As the last few weeks have already demonstrated, the crypto market can be difficult to navigate at the best of times – at least for humans. From flash crashes to turbulent chop and constant speculation about where prices could go next, everyday market events naturally provoke emotions like fear and greed, which can in turn lead to bad trading and investment decisions. Since AIs like ChatGPT are designed to sort through massive amounts of data in seconds, and make their choices based purely on logic and real-world information, many analysts now consider them indispensable tools and even collaborators.

One coin that really has investors scratching their heads this week is XRP (XRP), which has now spent two straight weeks ranging between $2.27 and $2.64. So, we decided to put ChatGPT to the test, feed it the latest market data and news about XRP, and ask the AI where it thinks this coin’s price will go next. Its response might surprise you – and ChatGPT also highlighted PEPENODE (PEPENODE), a Web3 gaming project still in its presale phase, as a potentially better investment that could hit 30-50x gains under the right conditions.

ChatGPT Aims for $22 XRP Following ETF Expansion

More than a month on from the launch of REX-Osprey’s spot XRP ETF (XRPR), ChatGPT sees huge potential in this new investment vehicle. Since XRPR can act as a gateway for Wall Street heavyweights to gain exposure to XRP, ChatGPT’s initial short-term forecast features a $6.50 target – which would be roughly 2.6x from current prices.

Looking forward through 2026, ChatGPT predicts that XRP could be worth between $15 and $22, up to an 800% gain from today’s levels. This would put XRP’s market cap between $900 billion and $1.32 trillion – based on the assumption that XRPR will be joined by more XRP ETFs, and Ripple will continue to expand the XRPL (XRP Ledger) ecosystem beyond its current limits.

This would of course be good news for XRP bulls, who can factor the above analysis into their strategies – but ChatGPT still considers PEPENODE (PEPENODE) to be a far more bullish prospect.

PEPENODE to 50x? ChatGPT Predicts a Clear Path Ahead

Within the Web3 gaming space, PEPENODE (PEPENODE) has drawn widespread attention from serious investors due to its brand-new “Mine-to-Earn” concept. Through the project’s browser-based game, users will be able to build virtual mining farms populated with “Meme Nodes,” using PEPENODE to make in-game purchases and upgrades and receiving mining rewards in PEPENODE, PEPE, and FARTCOIN tokens. 70% of tokens used for purchases will be burned, creating a deflationary mechanism that could drive future price increases.

Assuming that PEPENODE launches effectively, acquires and retains a passionate userbase, and gets the PEPENODE token listed on centralized exchanges, ChatGPT considers a 30x-50x value multiplier to be reasonable over the long term. Since PEPENODE offers token staking (even during the presale) with APYs of up to 669%, and over 1.1 billion tokens have been staked so far, many investors are locking in to target serious gains and make the most of the gaming experience when it launches.

The PEPENODE presale is pushing closer to the $2 million milestone (which it could hit within the next week), and tokens are currently priced at $0.0011138. As the price will rise throughout the presale, the PEPENODE token will play a central role in the Mine-to-Earn game, and early investors will gain extra advantages such as more powerful Meme Nodes for even bigger rewards, the race is on to get in first.
