Alibaba’s new ChatGPT competitor, KIMI AI, has released explosive 2026 price projections for XRP, Solana, and Bitcoin, issuing a timely caution to investors with crypto FOMO this year.
According to the AI model, a prolonged bull market, strengthened by clearer and more constructive U.S. regulation, could push major cryptocurrencies to new all-time highs (ATHs) in the next major cycle.
Here’s how Alibaba’s AI expects three industry-leading cryptos to perform during the year.
Ripple’s XRP ($XRP) started 2026 with a bang, jumping 19% in the first week alone. It currently trades around $2.97, but Alibaba’s AI model suggests that in a bull market, XRP could surge 300% to hit $8 by 2027.

XRP ranked among the best-performing large-cap cryptocurrencies last year. In July, it posted its first new ATH in seven years, reaching $3.65 after Ripple secured a decisive legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
That ruling reduced regulatory uncertainty surrounding XRP and eased broader fears that an anti-crypto SEC could classify similar altcoins as securities. The re-election of pro-crypto Donald Trump to the White House further assuaged those fears.
XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 54, signaling balanced buying and selling momentum with plenty of room for further upside over the week.
The recent approval of spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. is beginning to funnel TradFi capital into the asset, echoing the sustained multibillion-dollar inflows seen in the wake of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Solana ($SOL) heads into 2026 as one of the fastest-expanding smart contract ecosystems in crypto. The network hosts $8.7 billion in total value locked (TVL) and carries a market capitalization exceeding $75.6 billion, alongside rapidly growing developer and user activity.
Renewed interest has followed the launch of Solana-focused ETFs by firms such as Bitwise and Grayscale, with many investors again drawing parallels to the recent ETF-driven growth cycles of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
After a sharp correction late in 2025, SOL has been stuck in a key support zone and currently trades at $134. Whether it breaches this zone is largely dependent on whether Bitcoin can recapture $100k, something that is likely to happen this year.
In an especially optimistic scenario, Alibaba’s AI project Solana could rally to $380 by 2027, a move that would represent about 184% upside from current prices while being significantly higher than its previous ATH of $293 set last January.
Solana continues to boast one of the strongest narratives among altcoins. Increasing institutional deployment of real-world asset tokenization on Solana, led by firms like Franklin Templeton and BlackRock, underscores the network’s long-term growth prospects.
Bitcoin ($BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency, set a new ATH of $126,080 on October 6. Looking ahead, Alibaba’s AI forecasts a powerful rally toward $170,000.
Often compared to digital gold, Bitcoin remains a preferred asset for both institutional and retail investors seeking a high-tech hedge against inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty.
BTC currently capitalizes $1.9 trillion of the $3.23 trillion total crypto market and trades near $93,000, having dipped 2% in the last 24 hours after the EU threatened retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. following Trump’s hints that the US could occupy Greenland.
Geopolitics aside, cooling inflation and improving regulatory clarity in the U.S. could push Bitcoin to set a new high watermark by mid-year, according to Alibaba’s projections.
Additionally, if U.S. policymakers deliver the long-promised U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, Bitcoin’s long-term upside could extend well beyond current forecasts.
Outside Alibaba’s AI predictions, the crypto presale market continues to attract investors hunting for high-risk, high-reward opportunities.
Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is one of January’s most talked-about presales, raising $4.5 million ahead of its anticipated exchange debut.
The project delivers a louche, gym bro parody of Dogecoin. Bold, degenerate, and deliberately absurd, Maxi Doge taps into the raw meme energy that originally powered meme coin culture.
After years of watching its cousin DOGE dominate the spotlight, Maxi Doge is assembling its own Maxi Doge Army, united by meme loyalty, degen trading tactics, and a shameless love of volatility.
MAXI is an ERC-20 token running on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, giving it a significantly smaller environmental footprint compared with Dogecoin’s proof-of-work design.
The current presale round offers staking rewards of up to 69% APY, though yields decline as more participants join the pool. MAXI is priced at $0.000279 in the latest stage, with automatic price increases in each funding round. Tokens can be purchased via MetaMask or Best Wallet.
Say goodbye to Dogecoin. Maxi Doge is the new dog in town!
