Pi Network’s PI and Ripple’s XRP are among the top-trending cryptocurrencies, driven by the large number of investors and frequent developments across both ecosystems.

We decided to check which asset could deliver stronger performance in the first quarter of the year and, for that purpose, asked four of the most popular AI-powered chatbots for their assistance.

Does XRP Have the Edge?

According to ChatGPT, XRP is better positioned for posting significant gains in the coming months due to its deep liquidity, solid reputation, and the removal of regulatory uncertainty (after the Ripple vs. SEC case was officially closed last year). It estimated that the maximum price the asset can reach throughout Q1 is $6, although it will require major catalysts.

PI, on the other hand, was described as “a longer-horizon, narrative-driven play.” ChatGPT suggested that without support from a leading exchange like Binance, the price may continue to decline in the near future. Recall that several hours ago, PI nosedived to approximately $0.18, which is quite close to the all-time low witnessed in October 2025.

Grok, the chatbot integrated within the social media platform X, shared a similar stance. It claimed that XRP has “the clearer path to meaningful upside in the short term, while PI remains trapped in a high-risk, low-momentum consolidation phase with limited near-term catalysts.”

Furthermore, Grok praised the cross-border token for its growing adoption and the advancement of the entire Ripple ecosystem, such as the progress of the stablecoin RLUSD. It predicted that XRP could explode above $5 during the first quarter of the year, whereas PI can reach a maximum of $0.50 if perfect conditions are met.

More in Favor of XRP

Perplexity and Google’s Gemini also leaned towards Ripple’s cryptocurrency. The former argued that XRP holds a stronger position to outperform PI in Q1, supported by institutional momentum, regulatory clarity, and ETF inflows.

The interest in spot XRP exchange-traded funds is indeed impressive. The companies that have launched such products so far include Canary Capital, Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares, and the cumulative total net flow since day one (in mid-November) has reached almost $1.3 billion.

According to Gemini, XRP and PI have two very different market dynamics. It claimed that the former has the upper hand because it is a “mature asset,” whereas the latter has been in a “make or break” phase over the past several months.

“XRP has transitioned from a speculative asset to a regulated, institutional tool with clear demand from ETFs. In contrast, Pi Network is still in a “discovery phase,” where the high volume of circulating tokens from years of mobile mining acts as a heavy anchor on its price,” it concluded.
