XRP News Today: Bitcoin Dominance Drops 1.11% as Altcoins Surge 6-13%

Bitcoin's dominance in the cryptocurrency market has seen a notable decline, dropping from over 65% to 63.89%. This shift suggests a potential capital rotation into altcoins, as evidenced by the surge in Ethereum, which rose nearly 13%, and other major altcoins like SOL, DOGE, and ADA, which rallied over 6%. The rebound in the ETH/BTC ratio from its lowest level since 2020 further indicates a possible structural change in investor sentiment, favoring altcoins.

In light of this trend, analysts have identified 14 altcoins that are poised for significant growth in 2025. Leading the pack is Ethereum (ETH), which is gaining traction due to increasing institutional interest. Coinbase's recent addition of 21,000 ETH to its treasury, bringing its total holdings to over 140,000 ETH, underscores this growing interest. Layer 2 solutions like Kraken, OKX, and Uniswap are scaling the Ethereum ecosystem, positioning ETH as a strong contender in the store-of-value adoption curve.

Ondo Finance (ONDO), backed by BlackRock, is pioneering the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) for institutional markets. With the U.S. pushing for tokenization, ONDO is well-positioned to benefit from institutional-grade on-chain finance. XRP (XRP) is also gaining momentum with regulatory clarity in the U.S., being adopted for enterprise payments. A Florida pharmaceutical firm recently integrated XRP for a $50 million treasury and vendor payment use case, demonstrating its real-world financial utility.

Cardano (ADA) continues to stand out for its efficiency and eco-friendliness. It is expanding Bitcoin bridges and supporting World Mobile Token (WMT), making it a strong player in the evolving blockchain ecosystem. WMT, deeply tied to Cardano, is expanding across Ethereum and Cosmos, aiming to bring decentralized connectivity worldwide and become a major Cardano partner chain. Borg Token (BORG) powers the Swissborg ecosystem, with one-third of its supply staked and recent integration into Hyperliquid, gaining traction fast.

COTI, originally Cardano-native but now an Ethereum L2, focuses on compliant privacy and RWAs. It is powering the digital euro and collaborating across Africa and the Middle East in a $30 trillion market space. Foxy (FOXY), more than just a meme coin, is the mascot of Linea, a rising Ethereum Layer 2. If Linea continues to grow, FOXY could gain infrastructure-level support rare among meme coins. Solana (SOL) remains central to the L1 narrative, praised for its speed and scalability, with analysts calling it “the next Ethereum” despite past challenges.

Sui (SUI), dubbed “the next Solana,” is gaining attention for its high-performance architecture. Analysts say it’s in a strong race alongside Solana this cycle. Supra (SUPRA), seen as a “next-gen blockchain,” might be “the next Sui.” It’s part of the rising L1 narrative, focused on speed and interoperability. Injective (INJ) is tailored for decentralized finance, enabling tokenized stocks and RWAs like MAG7. Analysts say it’s paving the way for a decentralized Wall Street. Paid Network (PAID), an OG crypto project, is building legal and crowdfunding tools for startups. Now in its third cycle, it’s seen as a strong small-cap survivor.

ResearchCoin (RSC) powers the DeSci (Decentralized Science) movement, rewarding researchers for publishing open data. It’s poised to become a leading token in decentralized scientific discovery. As Bitcoin dominance drops and Ethereum gains steam, the spotlight is shifting toward altcoins. With real-world use cases, institutional adoption, and emerging narratives, these 14 tokens could be the breakout stars of the next crypto bull run.
