Solana News Today: Cold Wallet Projects 3600% Return as Crypto Market Grows in 2025

The cryptocurrency market in August 2025 continues to highlight projects showing early promise for the next bull cycle. Among them, Cold Wallet, Solana (SOL), XRP, and Chainlink (LINK) are attracting attention due to their unique value propositions and performance indicators. While established players demonstrate resilience and expanding ecosystems, a presale project like Cold Wallet is creating a new narrative with a blend of real-world utility and high projected returns.

Cold Wallet is currently in Stage 17 of its 150-stage presale, priced at $0.00998 with a fixed launch price of $0.3517. This sets the stage for a potential 3,600% return. Early investors who participated in the first stage at $0.007 are already positioned for a nearly 50× return. Unlike traditional wallets, Cold Wallet functions as a reward engine, offering cashback in CWT for transactions such as fund transfers and gas payments. The project has already raised $5.9 million, selling 703 million CWT tokens, and is supported by ongoing audits from Hacken and CertiK [1]. Recent momentum has been driven by its $270 million acquisition of Plus Wallet, which added two million active users, and a referral system that incentivizes both short- and long-term participation [1].

Solana remains a top performer, trading near $196.60 with a 12% increase in the last 24 hours. The network has tested resistance levels near $199, with strong support between $171 and $174. Weekly trading volumes have hit $23 billion, reflecting an 8% increase in ecosystem growth. Institutional activity is also rising, with Whale wallets moving significant SOL holdings and DeFi Development Corp holding over $250 million in SOL, generating $63,000 in daily staking returns [1]. If Solana breaks through the $200 resistance level, analysts suggest it could see further upward movement, reinforcing its status as a scalable and high-throughput Layer 1 chain [1].

XRP is trading at $3.23, oscillating between $3.11 and $3.29. The token recently reached a milestone with the resolution of its legal dispute with the SEC, avoiding appeals and paying a $125 million fine. This legal clarity has spurred institutional trading volumes to rise by 208% to $12.4 billion. Prices briefly touched $3.27 before consolidating [1]. Some analysts have noted a long-term double-bottom technical pattern, projecting potential price movement toward $34 in the future [1]. Despite a slight decline in active accounts, XRP’s improved legal standing and growing transaction volumes make it a strong contender for the next crypto to take off [1].

Chainlink (LINK) is trading at $23.31, with a 10% gain in the past 24 hours and a 40% increase over the week. A key development was its partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which now allows over 2,000 applications to access FX and precious metals data on-chain. Additionally, the launch of Chainlink Reserve has helped reduce circulating supply, supporting long-term growth. The total value secured (TVS) has reached a record $93 billion, underpinning its role as a foundational infrastructure for decentralized finance (DeFi). Continued partnerships with firms like Fidelity, Swift, and JPMorgan, as well as whale accumulation, indicate ongoing confidence in the token's long-term trajectory [1].

Each of these projects represents a distinct path to value creation. Solana is leveraging speed and ecosystem growth, XRP benefits from legal resolution and rising volumes, and Chainlink solidifies its position as a critical DeFi infrastructure component. However, Cold Wallet stands out due to its live product, immediate utility, and a locked presale price significantly lower than its projected launch price. With a unique cashback model and a recent user base expansion through the acquisition of Plus Wallet, Cold Wallet is positioned as one of the clearest examples of a presale token with strong growth potential in 2025 [1].
