At a Glance
- Four leading chatbots forecast XRP could climb between $5 and $6 in Q1
- PI price ceiling seen at $0.50 under perfect conditions
- $1.3 billion in net inflows into spot XRP ETFs since mid-November
- Why it matters: Traders want the coin with the clearest path to quick upside
Four popular AI chatbots have all sided with XRP as the stronger short-term bet, citing liquidity, regulatory clarity, and institutional momentum.
Bots Favor XRP Over PI
ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, and Google’s Gemini were asked to weigh which token could outperform in the first quarter.
ChatGPT highlighted three key edges for XRP:
- Deep liquidity
- Solid reputation
- Removal of regulatory uncertainty after the Ripple vs. SEC case closed
The bot set a maximum Q1 target of $6 for XRP, adding that major catalysts would be required.
PI was labeled “a longer-horizon, narrative-driven play,” and ChatGPT warned that without a listing on a top-tier exchange such as Binance, the token could keep sliding. PI recently nosedived to about $0.18, near its October 2025 all-time low.
Grok echoed the bullish XRP view, describing the token as having “the clearer path to meaningful upside in the short term.” It predicted $5 for XRP in Q1, while PI could reach $0.50 only if perfect conditions align.
Perplexity and Gemini also backed XRP, citing institutional momentum, regulatory clarity, and ETF inflows.
ETF Flows Bolster XRP
Spot XRP exchange-traded funds have pulled in almost $1.3 billion in cumulative net flows since launching in mid-November.
Issuers include:
- Canary Capital
- Bitwise
- Grayscale
- Franklin Templeton
- 21Shares
Gemini summarized the split market dynamics:
“XRP has transitioned from a speculative asset to a regulated, institutional tool with clear demand from ETFs. In contrast, Pi Network is still in a ‘discovery phase,’ where the high volume of circulating tokens from years of mobile mining acts as a heavy anchor on its price.”
Key Takeaways
- All four AI models see XRP as the safer near-term play
- $5-$6 price range cited for XRP in Q1
- PI upside capped at $0.50 under best-case scenarios
- ETF inflows of $1.3 billion reinforce institutional demand for XRP
