Here are the more detailed price predictions for 2035 (about 10 years from now, as of January 2026) for the main coins we discussed: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Chainlink (LINK). These are based on the latest expert panels, analyst models (e.g., Finder, Bitwise, Kraken, Changelly, PricePredictions.com, and others), institutional reports, and market trends as of early 2026.Current approximate prices (mid-January 2026): BTC: ~$95,000

ETH: ~$3,500–$4,000 (estimates vary slightly)

SOL: ~$140–$150

XRP: ~$2.00–$2.06

LINK: ~$13–$15

These forecasts are speculative — crypto is highly volatile, influenced by regulation, adoption, tech upgrades, macroeconomics, and black swan events. Always DYOR and invest only what you can afford to lose.1. Bitcoin (BTC)Bitcoin remains the safest long-term bet due to its limited supply, institutional adoption (ETFs, reserves), and "digital gold" status. Predictions for 2035 range widely, but most cluster around $1M+ in base cases.Bear case (worst): $150,000–$500,000 (if heavy regulation or low adoption; some conservative models like Kraken show ~$148,000).

Base case (realistic): $1,000,000–$1,420,000 (Finder panel average ~$1.02M; Bitwise/institutional models ~$1.3M–$1.42M, assuming strong ETF inflows and global hedge role).

Bull case (best): $2,000,000–$3,000,000+ (if hyper-adoption or USD weakness; some analysts see up to $2.95M).

Potential ROI from current ~$95k: 10x–30x+. Many see $1M as achievable by 2035 if cycles continue.2. Ethereum (ETH)Ethereum benefits from DeFi dominance, Layer-2 scaling, tokenization, and staking. It's expected to grow but face competition.Bear case: $5,000–$10,000 (conservative models like Kraken ~$5,122).

Base case: $25,000–$50,000 (some experts see $25k+ as settlement layer; optimistic panels up to $40k–$62k).

Bull case: $50,000–$100,000+ (if it captures massive Web3/AI/RWA adoption).

Potential ROI from current ~$3,500–$4k: 10x–25x+. Strong utility keeps it as a core holding.3. Solana (SOL)Solana's speed/low fees make it strong for DeFi, NFTs, and apps. High growth potential but with network risk.Bear case: $200–$500 (if competition or outages persist).

Base case: $1,000–$1,500+ (Finder panel average ~$1,539; many see $1k+ with ETF inflows).

Bull case: $2,000–$5,000+ (if it becomes a major Ethereum alternative; some AI/ML models up to $3k+).

Potential ROI from current ~$140–$150: 10x–30x+. Higher risk/reward than BTC/ETH.4. XRPXRP's fate ties to cross-border payments, Ripple adoption, and regulation. Post-SEC clarity boosts it.Bear case: $3–$8 (limited adoption scenarios).

Base case: $10–$15 (Finder panel ~$10; many see $10+ with global use).

Bull case: $30–$40+ (Telegaon max ~$40; extreme optimism higher if it dominates payments).

Potential ROI from current ~$2: 5x–20x+. Regulatory wins could accelerate this.5. Chainlink (LINK)Chainlink powers oracles for real-world data — key for DeFi/RWA/tokenization.Bear case: $20–$50 (competition rises).

Base case: $80–$150 (many models ~$88–$150; strong infrastructure role).

Bull case: $200–$300+ (if it becomes standard for cross-chain/RWA).

Potential ROI from current ~$13–$15: 6x–20x+. Utility-driven growth makes it a solid pick.Key influences for 2035: Positive: More ETFs (Solana/XRP/altcoins launching), institutional money, AI/Web3/tokenization boom, favorable regulation.

Negative: Recessions, bans, tech failures, or competition.
