One of ChatGPT’s strongest competitors, Perplexity AI, has issued a striking holiday outlook for XRP, Pi Network, and Bitcoin. The platform warns that all three assets could see heightened volatility in December, potentially soaring or plunging depending on broader economic trends and crypto-specific catalysts.
The crypto market has spent the past month in a deep correction triggered by a significant wave of Bitcoin selling, dragging most top assets down with it. BTC even touched an eight-month low near $82,000 last Friday.
Still, the long-term narrative remains generally positive. Innovation across the blockchain sector continues to accelerate, and projects with solid fundamentals, such as XRP, Pi Network, and Bitcoin, are likely to go the mile to adoption.
Below is Perplexity AI’s breakdown of both potential bullish and bearish scenarios for each coin in December.
XRP (XRP): Perplexity AI Sees December Potential Ranging From Current Levels up to $8
Perplexity AI’s bearish projection indicates that Ripple’s XRP ($XRP) could keep its current level of $2 all the way to Christmas if risk appetite doesn’t pick back up.
Such a drop would sharply contrast with XRP’s impressive surge earlier this year, when the token climbed to a seven-year high of $3.65 in July following Ripple’s major court victory over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
XRP has spent most of 2025 trading between $2 and $3. The asset’s relative strength index (RSI) sits at an oversold 27, as XRP sank 9% in the last 24 hours, in line with a broader market selloff that took 5% off the now $3.02 trillion market.
In a favorable environment, Perplexity’s upside scenario places XRP as high as $8. The SEC’s recent approval of nine XRP spot ETFs may support institutional inflows over the Christmas holiday period, mirroring the trend seen when Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs first launched. More ETF approvals could also be on the horizon.
Additional regulatory clarity or major partnerships could help push XRP into double-digit price territory by early 2026.
Pi Network (PI): Perplexity Forecasts Either a 120% Rally or Further Lows
Pi Network ($PI), known for its mobile-centric mining model that rewards basic daily engagement, continues to demonstrate notable resilience. Trading around $0.22, PI remains at the same price it was a fortnight ago, while Bitcoin and XRP both shed 10% over the period.
Perplexity outlines two opposing paths: in a bearish December, PI could slide further to roughly $0.18. Under bullish conditions, however, it could more than double up to $0.48, generating 120% returns for current holders.
After a prolonged decline, November appears to mark a turning point. Interest has picked up following Pi Network’s partnership with AI firm OpenMind, which showcased how Pi node operators can contribute computational power to external companies, a practical and scalable use of decentralized infrastructure.
The Pi testnet has also recently added support for decentralized exchanges, automated market makers, liquidity tools, and an improved KYC system, substantially increasing the project’s utility.
Bitcoin ($BTC): Perplexity AI Projects a Christmas Rise Toward $230,000 or an Epic Plunge Down to $75,000
Bitcoin ($BTC), the largest digital asset, recently set a new all-time high of $126,080 on October 6. Perplexity’s longer-term forecast suggests Bitcoin could push toward the $230,000 range by 2026.
Often described as digital gold, Bitcoin continues attracting significant institutional and retail capital as a perceived hedge during uncertain economic periods. BTC currently represents about $1.7 trillion of the total $3 trillion crypto market.
With inflation easing and investor sentiment improving ahead of the holidays, Bitcoin may soon retest earlier highs. The Federal Reserve’s latest interest-rate cut could also help stimulate demand and improve liquidity moving into December.
On the downside, further substantial selloffs could plunge BTC down toward $75,000. Should this happen, it will be a sign of a potentially long Bitcoin winter well into 2026.
However, Perplexity’s $230,000 projection remains achievable by early 2026, especially if the U.S. government follows through on commitments to deliver comprehensive crypto legislation.
Maxi Doge (MAXI): A Fast-Growing Meme Coin Missing From Perplexity’s Models
Although Perplexity AI sees potential pressure on major altcoins, presale tokens have continued to attract strong attention. One standout newcomer is Maxi Doge ($MAXI), which has already raised $4.2 million and promotes itself as the “next Dogecoin.”
MAXI’s storyline centers on the humorous character “Maxi Doge,” portrayed as plotting a lighthearted takeover after years of watching Dogecoin lead the meme-coin pack. The project relies on viral memes, community events, and an active social presence to fuel growth.
Built as an ERC-20 asset, MAXI benefits from Ethereum’s enhanced security, greater scalability, reduced environmental footprint, and larger developer ecosystem, advantages not present in Dogecoin’s older proof-of-work structure.
The project currently advertises staking yields up to 73% APY, though these rates will naturally decline as more users stake.
MAXI is priced at $0.000271 during its presale phase, with planned price increases in future rounds. Purchases are available via MetaMask or Best Wallet.
Dogecoin stands no chance!
