The crypto market is in the middle of a new debate: If Ethereum 
$2,804.64 Where could XRP’s value go if it actually reaches $62,000? This time, the issue is not limited only to analyst comments; the calculations of artificial intelligence-supported models have also fueled the agenda. Considering both market correlations and current macro trends, quite ambitious figures emerge.
Ethereum’s Historical Jump Scenario
The crypto ecosystem has long been Bitcoin 
$86,989.86 and is shaped by Ethereum’s market dominance. Therefore, activity in the big two assets serves as a direct road map for altcoins. Despite Ethereum’s limited daily increase of 0.10% on December 7, 2025, XRP slightly exceeded it and increased by 0.22%, indicating that this correlation is still strong.
At this point, the name that escalates the discussion is BitMine President Tom Lee. Describing Ethereum as the “future of finance”, Lee makes an analogy for ETH with 1971, talking about a revolutionary break just like when the dollar left the gold standard. According to him, tokenization, institutional demand and the return of the ETH-BTC ratio to its long-term average could push Ethereum to $62,000.
Ethereum reaching this target from the $ 3,040 level means a huge increase of approximately 1,939%.
Artificial Intelligence Model Draws 4 Different Path Scenarios for XRP
The artificial intelligence model, which analyzes how XRP might react if ETH reaches this aggressive target, offers four different price paths:
- Conservative scenario: If XRP only reflects 10% of Ethereum’s rise, the price could rise to around $6.
- Medium scenario: If 25% of the ETH rally is reflected in XRP, the price rises to around $11.90.
- Bullish scenario: A 50% reserve would push XRP to $21.70.
- Proportional scenario (speculative): XRP could reach $41.40 if it mirrors the entire percentage rise of ETH.
The model states that the realistic target is a range of $10–$12. The rise to the $20-40 band is only possible with market-wide altcoin hype or a strong catalyst specific to XRP.
These estimates are, of course, speculative. External factors such as regulatory actions, global liquidity conditions, new financial products, and expected interest rate policies in the US post-2025 can seriously affect the actual performance of XRP.
On the other hand, the strong institutional entries experienced on the Solana side last week also provided a striking example of how altcoins are affected by the movements of major assets. Two US-based funds opened a SOL position worth $600 million, pushing the price up 8% in a short time. This is a current demonstration of how other major altcoins, including XRP, could have a chain reaction if there was a big jump in Ethereum or Bitcoin.
