Stellar Surges 85% in July as Cold Wallet Presale Attracts 4,900% ROI Hopes

Stellar (XLM) and Near Protocol (NEAR) have both posted notable gains in July, with XLM surging approximately 85% and NEAR showing strong recovery backed by rising volume and institutional interest [1]. XLM’s rally has brought it to around $0.44, consolidating gains after a sharp rise from $0.424 to $0.442 in recent days [2]. Technical indicators show XLM trading above both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 62, suggesting strong but manageable upward momentum. Analysts are closely watching resistance levels at $0.46 to $0.52, with some predictions pointing toward a potential target of $0.71 or even $1 if the bullish trend continues [3].

Meanwhile, NEAR has seen a more volatile but positive week, rising from $2.61 to $2.79 in one day before pulling back to $2.67. The altcoin’s mid-July rally was supported by a partnership with Everclear and broader ecosystem developments [4]. However, the recent pullback reflects a broader altcoin cooldown. NEAR remains above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages but has not yet reclaimed its 200-day average at around $2.95. With RSI near 53 and mixed momentum signals, a decisive break above $2.90—supported by strong volume—will be critical in determining whether this rally is a bounce or a more sustained trend [5].

Amid these developments, Cold Wallet—a new player in the crypto space—is generating attention for its presale stages. Priced at $0.00924 in stage 15 of its presale, the token offers a novel approach by rewarding users for common crypto activities like gas fees, swaps, and transfers [6]. Unlike traditional models that rely on staking or locking tokens, Cold Wallet’s CWT token provides cashback rewards simply by holding it in the wallet. Users can earn up to 100% gas fee rebates at the highest tier, turning regular usage into a source of income [7].

The Cold Wallet presale is structured across 150 stages, with the price set to rise incrementally to $0.3517 at the time of listing. Analysts suggest that the token could potentially reach $2 post-launch, offering early holders an estimated 4,900% return on investment [8]. The appeal of Cold Wallet lies not only in its price trajectory but also in its practical value proposition: an ecosystem designed to reward active crypto users. This approach sets it apart from speculative plays and aligns with a growing trend of utility-driven projects [9].

While XLM and NEAR continue to demonstrate resilience and traction, Cold Wallet represents a new angle in the 2025 crypto landscape. Rather than relying solely on market sentiment or technical momentum, it seeks to integrate crypto into daily financial behavior, offering returns for actions users are already performing [10]. As the presale progresses, the token is gaining recognition as a top candidate for long-term investment, particularly for those looking to leverage existing crypto activity for passive income [11].
