AI predicts this $500M-cap crypto could reach $100 billion for a 200x surge 
Cryptocurrency Mar 12, 2025 Share
As the cryptocurrency market crashed, following stocks, investors look for discounted opportunities with strong growth potential to build long-term positions. On that, Finbold asked Grok 3 AI for a fundamental analysis on MultiversX (EGLD), from a technological and investment perspective.
In summary, Grok evaluated a list of objective and well-documented MultiversX attributes, giving it a score 8 out of 10. The AI said EGLD does not make a good short-term buy, due to poor price action at around $500 million of capitalization, while saying it is a top-pick for mid and long term fundamental investing eyeing a $100 billion market cap.
From a tech perspective, Grok 3 agrees MultiversX is one of the most advanced blockchains to date. When asked if it would have MultiversX among its AI top picks to build a project, the answer was yes.

Fundamental analysis on MultiversX and Grok AI’s take
First, Grok 3, one of the most advanced AI models to date, evaluated eight categories of blockchain fundamental analysis. MultiversX scored 7.875 on average, with the AI rounding it up to 8 out of 10 points.
MultiversX fundamental analysis scores per category, according to Grok AI
Scalability got a 9/10 score, considering the fully implemented sharding technology, transactions per second (TPS) capacity, and performance. With 30,000 current TPS on mainnet, a 263,000 TPS achieved on a testnet, and a theoretical capacity superior to 1 million TPS thanks to its adaptive sharding—increasing with demand—MultiversX is one of the most scalable blockchain networks.
Decentralization got an 8/10 score, showing strong decentralization, but with room for improvements. The network has over 5,500 nodes, of which, 3,200 are active validators, losing only to Ethereum (ETH). Notably, MultiversX has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 9 for liveness, meaning nine entities have over 33% of all the nodes.
Speed and Finality got an 8/10 score, with sub-second finality in the roadmap for 2025, currently taking 6 seconds. The improvement, according to Grok AI, would put EGLD transactions among the fastest layer-one (L1) blockchains.
Security got an 8/10 score, with its proof of stake architecture, ESDT tokens being native assets, and onchain 2FA. Yet, the model warns against possible stake accumulation above the 51% threshold as a potential risk for the future. Which is the same risk for all blockchain networks’ security.
Cost and Accessibility got a 9/10 score, due to approximately $0.002 cost per transaction, below the industry’s average. MultiversX tech stack also offers developers the possibility to offer gasless (no fees) transactions to the end user. Still in accessibility, the chain has one of the lowest hardware requirements for its capacity in the space, which also contributes to decentralization.
Developer Experience (DevX) got a 9/10 score, with a top-down focus on development and a grassroots “build” culture. MultiversX offers familiar tools like Rust framework and WebAssembly, flexibility in programming languages, and a strong open source ethos. Comprehensive documentation and an active community further support developers, making it attractive for building applications and smart contracts.
Ecosystem and Adoption got a 7/10 score, as a small ecosystem’s size and adoption relative to larger blockchains could limit its current reach and utility. Still, the ecosystem is growing, together with implementations and partnerships, having big names associated with EGLD. As Finbold reported, an Alibaba Cloud partnership, upcoming MiCA-compliant stablecoins by xMoney, and a potential adoption in a Romanian city.
Economic Model (Tokenomics) got an 8/10 score, considering a capped EGLD supply, with full distribution by 2030. Moreover, Grok AI mentions a 30% network fees going to the developer of the used smart contract, incentivizing builders.

AI predicts EGLD to reach $100 billion market cap long-term
All things considered, we asked Grok 3 AI what would be the ideal market cap for EGLD, MultiversX base token. Notably, Grok was considering a $565 million capitalization, ranked 95 in CoinMarketCap, trading around $20 per token.
Based on fundamental analysis, a comparison with other leading blockchains at higher ranks, would put MultiversX among them, Grok said. This, however, looking at the mid and long term, as the market would need time to adjust accordingly.
For the medium term (one to five years), the AI predicts EGLD could reach a market cap between $10 to $30 billion, positioning the cryptocurrency next to Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and Avalanche (AVAX).
For the long term (five to ten years), Grok is even more bullish, siding MultiversX with Solana (SOL) and Ethereum. In this case, EGLD could reach between $50 to $100 billion market cap.

In conclusion, Grok AI agrees to Justin Bons’s claims that MultiversX is one of “the most technically advanced blockchain today.” It has achieved a remarkable fundamental analysis score and offers an interesting investment opportunity for mid and long-term investors.
Furthermore, it features among one of the AI’s top picks of decentralized infrastructures to build applications and smart contracts.
Nevertheless, investing is risky and fundamental analyses can often be complex and highly nuanced. Investors and builders should do proper research and due diligence before making important decisions. The short-term for EGLD is also risky, as mentioned by Grok in the analysis.
