While messages towards the cryptocurrency market became stronger during Donald Trump’s presidency, price movements were contrary to expectations. In Davos, Trump reiterated that he was working towards the goal of making the United States the “capital of crypto.” During the same period, Bitcoin fell by approximately 15 percent after the inauguration, and most altcoins fell by 70–90 percent. What made the discussion interesting was the speculative choice made by the artificial intelligence model Gemini as to which could provide the highest percentage return between BTC, ETH and XRP until 2029.
XRP is the Cryptocurrency to Focus on According to Gemini
In the speculative election in question, Gemini quickly highlighted that XRP was the outlier option in the BTC-ETH-XRP trio and attributed the possibility of the highest percentage return to XRP until 2029. The AI model positioned Bitcoin as the “safest choice” and XRP as the “most aggressive” option. The basis for this expectation is the assumption that the Trump administration will reduce regulatory barriers.
Gemini’s justification is the claim that the price of XRP has been under pressure since 2020 due to legal uncertainty. The artificial intelligence model stated that XRP was overshadowed for a long time due to the lawsuit filed by the SEC against Ripple Labs during the Biden period, and that this uncertainty is now behind us. In this context, Gemini noted that with the conclusion of the case, US banks gained “legal clarity” on the on-demand liquidity (ODL) use of XRP, and therefore the “catch-up growth” area of XRP may be wider.
Bitcoin Written in the “National Policy” Line, Ethereum in the “Technology and Utility” Thesis
Gemini’s narrative on the BTC side is that Bitcoin has ceased to be just a transaction idea and has moved to the title of “national policy” thanks to the Strategy Bitcoin Reserve created in 2025. According to the artificial intelligence model, the possibility that Bitcoin being treated as a strategic reserve asset may create a “bottom” effect on the price, and in a scenario where institutional capital wants to access crypto while avoiding regulatory risk, there is a high probability that BTC will be the “protection continent” of the portfolio.
Trump’s messages in Davos also keep alive the expectation that additional crypto-focused regulations may be signed soon. The AI model noted that the legislation Trump is referring to is likely the CLARITY Act, but that regulation could face a delay of at least a few weeks, or even months, as the Senate Banking Committee shifts its focus to housing legislation.
He drew a different framework for Ethereum. Gemini sees ETH as a thesis focused on “technology and use case” and noted that the gain could come from a broader atmosphere of deregulation rather than a specific presidential order. The point of view of the artificial intelligence model is a picture where the “catch-up” dynamic after the lawsuit in XRP, the policy-oriented security perception in BTC, and the infrastructure and benefit narrative in ETH differ from each other.
