What’s Next for Ether, Solana, XRP and Other Majors as Bitcoin Clears $118K

Bitcoin just bulldozed past $118K—now all eyes turn to the altcoin heavyweights. Here’s the playbook for what’s next.

Ether: The DeFi Juggernaut Flexes

With ETH 2.0 staking yields still printing money, Ethereum’s gas wars might just be worth the toll. Institutional inflows? Unstoppable.

Solana: Speed Demon or Overclocked Hype?

500K TPS sounds great until the network coughs—again. But with VC cash flooding in, SOL’s rally could defy skeptics (for now).

XRP: The Phoenix Nobody Expected

Ripple’s legal wins turned this ‘zombie coin’ into a compliance darling. Banks are nibbling—yes, actual banks—but can it outrun its own supply glut?

The Bottom Line

While TradFi analysts scramble to justify their ‘crypto winter’ calls, smart money’s already rotating into alts. Just don’t expect Wall Street to admit it until Q3 earnings miss.
