OpenAI’s artificial intelligence (AI) model, ChatGPT, has identified two standout digital assets it considers “no-brainer” buys, both currently trading below $5.
The selection timing comes as the broader cryptocurrency market stabilizes following recent sell-offs sparked by escalating tensions in the Middle East.
According to the AI model, these picks are backed by strong fundamentals and engaged communities that could help drive their long-term price growth.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano (ADA), trading at approximately $0.62, has long stood out for its academic rigor and methodical development.
Known for its peer-reviewed approach and careful rollout, the blockchain has steadily built a robust and expanding ecosystem without the volatility typically tied to hype-driven tokens.
ChatGPT noted that if ADA can break above $0.70 with strong volume, the token could be on track to revisit the $1.50 to $1.80 range in Q3.
Despite its slow and steady progress, the AI pointed out that Cardano still appears undervalued compared to other layer-1 networks like Ethereum (ETH), especially as its real-world use cases grow, notably in Africa, where it’s being used for digital identity and education initiatives.
XRP
XRP was ChatGPT’s second pick, praised for its resilience amid regulatory scrutiny. Once bogged down in a high-profile lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), XRP has since regained credibility and investor confidence after a court ruling found the asset was not a security.
However, legal proceedings are ongoing, with both sides pursuing a settlement. Currently trading at $2.13, XRP remains one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies for cross-border payments.
ChatGPT described it as “basically a sleeper giant” that could see renewed momentum if major institutional partnerships or adoption announcements emerge.
The AI model believes a move to $5 is realistic in the short to mid-term and even sees long-term targets in the $7 and $8 range if utility-driven demand continues to grow.
Asked how to split a hypothetical $1,000 investment, ChatGPT suggested allocating $600 to Cardano, citing its higher growth potential, and $400 to XRP due to its strong institutional ties and improving legal position.
