XRP and Solana Shatter Records: Here’s Why These Cryptos Are Mooning in 2025
XRP and Solana aren’t just climbing—they’re rewriting the playbook. As legacy finance scrambles to keep up, these digital assets are leaving skeptics in the dust.
The breakout no one saw coming
While Wall Street analysts were busy downgrading tech stocks, XRP and SOL quietly stacked gains like a DeFi whale accumulating dips. No fanfare, no CNBC hype—just relentless upward momentum.
Liquidity meets lightning speed
Solana’s throughput and XRP’s institutional foothold created a perfect storm. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are suddenly very interested in 'altcoins'—funny how that works.
This isn’t just a rally—it’s a middle finger to the 'crypto winter' doomsayers. And if history repeats? The SEC will probably try regulating this success into oblivion by lunchtime.
$151 (SOL) is trying to break free from the bear market, bolstered by increasing institutional investment. Analyst DonAlt emphasizes the startling similarity of XRP’s current consolidation structure to its formation eight years ago, suggesting an unbelievable potential leap of 35,000% from its current standing at $2.29. Simultaneously, solana is maintaining its hold at $152.83, with million-dollar acquisitions by DeFi Development and expectations for a spot ETF balancing sales pressure.

XRP Poised for a Historic Rally
Over the past year, XRP has surged by an impressive 374.1%, outperforming Bitcoin
$108,932 and Ethereum
$2,549. In the year’s first two quarters, it climbed 0.45% and 7.12%, respectively. DonAlt notes that XRP’s price has been trapped in the $2.17–$2.29 range, resembling the low-volume yet resilient base seen just before the 2017 explosion. According to the analyst, if this pattern breaks upwards, the previous peak recorded at $3.84 will merely be the initial target, with a more ambitious five-digit leap awaited.
The biggest catalyst that could ignite the rally is the anticipation of a spot XRP ETF approval. The SEC’s green light to convert the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund into an ETF paves the way for Bitwise and Franklin Templeton’s applications, with the market pricing a 95% chance of SEC approval for an XRP ETF by the year’s end. Ripple’s decision to drop its cross-appeal in the SEC lawsuit reduces regulatory uncertainty, strengthening expectations in this area.
Institutional Demand Bolsters Solana
Since March, Solana has been trading below its 50-week moving average, marking a nearly 3.2% drop to $152.83. The potential head-and-shoulder pattern on the chart and negative divergence in weekly RSI create a downward risk. Analysts indicate that the prevailing bearish scenario will be invalidated only if the price closes above $189.
Nevertheless, institutional appetite for SOL coins continues to rise daily. DeFi Development, listed on Nasdaq, has purchased 17,760 SOL, increasing their balance to 640,585 SOL (approximately $98 million). The SEC’s active review of spot Solana ETF applications has increased the number of firms considering Solana in treasury management. If institutional demand continues, the price is expected to overcome technical barriers and reach new peaks.
