthropic’s Claude AI, a top-tier competitor to ChatGPT, has released fresh cryptocurrency price forecasts for XRP, Shiba Inu, and Solana as December comes to a close. The AI model signals that this year has the potential to be an unprecedented year for all three cryptocurrencies, bringing in fresh new all-time highs (ATH) 3x or more above their last historic peaks.

Here’s how much Claude believes each project will grow in a 2026 bull market.

XRP (XRP): Claude AI Projects a Bullish $10 for Ripple’s On-Chain Cross-Border Payments Solution

Firstly, Ripple’s XRP ($XRP) has started the year with a bang after growing 16% in the last seven days. Claude AI predicts that if bullish momentum holds, XRP could well hit $10 by late 2026.

Last year, XRP was on track to become the best-performing major cryptocurrency. In July, XRP reached its first new ATH in seven years, climbing to $3.65 following Ripple’s decisive legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

However, for most of 2025, XRP traded between $2 and $3. It even spent several stints in the sub-$2 price bracket at the end of the year following a large crypto crash. Now, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 72, signalling heavy selling pressure and the likely end of a rally as traders will now be looking to cash in on recent gains.

From its current price of $2.27, hitting Claude’s upper boundary signals 340% profits over the year for current holders.

The recent launch of U.S. spot XRP ETFs is currently driving institutional demand, similar to what we saw in early Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF adoption. With more approvals expected, 2026 could be a breakout year for XRP.

Shiba Inu (SHIB): Claude Thinks SHIB will Beat ATH by 7,000%

Shiba Inu ($SHIB), launched in 2020 as a fun alternative to Dogecoin, now commands a market cap of over $5.5 billion.

Currently trading near $0.000009355, SHIB gained 30% over the past week, far outpacing gains by Dogecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP over the same period.

Claude AI suggests that if SHIB breaks out above the $0.000025 resistance level, bullish momentum could position it at $0.0006678 by year-end, representing a staggering 7,000% increase from its previous ATH of $0.00008616 set in October 2021, since which it has fallen 89%.

Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu ecosystem continues to expand, with Shibarium, its Layer-2 network, delivering faster transactions, lower fees, better developer tools, and enhanced privacy features. This growing utility gives SHIB more staying power than most meme coins.

Solana (SOL): Claude AI Predicts Up to 500% Bullish Rally

Solana ($SOL) enters 2025 as one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems. The network supports nearly $9 billion in total value locked (TVL) and maintains a market cap of about $77.5 billion. Developer activity and adoption remain strong.

New Solana ETFs from firms like Bitwise and Grayscale have renewed investor interest, drawing parallels to early Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF adoption.

Thanks to a heavy correction in Q4 2025, SOL is currently trading near $138. In a bullish scenario, Claude AI projects a 550% rally, potentially reaching $900, triple SOL’s previous ATH of $293 set in January.

This is Claude’s absolute best-case scenario, although it also projects scenarios where SOL hits $320 or $644, so the AI sees strong prospects for Solana holders.

Earlier in 2025, SOL peaked at $250 before retracing to about $100 in April. Technical patterns indicate the token may be emerging from a bullish flag formation, while growing institutional interest in real-world asset tokenization (by Franklin Templeton and BlackRock, no less) adds credibility to the more optimistic scenarios.

Maxi Doge (MAXI): Early-Stage Meme Coin Not Included in AI Forecast

While Claude AI focuses on established cryptocurrencies, early-stage presale tokens can offer outsized growth potential. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is one such project, having already raised over $4.4 million as it positions itself as a next-generation Dogecoin.

MAXI features the character of Maxi Doge, a hyperactive crypto enthusiast, leaning into meme culture with themes of extreme leverage trading, heavy lifting, and community rallies.

Built as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, MAXI benefits from energy efficiency and strong developer support compared to Dogecoin’s proof-of-work system.

The presale offers staking rewards up to 70% APY, which gradually decrease as more participants join. MAXI currently trades at $0.0002765 in the latest presale round, with automatic price increases planned for future stages. Tokens can be purchased via MetaMask or Best Wallet.

Dogecoin stands no chance!
