Anthropic’s AI platform “Claude” has offered its take on where crypto may be headed—and the outlook, at least according to the data, leans bullish. Following Bitcoin’s dramatic climb to $111,814 on May 22, interest across altcoins is picking up again, and investors are beginning to reassess their strategies.
Claude’s model considers a range of factors—from market sentiment and technical indicators to macro conditions and regulatory developments. And its forecasts include not just the usual blue-chip suspects, but also a rising project that’s turning heads during presale.
Ethereum ($ETH) — Leading the Next Leg of the Crypto Boom?
Ethereum remains the backbone of decentralized finance—and its fundamentals haven’t changed. Launched in 2015, it’s now the second-largest crypto asset, with a market cap north of $306 billion.
Much of Ethereum’s strength lies in its flexibility. Its smart contract functionality powers everything from lending protocols to NFT marketplaces. As of now, over $60 billion in total value is locked (TVL) across its ecosystem.
Claude’s forecast? ETH could reach $6,500 before the end of 2025—a 2.6x move from its current level near $2,515.
There are a few factors fueling this projection. Ethereum’s position as the go-to infrastructure for Web3 is cemented, and the recent approval of spot Ethereum ETFs has brought traditional finance into the picture in a meaningful way. Meanwhile, a potential pro-crypto regulatory push under a second Trump administration could be the final catalyst for mass adoption.
From a technical standpoint, the chart shows promise. After consolidating into a falling wedge pattern, ETH bounced in April—jumping from $1,800 to over $2,400 within days. That kind of movement usually points to renewed interest from large players.
Cardano ($ADA) — A Slow Burner Ready to Surge?
Cardano has always played the long game. Built by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, it’s known for its methodical approach and peer-reviewed development framework. And while some view that as slow-moving, others see it as sustainable.
Its current market cap of $23.9 billion puts it firmly in the top 10, with growth numbers starting to close the gap on competitors like Solana.
Claude’s price prediction? ADA could reach $2.05 by year’s end—a significant move from today’s ~$0.66 price tag.
Recent political chatter may be helping. There are rumors that Cardano could be added to a hypothetical national “crypto reserve” list—not as a tradable asset, but one acquired through enforcement seizures and held due to its tech resilience.
Chart-wise, ADA has been forming a bullish descending wedge since late 2024. With strong support at current levels and resistance around $1.10, a breakout to $1.50 before summer’s end seems within reach.
Ripple ($XRP) — A Regulatory Turnaround Could Fuel Massive Upside
Ripple’s native token XRP has been in legal limbo for years—but the tides may finally be turning. Claude estimates a high-side target of $13 in 2025, a staggering 483% jump from its current price of $2.23.
A key driver is clarity around regulation. A recent court ruling declared that retail XRP sales do not violate U.S. securities laws—a landmark decision that paves the way for wider retail adoption.
Institutionally, Ripple got a big win too: the United Nations highlighted XRP’s role in building efficient, transparent payment systems that comply with global financial rules.
If XRP can convincingly break the $3 barrier in the coming months, the next technical level sits around $5. The full push to $13 would likely require political support for broader crypto policy—potentially under a second Trump term.
For now, XRP continues to find solid footing around $2, with bullish sentiment slowly returning.
SUBBD ($SUBBD) — A Breakout Candidate from the Presale Market?
While Claude’s top picks are mostly household names, early-stage investors are also watching the presale space, where smaller projects offer greater upside—if you get in early.
One name gaining serious attention is SUBBD, a token aimed at reinventing the $85 billion creator economy. The project blends AI tools with blockchain infrastructure to help content creators keep full ownership of their work while engaging directly with fans—no middlemen, no gatekeepers.
SUBBD has already raised over $617,000 in its ongoing presale, with the token currently priced at $0.05575.
What sets it apart? A gated premium ecosystem where $SUBBD gives users access to exclusive content, early releases, and personalized interactions. Token holders can also join a staking program that offers 20% APY—a fixed return backed by platform mechanics during the presale phase.
The goal is clear: give creators more control, give fans more value, and build a decentralized media landscape that actually works.
Final Take
Claude’s projections point to a strong second half of the year for top-tier tokens like ETH, ADA, and XRP. But smart money is also scouting smaller projects with long-term value—and SUBBD looks like a candidate with real potential.
If the bull market keeps rolling, both established giants and fresh newcomers could deliver substantial returns.
