Donald Trump reiterated plans at Davos to boost U.S. crypto leadership, and market observers debated winners through the rest of his term. According to recent reporting, the AI model Gemini was asked which of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or XRP could gain most by 2029.
Since the inauguration, Bitcoin fell about 15% while many altcoins lost between 70% and 90% of value. Markets have reacted to policy signals and legal shifts rather than simple investor sentiment.
Gemini called XRP the most aggressive pick and Bitcoin the safest. It stated: “If I had to speculate on highest percentage return between now and 2029, the answer is likely XRP.”
The AI linked XRP’s upside to the end of legal uncertainty surrounding Ripple Labs and the U.S. case. It added: “XRP has been artificially suppressed by legal uncertainty since 2020. With the lawsuit settled and US banks now legally clear to use XRP’s on-demand liquidity (ODL), it has the most ‘catch-up’ growth to do.”
The administration created the Strategy Bitcoin Reserve in 2025, which the AI said acts as a government floor for price support. It also noted: “It captures the massive institutional capital that wants exposure to crypto without regulatory risk. It is the ‘King’s Guard’ of the portfolio.” (Ed. note: the CLARITY Act faces at least several weeks’ delay as the Senate Banking Committee shifts focus.)
Finally, Ethereum was described as the protocol play, likely to benefit mainly from broader deregulation.
