War news may be dominating headlines, but Alibaba AI believes crypto’s mid-to-long-term prospects look better than ever.

Market behavior suggests that investors may have already absorbed the impact of war-related risks earlier in the year, following selloffs triggered by former President Trump’s rhetoric around possible U.S. military escalation involving Greenland and Iran.

As such, Alibaba AI predicts sweltering new highs this year for XRP, BTC, and ETH.

XRP ($XRP): Alibaba AI Forecasts a 9x Move Over the Next 10 Months

In a recent update, Ripple reaffirmed that XRP ($XRP) is the key to positioning XRP Ledger (XRPL) as a global, enterprise-ready payments infrastructure.

With fast settlement speeds, and ultra-low transaction costs, XRPL could capture an early advantage in two of crypto’s fastest growing segments: stablecoins and tokenized real world assets.

XRP is currently trading near $1.38, and Alibaba AI predicts a potential climb toward $12 this year, a ninefold return for current holders.

Technical data adds weight to the bullish call. XRP’s relative strength index (RSI) is hovering around 43, while price action has found support near the 30-day moving average, signalling that the extended consolidation phase could be over.

Further upside catalysts include rising institutional involvement following the launch of U.S.-listed XRP ETFs, Ripple’s expanding international partnerships, and potential regulatory clarity should the CLARITY bill pass in the U.S. later this year.

Bitcoin (BTC): Alibaba AI Eyes a $155,000 New Year Target

The first and biggest crypto, Bitcoin ($BTC), reached an all-time high of $126,080 on October 6 before shedding nearly 50% of its price in the months following.

Despite recent volatility, Alibaba suggests Bitcoin remains on a long-term growth trajectory, with 2026 possibly peaking at $150,000.

Often referred to as digital gold, Bitcoin attracts risk-averse institutional and retail investors seeking diversification and protection against inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Bitcoin currently represents about $1.3 trillion of the $2.4 trillion total crypto market. Much of its recent losses followed sharp pullbacks after the U.S. threatened military involvement in Iran and Greenland.

Accelerating institutional adoption and reduced supply following the latest halving event could be key drivers pushing Bitcoin to new highs this year.

If Trump delivers on his promice for a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve then BTC could even peak far higher than Alibaba suspects.

Ethereum (ETH): Alibaba AI Says ETH to Hit $6,000

Ethereum ($ETH) is the leading smart contract platform and the backbone of decentralized finance.

With a market capitalization of approximately $239 billion and $53 billion locked on chain, Ethereum is the primary settlement layer for on-chain economic activity.

Its proven security, leadership in stablecoins, and early momentum in real-world asset tokenization position Ethereum as a strong candidate for deeper institutional adoption.

That hinges on regulatory progress. Approval of the CLARITY bill by U.S. lawmakers could provide the certainty institutions need to deploy capital on Ethereum.

ETH currently trades under $2,000, with major resistance expected around $5,000 as seen by last August’s ATH of $4,946.05.

A decisive break above $5,000 has Alibaba hypothesizing $6,000 ETH by Christmas.

Maxi Doge: Early-Stage Meme Coin Targets Outsized Returns

Alibaba thinks XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum may offer substantial growth this year, which will ultimately be great for meme coins.

And one high upside potential new meme coin investors are piling into is Maxi Doge ($MAXI). It has raised $4.6 million in its ongoing presale as investors bet on Maxi dethroning Dogecoin.

Maxi Doge claims to be Dogecoin’s louder, degenerate, long-lost gym-bro cousin, evoking the viral energy of meme coins during the 2021 bull run.

Built as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, MAXI leaves a significantly smaller environmental footprint compared to Dogecoin’s proof-of-work model.

Early presale participants can currently stake MAXI for yields of up to 67% APY, with returns gradually decreasing as more tokens enter the staking pool.

The token is $0.0002806 in the current presale phase, with automatic price increases scheduled at each funding milestone.

Purchases can also be made with a bank card.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
