The crypto market is nearing a critical juncture, and investors are ramping up efforts to choose altcoins for future investments. We examine current trends with a focus on XRP, Solana, and Cardano.
XRP: Recovery and Investor Confidence
On August 21, 2025, XRP experienced extreme fluctuations, yet managed to recover by 6%, reaching $2.93 after a drop to $2.82. The increase in trading volume to 155 million tokens indicates heightened interest from large buyers. The resolution of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit has removed years of uncertainty, leading to the accumulation of nearly 900 million tokens in 48 hours. Analysts predict a potential rally to $8.50–$9 by Q4 2025.
Solana: Achievements and Prospects
Solana (SOL) is trading at $187.27, up 6.16% compared to previous days. The upcoming Alpenglow upgrade is expected to significantly boost network speed, potentially attracting more investors. With nine Solana ETF applications submitted, SEC approval in October 2025 could propel prices to the $225–$420 range.
Cardano: Growth and New Opportunities
Cardano (ADA) is recovering, trading at $0.88. During the pullback, over 130 million ADA were added. Technical indicators suggest a potential 'golden cross,' historically leading to gains exceeding 200%. Grayscale's ETF application for Cardano, with a projected approval likelihood of over 90%, adds further interest. Development successes and community support solidify Cardano as a highly promising altcoin.
As September approaches, XRP, Solana, and Cardano demonstrate promising results, making them focal points of interest for investors. Market dynamics suggest these altcoins could be key players in the upcoming growth.
