DeepSeek Prediction: Bitcoin loses dominance, XRP, SOL and PI big pump by the end of the year

China's DeepSeek AI predicts that Bitcoin will lose its dominant position and be replaced by highly practical alts. DeepSeek believes that XRP, SOL, and PI could become leaders when the market conditions improve. XRP's price may rise to a maximum of 10 dollars by the end of the year, Solana is expected to soar between 500 dollars and 1000 dollars, while Pi Network is set to surge to 10 dollars.

DeepSeek is bearish on Bitcoin and bets on utility coins

Historically, catalytic events such as “Uptober” and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts have not brought about the bull market that people expected. While part of the reason lies in the controversial tariff policies from Washington, this decline has lasted for a month, indicating that the industry is undergoing significant transformation. DeepSeek's model shows that the cryptocurrency market is shifting from speculation-driven to utility value-driven.

Setting aside the positioning of Bitcoin as a means of value storage, the original intention of cryptocurrency design is to make our daily lives more convenient. For this reason, DeepSeek believes that XRP, Solana, and Pi Network are likely to become leaders when the market conditions improve. All three projects have clear practical application scenarios: XRP focuses on cross-border payments, Solana provides a high-performance smart contract platform, and Pi Network has pioneered a mobile mining model.

For believers, falling prices represent a good buying opportunity. DeepSeek AI believes that these three coins are currently the most worth buying cryptocurrencies, as they are ahead of most competitors in terms of technological innovation and practical applications. When the market cools down from the speculative frenzy, projects that can truly solve real problems will stand out.

XRP predicted to pump 400% by year-end, legal victories paving the way

According to DeepSeek's model, XRP may become one of the cryptocurrencies with the largest price increase in the last few months of 2025, with predictions showing its price could rise between $5 and $10, an increase of about 339% from the current level of $2.28. Earlier this year, after Ripple won its lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), investor sentiment dramatically improved, driving the price of XRP to reach a seven-year high of $3.65 in July.

In the past 12 months, the price of XRP has risen by 350%, outperforming major assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ripple launched the RLUSD stablecoin, and CEO Brad Garlinghouse's active communication with U.S. politicians has established the company as compliant and forward-looking in the ever-changing regulatory environment. This image continues to attract the attention of institutional investors and retail traders.

The chart pattern of XRP remains encouraging, with multiple bullish flag patterns continuing into early 2025, indicating that this trend may persist. If new catalysts emerge, such as the approval of an ETF, the expansion of global partnerships, or clearer cryptocurrency legislation in the United States, XRP could potentially reach the maximum target price of 10 dollars set by DeepSeek before Christmas.

DeepSeek has three major reasons for being optimistic about XRP

Legal Certainty: The victory in the SEC lawsuit eliminates the greatest regulatory risk and paves the way for institutional funds to enter.

Practical Application Maturity: Ripple's cross-border payment network has collaborated with hundreds of financial institutions worldwide.

Stablecoin Layout: The launch of RLUSD stablecoin strengthens Ripple's ecosystem integrity in the payment domain.

From a technical perspective, XRP is currently in a consolidation phase, but the support level is solid. Once it breaks through the previous high of $3.65, it will enter the price discovery phase, with $5 being the first psychological barrier, and $10 requiring significant catalysts such as ETF approval to drive it.

Solana predicted to break a thousand dollars, ETF is the key

Solana continues to solidify its position as one of the fastest-growing smart contract platforms, with a market cap exceeding $89 billion and a total locked value (TVL) in the DeFi ecosystem surpassing $10 billion. The recent approval of Bitwise and Grayscale's Solana ETFs in the United States has reignited enthusiasm among institutional investors. The influx of funds may resemble the situation seen during the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, and is expected to drive a new wave of pump.

Solana is known for its lightning-fast transaction speeds, almost zero fees, and wide applications in tokenization and stablecoin solutions, making it an enterprise-grade blockchain. The price of SOL reached $250 in January, dropped to around $100 in April, and is currently trading close to $162, which is about 45% lower than the historical high of $293 earlier this year.

After breaking through the bullish flag pattern, DeepSeek predicts that Solana could soar between $500 and $1000 by the end of the year, considering that the next bull market cycle is likely to be dominated by highly practical alts. This is an ambitious yet realistic target. The $500 target implies a pump of about 208% from the current price, while the $1000 target requires a pump of 517%.

DeepSeek's model suggests that the approval of the Solana ETF is the most critical factor driving price increases. The launch of the Bitcoin ETF attracted hundreds of billions of dollars in institutional funds, and if the Solana ETF can replicate a similar effect, even attracting just one-tenth of that amount would be sufficient to push SOL's price to break historical highs. Additionally, Tether has recently integrated USDt and Tether Gold into Solana, bringing $175 billion in cross-chain liquidity to the network, further strengthening its position as an enterprise-level financial infrastructure.

Pi Network predicts a pump of 45 times the most aggressive target

Pi Network has pioneered the “click mining” model for mobile devices, allowing users to log in daily and click the application to earn tokens through their smartphones. The current price is trading around $0.22, and DeepSeek predicts that the stock will soar to $10, achieving a 45-fold return from the current level. This is already a very optimistic prediction, but DeepSeek has even set the upper target at $50, although such an extreme pump is almost impossible given the current market conditions.

Nevertheless, the continuous updates from developers and recent announcements have added credibility to the viewpoint that the fate of PI will change. Since its listing in February 2025, the price of PI has fluctuated wildly, soaring 171% in May. Currently, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) is around 35 points, close to the oversold area, which may indicate undervaluation, suggesting that a rebound may be imminent.

Pi has recently invested in the AI startup OpenMind and successfully completed a proof of concept, demonstrating that node operators can run computations for third-party companies. The team has also launched a testnet for a decentralized exchange, automated market makers, and liquidity providers, while introducing an upgraded KYC verification system that has enabled millions of users to transfer the Pi tokens they have mined to the mainnet.

Three Major Developments of Pi Network

AI Calculation Integration: Collaborating with OpenMind to prove that nodes can run calculations for third parties, opening new revenue models.

DeFi Ecosystem Construction: Launch of DEX, AMM, and liquidity provider testnet, improving financial infrastructure.

KYC System Upgrade: Millions of users have completed verification and transferred tokens to the mainnet, with circulating supply gradually unlocking.

DeepSeek believes that the $10 target for Pi Network is aggressive, but not entirely impossible. The key lies in whether the project can convert its massive user base (reportedly over 50 million registered users) into actual ecosystem activity. If the DeFi ecosystem successfully launches and attracts significant trading volume, the practical value of Pi will increase substantially. The $50 upper target would require an extremely optimistic scenario, including a global adoption surge and mainstream payment integration.
