Countless traders have tried to predict crypto’s future – but what happens when Google’s AI, Gemini, chimes in with its own crypto price predictions?
Now that summer is here, Gemini’s latest forecast offers a glimpse into where BTC, XRP, and SOL might be in just six months.
Keep reading to see how its algorithmic outlook stacks up against the market.
Gemini Thinks Bitcoin Is Aiming for $150K on Halving & ETF Buzz
Let’s start with the big one: Bitcoin.
Currently, BTC is holding around $105,350 – firmly above the psychological $100,000 barrier, despite some recent fluctuations.
But what’s Gemini’s call for where it lands by New Year’s Eve?
Google’s AI predicts Bitcoin will surge to between $150,000 and $180,000 – and its reasoning is convincing.
We’re right in the middle of the post-halving cycle (the supply cut that happened back in April 2024), and history tells us that this phase often drives bull runs.
Plus, the spot BTC ETFs are performing well, expected to pull in $55 billion this year.
These large investors are constantly sipping up supply – and that creates real upward pressure.
Throw in a potential dovish Fed pivot (lower rates usually boost risk assets like BTC), and the bullish bets flooding the options market, and Gemini’s optimism starts to make a lot of sense.
XRP Primed to Explode if the SEC Cloud Lifts, According to Gemini
Shifting gears to XRP, it’s currently trading around $2.20, yet it has dipped by around 3% over the past week.
Yet Gemini believes XRP could be about to go on a serious bull run.
The AI predicts a potentially explosive move, estimating XRP could land between $4.50 and $7.00 – double or triple its current value.
Everything hinges on one massive catalyst: the end of that years-long SEC lawsuit hanging over XRP.
Gemini thinks a favorable ruling – likely a much smaller penalty than originally feared – is the key that unlocks everything.
Major U.S. exchanges might opt to relist XRP if this happens, paving the way for retail investment.
It would also boost the approval chances of the spot XRP ETFs.
When you combine that with Ripple’s consistent work with banks using XRP for cross-border payments, Gemini thinks there’s a real chance for some serious gains.
Gemini Predicts Solana’s Speed, Devs & ETFs Could Fuel a Run to $380
Then there’s Solana, which is trading around $150 right now.
Gemini predicts that SOL could rally to a price range of between $250 and $380 by year-end.
The major catalyst is Firedancer – Solana’s network upgrade, which is set to hit the mainnet this year.
Think of it like rebuilding an F1 car’s engine mid-race: it aims to double network speed, slash delays, and squash those annoying outage concerns that spook investors.
Plus, Solana’s broader ecosystem is growing fast.
It’s now outpacing Ethereum in active developers, and its DeFi space is exploding with over $8.5 billion locked in.
Institutions are taking notice, calling SOL “treasury-asset worthy” and quietly testing staking pilots.
Also, there’s a 91% chance of a Solana ETF approval this year (per Polymarket), meaning you’ve got a powerful mix that’s pushing SOL toward new highs.
Is Solaxy a Dark Horse? Gemini Predicts Solana’s Turbocharged Layer-2 Could 200x
But Solana isn’t the only contender in its ecosystem.
Gemini is also bullish on Solaxy (SOLX) – a new Layer-2 project that could boost Solana’s growth even further.
Solaxy has crushed it in presale, raising almost $54 million as of the latest data.
It’s basically building a turbocharger for Solana – using rollup tech to batch transactions off-chain, aiming for 10,000 TPS while keeping fees dirt cheap.
Gemini sees serious potential here, predicting SOLX could rocket from its presale price of $0.001766 to between $0.17 and $0.35 by December.
That’s a potential 100-200x return if everything clicks.
The analysts at 99Bitcoins echo this view – calling Solaxy a “SOL gem.”
Gemini believes if Solana keeps surging toward $200 and its Firedancer upgrade lands smoothly, a well-timed, functional Layer-2 like Solaxy could explode.
Also, it bridges to Ethereum, integrates with Solana’s dev community, and boasts a meme-style energy that appeals to retail traders.
Solaxy even has a community of over 74,000 people on X (formerly Twitter).
If Solaxy delivers on its promises, it could become Solana’s go-to scaling solution – making today’s presale price look like a bargain.
