Uphold exchange has raised optimism in the XRP community after sharing double-digit price predictions from Grok, the AI chatbot on Elon Musk’s X platform.
The exchange shared an analysis from the AI bot, in which it justified XRP’s potential to soar over 3X from its current price.
XRP to Hit $10 by Halloween: Grok
In the discussion, Uphold asked Grok to predict the shortest possible timeline for XRP to reach $10 and provide supporting reasons for the projection.
In response, Grok predicted that XRP could reach $10 by Halloween 2025 (October 31). The AI sees late October as a high-conviction window for a breakout.
At the time of the chat, XRP was trading around $3.10, meaning a rally to $10 would require more than a 3x increase.
Notably, Grok’s reasoning centered on historical XRP surges and key catalysts expected in late October. These include the SEC’s decision on spot XRP ETF applications, with next month being the final deadline for rulings on most filings.
At the same time, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also has an October timeline to decide on Ripple’s banking charter application.
Grok noted that these events could “unlock billions” in institutional capital and trigger a rapid rally reminiscent of past crypto bull markets.
Historically, XRP has shown a tendency to surge dramatically toward year-end. One of its biggest gains was recorded in late 2017, with a mild repeat occurring in Q4 2024.
These occurrences contribute to the optimism surrounding a promising Q4 for XRP this year.
Other Dates: Christmas or New Year’s Eve
When asked for additional predictions, Grok provided two more potential timelines: December 25 and December 31, 2025. After further analysis, the AI deemed New Year’s Eve the most realistic date for XRP’s first touch of $10.
According to Grok, year-end catalysts such as further Federal Reserve rate cuts, XRP ETF approvals in October, and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin adoption could sustain a steady climb throughout Q4.
It argued that December 31 offers the longest runway for institutional inflows and holiday-season market momentum to push XRP into double digits.
Community Buzz
Uphold’s post caught the attention of the broader crypto community. It asked followers whether Grok’s Halloween prediction was “possible… or just spooky talk”. Some agreed with the outlook and even called for a bolder price target by then.
While XRP has a history of sudden bull runs in Q4, market watchers remain divided. Conservative forecasts from platforms like Kraken and CoinCodex, which Grok also cited, still see XRP ending 2025 between $3 and $5.
However, reaching $5 would already mark a new high for XRP. On the other hand, more bullish analysts project a year-end range of $10 to $20.
Based on these expectations, pundits like Kenny Nguyen are predicting a wave of new XRP millionaires by the end of 2025.
