Crypto Bulls Charge: Pi Network, XRP & Story Tokens Defy Markets – June 25 Price Surge Analysis

Three altcoins flip the script while Wall Street sleeps.

Pi Network's Mainnet momentum hits escape velocity as miners-turned-traders fuel a 23% weekly surge. Meanwhile, XRP dodges another SEC bullet—because nothing says 'decentralized' like winning legal battles by outspending regulators.

Story Token's 40% monthly pump proves memecoins don't need utility when you've got influencer tweets and hopium. Bonus insight: If these charts were any greener, hedge funds would short oxygen next.

Ripple (XRP) extends recovery, building on the bullish momentum that followed the Israel-Iran ceasefire. XRP is up over 15% from the weekend sell-off low of $1.90, currently trading at around $2.21 at the time of writing on Wednesday. The positive sentiment surrounding XRP can also be attributed to developments within the ecosystem with the release of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) version 2.5.0 and key developments discussed during Ripple’s Apex 2025 summit.

Story (IP) slightly pulls back to exchange hands at around $2.99 at the time of writing on Wednesday, ignoring the launch of a $10 million fund focusing on supporting innovation at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Intellectual Property (IP), and blockchain technology, in collaboration with OKX Ventures.
