Google's Gemini AI has released a series of price predictions for three major altcoins—XRP, Solana, and Cardano—projecting significant gains by the end of 2026 and into 2027. The forecasts are based on the anticipation of a major crypto bull run that could propel these assets to new all-time highs, with scenarios suggesting potential gains of up to 10x for investors.
For XRP (XRP), Gemini AI suggests an upside target of $8 by 2027. The token started 2026 strongly with a 19% gain in the first week of January and is currently trading near $2.07. The prediction hinges on sustained momentum, bolstered by reduced regulatory uncertainty following Ripple's legal victory over the SEC in 2025 and the ongoing influx of institutional capital via spot XRP ETFs in the U.S.
Solana (SOL) is projected to reach $500 in a strongly bullish environment, representing a roughly 250% increase from its current price of around $142. The network's growth is supported by $9 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) and a market cap of approximately $79.6 billion. The launch of Solana ETFs by asset managers like Bitwise and Grayscale in late 2025, alongside growing institutional interest in real-world asset tokenization from firms like Franklin Templeton and BlackRock, are cited as key bullish catalysts.
Cardano (ADA) could see an 800% surge to around $3.50 by early 2026 from its current price of approximately $0.39, surpassing its previous all-time high of $3.09. Despite trading at its lowest price since October 2024, Cardano's fundamentals—including a market cap above $14.4 billion, over $179 million in TVL, and its methodical, research-driven development—position it well for a potential DeFi-driven bull cycle. The analysis notes a remote risk of collapse should macroeconomic conditions worsen.
Separately, the articles also mention the speculative meme coin Maxi Doge (MAXI), which has raised over $4.4 million in its presale. Priced at $0.000278, it offers staking rewards up to 70% APY and is presented as a high-risk, sentiment-driven play potentially poised to benefit from a memecoin market recovery.
