When prompted carefully, China’s Alibaba AI, aka KIMI, can generate eye-popping price outlooks for major cryptocurrencies such as XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum over the next eleven months.
According to the model, a prolonged bull market combined with more defined and supportive regulation in the United States could propel leading digital assets to new record levels in the years ahead.
Here’s a look at Alibaba’s outlook for three cryptos, which it says will all post shocking new ATHs this year.
Ripple’s XRP ($XRP) began 2026 with notable momentum, gaining 19% in the opening week of the year. Trading near $1.89 at present, KIMI AI estimates that a sustained bull cycle could lift XRP to as high as $8 by the end of 2026. That scenario would imply gains of roughly 323%, or more than four times its current value.
XRP ranked among the strongest large-cap performers last year. In July, it reached its first new all-time high (ATH) in seven years, hitting $3.65 after Ripple achieved a decisive legal victory over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The ruling significantly reduced regulatory uncertainty around XRP and eased concerns that the SEC would broaden enforcement actions across the altcoin market. Sentiment also improved after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, which revived expectations of a more accommodating stance toward crypto.
On the charts, XRP’s Relative Strength Index is sitting around 41, suggesting selling pressure currently outweighs buying. However, since early January, price action has been forming a bullish flag pattern. Favorable macro trends and clearer regulation could provide the spark for a post-flag breakout capable of driving XRP toward KIMI’s $8 target.
Strengthening the bullish outlook, newly approved spot XRP ETFs in the U.S. are beginning to draw interest from traditional investors, echoing the institutional inflows seen after the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Bitcoin ($BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, set a fresh all-time high of $126,080 on October 6. Looking forward, Alibaba anticipates that the broader uptrend could continue, with potential targets nearing $250,000.
Frequently compared to digital gold, Bitcoin remains a favored asset among both institutions and retail investors seeking a technology-driven hedge against inflation and global economic uncertainty.
BTC represents roughly $1.8 trillion of the $3.06 trillion total crypto market and currently trades around $87,800. It slipped last week following signals from the European Union about possible retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., sparked by renewed remarks from Donald Trump regarding Greenland.
Beyond short-term geopolitical noise, easing inflation and improving regulatory clarity in the U.S. could allow Bitcoin to set multiple new all-time highs this year, according to KIMI’s analysis.
In addition, if U.S. policymakers move ahead with the long-discussed idea of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, Bitcoin’s long-term upside could extend well beyond current forecasts.
Ethereum ($ETH), the leading blockchain for smart contracts, decentralized applications, and DeFi, continues to anchor much of the Web3 ecosystem.
With a market cap well over $351 billion and around $69 billion in total value locked (TVL) across DeFi protocols, Ethereum remains the primary center of on-chain economic activity.
Its reputation for security, reliable settlement, and early leadership in stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization positions Ethereum well for deeper institutional adoption, particularly if U.S. lawmakers deliver clearer, more comprehensive crypto legislation.
ETH is trading near $2,900, with major resistance expected around $5,000. The asset last set an all-time high of $4,946.05 in August.
If KIMI’s bullish scenario materializes, a clean break above $5,000 could pave the way for multiple new highs this year, potentially pushing ETH into the $7,500 to $25,000 range.
Outside of Alibaba’s ken, Maxi Doge ($MAXI) has become one of January’s most discussed meme coin presales, raising over $4.5 million ahead of its planned exchange listings.
The project adopts an exaggerated, gym-bro parody of Dogecoin. Deliberately loud and over-the-top, Maxi Doge fully embraces the hyper-energetic meme culture that first brought meme coins into the mainstream.
As Dogecoin’s influence matures, Maxi Doge is assembling its own Maxi Doge Army, rallying traders drawn to high-risk speculation, sharp price movements, and filthy degen memes.
MAXI is launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, giving it a smaller environmental footprint compared with Dogecoin’s proof-of-work design.
Early buyers can stake MAXI during the presale for yields of up to 69% APY, with rewards declining as more participants enter the pool. The token is currently priced at $0.0002801 in the latest presale stage, with automatic price increases set at each new funding milestone. Purchases are supported through MetaMask and Best Wallet.
Say goodbye to Dogecoin. Maxi Doge is the new dog in Memesville!
