China’s leading ChatGPT killer, DeepSeek AI, issues surprising December projections for XRP, Cardano, and Pi Network, cautioning traders that all three may experience heightened volatility throughout the month.

The wider cryptocurrency market has been in a pronounced downturn in recent weeks, with aggressive Bitcoin selling dragging nearly every top asset lower. BTC even touched an eight-month low near $82,000 last Friday, but today’s green candles helped the market to collectively add 5.7% in 24 hours, a possible sign of recovery.

Blockchain development continues at a rapid pace, and projects with established utility, including XRP, Cardano, and Pi, are widely viewed as resilient contenders positioned for eventual large-scale adoption.

Below is DeepSeek AI’s dual-scenario forecast highlighting the potential upside and downside risks for each throughout December.

XRP (XRP): DeepSeek AI Expects Either Total Collapse or XRP to $8

DeepSeek AI’s bearish projection suggests Ripple’s XRP ($XRP) could dramatically collapse by 91% from its current $2.18 level to around $0.20 in December if investor sentiment remains weak.

Such a move would stand in stark contrast to XRP’s dramatic surge earlier this year, when the token rallied to a seven-year high of $3.65 in July following Ripple’s pivotal court victory over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Throughout 2025, XRP has mainly oscillated between $2 and $3. Its RSI now sits at 57, rebounding from Monday’s oversold reading of 27 after XRP slid 9% within 24 hours, part of a broader pullback that wiped 5% from the total crypto market. Although today the market collectively rallied 6% and now capitalizes $3.24 trillion.

In a more bullish scenario, DeepSeek AI believes XRP could rise toward $8 in December.

The recent approval of nine U.S. spot XRP ETFs may attract fresh institutional capital during the holiday period, similar to the initial surge seen when spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs debuted. Additional ETF approvals are likely to follow.

Cardano (ADA): DeepSeek Predicts a Possible 2,173% December Breakout

Cardano ($ADA) continues to distinguish itself as one of the most academically driven and methodically developed blockchains in the industry. Founded by Ethereum co-creator Charles Hoskinson, the network emphasizes security, formal research, scalability, and long-term viability.

With a market cap above $16 billion and $193 million in TVL on chain, Cardano remains a major force among layer-1 blockchains, supported by an active developer base and an expanding catalog of decentralized applications.

DeepSeek AI forecasts ADA could reach approximately $10 by early 2026, an extraordinary 2,173% jump from its current trading range around $0.44 and more than triple its all-time high of $3.09 set in 2021.

Analysts argue that Cardano’s steady upgrades and strong fundamentals make it a potential standout in the next DeFi-driven bull market.

However, DeepSeek’s downside scenario warns that ADA could fall to roughly $0.25 if market weakness intensifies, representing a drop of just over 43% for current holders.

Pi Network (PI): DeepSeek Predicts Pi will Either Moon or Go to Zero

Pi Network ($PI), known for its mobile-friendly mining system that rewards simple daily participation, continues to show resilience despite wider market turbulence. The token trades near $0.23, up 1.5% over the last 30 days, while Ethereum, XR,P and Bitcoin are all down more than 10% over the same period.

DeepSeek outlines two spectacular pathways: under bearish conditions, PI could run to $0. But in a bullish December, the token could surge to roughly $150, offering gains of up to 65,117% for current buyers.

Following a prolonged downward trend, November appears to be a stabilizing month for PI. The token held its value better than the big hitters recently after Pi Network announced a collaboration with AI company OpenMind, showcasing how Pi node operators can supply computational resources to external organizations, a tangible, scalable application of decentralized infrastructure.

The Pi testnet has also rolled out new features, including decentralized exchange support, automated market makers, liquidity tools, and an enhanced KYC framework, all of which significantly expand the ecosystem’s capabilities.

Maxi Doge (MAXI): A Rapidly Growing Meme Coin Absent From DeepSeek’s Forecasts

While DeepSeek AI anticipates uncertain times for multibillion-cap altcoins, presale tokens, by virtue of their newness, have more room for substantial growth. One standout newcomer is Maxi Doge ($MAXI), which has already secured $4.2 million in funding as investors bet on it becoming the next major Dogecoin challenger.

MAXI’s storyline follows the rise of “Maxi Doge,” a crypto bro who has spent years honing his trading skills and preparing to dethrone Dogecoin as the meme coin heavyweight. The project leans heavily into viral humor, community interaction, and strategic social media campaigns to accelerate adoption.

As an ERC-20 token, MAXI benefits from Ethereum’s improved scalability, strong security profile, energy-efficient consensus, and expansive developer ecosystem, all areas where Dogecoin’s older proof-of-work model falls short.

The team is currently advertising staking rewards of up to 72% APY, though returns decrease as more users join the pool.

MAXI is priced at $0.000271 in the ongoing presale round, with scheduled price increases in later phases. Purchases can be made through MetaMask or Best Wallet.

Dogecoin stands no chance!
