XRP Primed for $5 Surge as Summer Heats Up—Meanwhile, This Obscure Altcoin Eyes a 100x moonshot

Ripple's XRP shows bullish momentum as analysts predict a $5 breakout by August—fueled by regulatory clarity and institutional adoption. Not to be outdone, an under-the-radar altcoin quietly positions itself for a potential 10,000% explosion.

Market watchers note the usual suspects—FOMO, leveraged speculation, and that peculiar crypto phenomenon where every 'next big thing' promises generational wealth (until the next one comes along).

Will this finally be XRP's breakout season after years of sideways action? Can the mystery altcoin actually deliver triple-comma returns? Only two guarantees: volatility and hyperbolic Twitter threads.

Partnerships and ETFs Signal XRP Price Growth Ahead

XRP’s Core aim is to become a cross-border payments solution for institutions and banks.

A lawsuit filed by the SEC in late 2020 put the project’s growth on hold, but the new SEC chair, Paul Atkins, led the agency to drop the lawsuit. This squashed XRP’s legal overhang, enabling operational developments to recommence. In the past month, Ripple Labs, the founder of XRP, has secured numerous high-impact partnerships that contribute to its ultimate goal.

NASDAQ-listed Wellgistics Health integrated XRP for payments across its healthcare network with a $50 million credit facility, for instance.

Ripple Labs also partnered with UAE banks Zand Bank and Mamo to bolster institutional adoption of XRP in May.

The project has also made headlines this week as it was added to the NASDAQ crypto US Settlement Price Index, a crypto ETF with an approval deadline in November 2025. This signals real institutional interest in the asset, which bolsters community sentiment and could contribute to price growth this summer.

There are also more than ten spot XRP ETFs pending approval with the SEC currently. Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF has a deadline of 17 June. If approved, XRP could rocket.

It currently trades trades at $2.23, having rallied by 2.2% today, fueled by bullish market conditions and the NASDAQ ETF news. However, it remains down 5.7% this month.

Analyst Tips XRP to $5 as Bullish Pattern Forms

XRP has broken a higher and lower time frame descending wedge chart pattern, signifying that an upside breakout is imminent.

Popular crypto analyst CW predicts that the chart breakout pattern indicates XRP will reach $4.5 by the beginning of August, which could lead to a rally to $5 and beyond before the summer ends.

Other analysts are even more optimistic. For instance, James Crypto Space argues that if Bitcoin can rally to $150,000 this summer, then XRP could surge to $13.50. From its current price of $2.23, that would mark a whopping 505% gain.

If #BTC tops around mid August at ~$150k, then altcoins top around Sep 2025.

Assuming #XRP/BTC at ~0.00009, that gives us a $13.5 XRP!

But while the outlook for XRP is bright, new market emergent Solaxy is tipped for far bigger gains. The project is currently undergoing a presale, during which it has raised $45 million. However, it’s set to list on the open market in one week, leaving investors limited time to get involved.

New Solana L2 Solaxy Could Outpace XRP With 10,000% Gain

Solaxy is the first Solana layer 2 blockchain. It aims to process 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) to tackle the network’s congestion issue.

While Solana is renowned for its high speeds and low fees, it still grapples with congestion during periods of peak network activity. Congestion causes longer wait times and increased rates of transaction failures. Solaxy fixes this.

Its LAYER 2 blockchain will be cheaper, faster, and more reliable than Solana. But this won’t just make things run smoothly; it’ll open Solana to new use cases that were previously infeasible. Real-world micropayments, digital banks, the Internet of Things, and blockchain gaming – it’s all possible on Solaxy.

Solana has a market cap of $79 billion. XRP has a market cap of $131 billion. Yet, Solaxy has raised $45 million. It’s the largest Solana presale in history, demonstrating investors’ DEEP support. However, the discrepancy between its presale raise and the valuations of Solana and XRP signifies that $SOLX has massive room for growth.

Leading industry analysts anticipate huge gains. For example, Cryptonews analysts recently published a YouTube video speculating that $SOLX could see a 10,000% ROI when it lists on the open market.

With such a promising outlook and the presale ending in just seven days, it’s an exciting time for the Solaxy community.

Whether it achieves a 10,000% gain remains to be seen. But its strong use case, investor support, and the positive market conditions signal that $SOLX is primed for substantial returns in the weeks ahead.
