Popular AI resource ChatGPT recently commented on the intriguing question of which crypto, XRP or Cardano (ADA), will be the first to reclaim the long-lost $1 threshold.

XRP and ADA are among the most famous billion-dollar cap altcoins, with a large pool of holders and enthusiasts. Interestingly, their communities do not always get along. Meanwhile, both assets share a characteristic price action of underperformance in recent years.

XRP and ADA Price Actions Compared

As of today, ADA sells for $0.3213, and the last time it was seen at $1 was two years ago, in May 2022. It came close to reclaiming this threshold early this year, reaching $0.801 before the bears overpowered the bull surge. Notably, Cardano has since crashed by over 65% to $0.27 from that point.

Meanwhile, when considering that ADA sold at $0.24 a year ago, its current price of $0.3213 reflects a profit of 24% for holders.

XRP’s price action mirrors ADA’s, though it has fared slightly worse. For instance, XRP last traded at $1 in November 2021. XRP attempted to recapture the $1 threshold after its lawsuit victory in July 2023 but encountered a roadblock at $0.93.

With the global uptrend in Q1, it made a similar but weaker attempt when it advanced to $0.74 in March. It quickly lost momentum for further gains.

Following this, XRP dropped to a low of $0.38 in July. It has since rebounded and now trades at $0.5374. Investors holding XRP for the past year have seen a modest 7% gain compared to ADA’s 24%.

Notably, both XRP and ADA have seen significant advancements in their underlying blockchains over the past years. However, these improvements have not yet been sufficient to push either coin back to the $1 mark.

ChatGPT Suggest which to Hit $1 First

The Crypto Basic consulted ChatGPT for insights on which asset, XRP or ADA, could reach $1 first. According to the AI tool, it depends on several factors, including market conditions, adoption rates, and regulatory developments.

Considering these factors, it argued that XRP could trump ADA’s movement. Specifically, it suggested a 3 to 12-month timeline for XRP to reclaim $1. As for the ADA, the prediction was a longer timeline of 6 to 18 months, citing the need for further technological advancements.

Besides, based on current price levels, ADA has a more formidable road challenge ahead. Specifically, XRP needs to rally by 86% to reclaim $1, while Cardano needs 211%, more than twice the XRP required surge.
