XRP just pulled off something unheard of – beating Bitcoin in daily trading volume.
The popular payments token flipped BTC on Binance, which is yet another win after a string of positive developments recently.
Now, everyone’s wondering which smaller-cap altcoins could be next to rally as the market heats up.
XRP Flips Bitcoin in Volume as Price Hits Seven-Year High
XRP is one of the hottest cryptos in the world right now.
After years of being stuck in legal limbo, the token is staging a massive comeback, shooting up to $2.90 yesterday.
That’s XRP’s highest price in almost seven years.
The token is up 400% in the past month alone, making it one of the market’s top gainers in that time frame.
All of the excitement has been taken up a notch after XRP did something that seemed impossible – its trading volume on Binance topped Bitcoin’s.
The numbers are clear: Over the last 24 hours, $3.9 billion worth of XRP traded hands versus $3.5 billion in Bitcoin.
This shift highlights just how much momentum XRP has gained in recent weeks.
Wall Street Pepe Brings Advanced Trading Tools to the Meme Coin Community & Raises $450K
Many traders believe that XRP’s surge could start a bigger trend in crypto, where smaller altcoins experience their own bull runs.
One coin that’s catching attention in this regard is Wall Street Pepe (WEPE) – which brings some Wall Street swagger to crypto.
Think less dog memes and more “Wolf of Wall Street” energy.
Wall Street Pepe’s team isn’t using the traditional meme coin model.
Instead, they’re building something more ambitious – a platform where smaller traders can access resources usually reserved for the big players.
Wall Street Pepe’s presale has already pulled in $450,000 in just one day.
Those who take part in the presale can snag WEPE tokens at just $0.000202, which is expected to be their lowest price ever.
The team at Cryptonews has already stated that Wall Street Pepe is the “next degen play.”
So, for those seeking a low-cap alternative to XRP, the new WEPE token might be worth checking out.
Crypto All-Stars Offers Huge Staking Rewards Ahead of Highly-Anticipated Exchange Launch
Another altcoin to consider buying next is Crypto All-Stars (STARS).
Like Wall Street Pepe, Crypto All-Stars is taking a different approach than most meme coins and is offering an all-in-one staking hub called MemeVault.
Interestingly, the MemeVault will support a range of top meme coins.
This includes PEPE, SHIB, and WIF – meaning holders can finally give them some utility instead of just hoping for a price increase.
Crypto All-Stars has now raised $8.3 million in its presale phase, with STARS tokens on offer for just $0.0016782 each.
However, this presale is set to end in 16 days.
After that, STARS will be listed on an exchange for the first time, where its price will be determined by supply and demand factors.
Given all the early hype around it, many top traders (like ClayBro) believe the token’s price will explode after listing.
That’s why Crypto All-Stars is an altcoin worth watching in the near term.
Best Wallet’s Native BEST Token Goes Viral as Presale Phase Passes $2M
Best Wallet (BEST) is another altcoin gaining steam recently.
This crypto wallet project has raised over $2.1 million in its presale phase, with the native BEST token selling at $0.022925.
It’s the wallet’s underlying utility that has investors paying attention.
Unlike most wallets, which offer the same features, Best Wallet takes a different approach, offering a fully-fledged Web3 ecosystem.
This ecosystem supports multiple chains, has a custom-built DEX, and comes with several other DeFi integrations.
There’s even a staking app for the native BEST token.
With high-profile crypto experts like Austin Hilton praising its setup, Best Wallet could capitalize on the market momentum that XRP has kickstarted.
And given that the BEST token is on offer for such a low price, early investors could be in line for big returns if all goes to plan.
Trending Meme Coin Catslap Passes $36M Market Cap & Attracts Institutional Buyers
Last but not least is Catslap (SLAP), a meme coin that’s been going viral since it launched two weeks ago.
It’s not your average cat coin – it has much more to it than just a funny mascot.
Catslap’s “Slap-to-Earn” system has helped it reach a $36 million market cap in record time, with $6.7 million locked up for liquidity.
The SLAP token itself has been on an incredible run, hitting an all-time high of $0.01014 earlier today.
Institutional players like Jump Trading have even been buying in.
The community is hyped, as the team is set to announce SLAP’s first CEX listing in less than 24 hours.
And given that Catslap hasn’t even hit the mainstream yet, there might be massive room to run for this new cat-themed token.
