Perplexity predicts that in the second half of 2025, XRP, ETH, and DOGE may reach unprecedented all-time highs.

The artificial intelligence platform Perplexity predicts that driven by the impressive price surge of Bitcoin (BTC), leading altcoins may reach unprecedented heights in the second half of 2025, including Ripple (XRP), Ethereum (ETH), and DOGE.

Earlier this week, the price of Bitcoin broke $122,838, setting a new all-time high (ATH). Analysts believe that this momentum may continue and could accelerate the global adoption of cryptocurrencies.

The surge in Bitcoin has sparked widespread optimism among investors, with more and more speculating that a bull market even stronger than the legendary rebound of 2021 may be on the horizon, pushing many major alts into new valuation territories.

Ripple: The potential of the cross-border payment leader will double

According to Perplexity's prediction, by the end of 2025, the price of Ripple's XRP could soar to $20, an increase of nearly seven times from the current valuation of $3.25.

This highly bullish outlook is supported by the continuously expanding institutional adoption, a clearer regulatory environment, and market speculation surrounding the XRP spot ETF—an event that could open the floodgates for retail and institutional capital inflows.

XRP, as a fast, cost-effective, and compliant cross-border payment solution, continues to enhance its reputation. In 2024, the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) praised XRP for facilitating rapid global transactions without relying on traditional intermediaries.

A major court ruling in 2023 determined that the retail sales of XRP do not constitute a securities transaction, weakening the SEC's long-standing position against XRP and the broader altcoin market beyond Bitcoin.

In March of this year, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced the official end of the protracted legal dispute, eliminating a key unresolved issue regarding XRP and restoring investor confidence in the cryptocurrency industry.

However, to reach the ambitious $20 milestone, a catalyst is needed, likely in the form of progress in U.S. regulation, as the crypto industry continues to lobby for clearer guidance.

Due to the buying pressure from whales, XRP is currently experiencing strong momentum, having risen 32% over the past week.

These purchases have caused its relative strength index (RSI) to soar to 86, and traders are likely to cash out this weekend. Therefore, XRP may find it difficult to challenge its historical high of $3.40 set in 2018 this weekend, but it may not be the case. Currently, the price of XRP is $3.26, just 4.4% lower than this high.

XRP is still the best performing large-cap cryptocurrency, having risen 442% over the past year, far surpassing Bitcoin's 83% increase.

Ethereum: Blue-chip public chain leaders will gain nearly 4 times the returns

Ethereum maintains its position as the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, exceeding $411.7 billion, and serves as the core infrastructure layer for decentralized applications.

Ethereum dominates the smart contract and DeFi space, with a total locked value exceeding $77.6 billion, solidifying its indispensable position in Web3.

Perplexity expects ETH to potentially rise to $5,000 by the end of the year, a significant increase from the current price of about $3,403.

Supporting this forecast are the upcoming network upgrades, its foundational position in decentralized finance and NFTs, and the increasing institutional adoption—especially the new spot ETFs providing regulated exposure to ETH.

In a bull market, Ethereum could even approach the target price of Perplexity in the fall. However, Ether is currently oversold, so some short-term profit-taking will suppress its pump. Ethereum may also face resistance around $3,600, but any decline could be offset by support at around $3,200.

If Trump promotes comprehensive cryptocurrency regulatory reforms and provides clearer legal pathways, it could unleash further market growth, and additional upside potential may be realized.

Recent accumulation by large investors has further strengthened this expectation. After consolidating within a descending wedge pattern, ETH rebounded from $1,800 to $2,412 in early May, indicating a resurgence of interest from institutional investors.

DOGE: The first meme coin expected to soar significantly

DOGE was initially created in 2013 as a meme-based imitation, and now its market cap has exceeded $32.15 billion, backed by a strong community and continually expanding usability.

DOGE usually reflects the price trends of Bitcoin, combining meme-driven volatility with longevity.

DOGE is currently priced at $0.2139, having increased by 4.5% in the past 24 hours and 19% over the past week. Its RSI reading is 69 and shows an upward trend, indicating that buying momentum is strengthening as Bitcoin continues to challenge recent highs.

Technical analysis indicates that from November to April, a clear descending wedge pattern has formed, suggesting a potential upward breakout in the near term.

Perplexity predicts that DOGE may reach 1.18 USD in a long-term bullish trend, implying a return of up to 5.5 times.

In terms of applications, major companies and public figures continue to support DOGE. Some Tesla products have accepted DOGE as payment, and platforms such as Revolut and PayPal have also integrated it into their payment systems, enhancing the applicability of DOGE in the real world.
