XRP News Today: BlockDAG WIF PEPE XRP Drive 2025 Crypto Gains

As the crypto market continues its evolution into 2025, four key assets—BlockDAG, Dogwifhat (WIF), Pepe (PEPE), and XRP—are emerging as leading candidates for top gainers, driven by technological innovation, strong community traction, and strategic developments. These projects represent a mix of emerging Layer-1 platforms, meme-driven assets, and well-established utility tokens, each carving out a unique position in the competitive landscape [1].

BlockDAG, a fast-developing Layer-1 blockchain, has drawn significant attention with its $373 million presale, now in Batch 29 at $0.0276 per token. The project’s hybrid DAG plus Proof-of-Work design supports high throughput while maintaining decentralization, and full EVM compatibility enables seamless integration for Ethereum developers. Adoption metrics are also strong, with 2.5 million X1 app miners, over 200,000 token holders, and 19,000 ASIC miners sold ahead of mainnet launch. Analysts have speculated that the token could reach $1 in its first major bull cycle [1].

Dogwifhat (WIF), a meme asset on the Solana network, has seen a 30% price jump after a major 500,000-unit purchase pushed it out of an ascending channel. It reached a local peak before retracing slightly and is currently trading at around $0.96 with $300 million in daily volume. The asset has shown a 10.6% weekly increase and is supported at $0.95, with potential to climb to $1.15 if buying pressure continues. The combination of strong technical indicators and robust community sentiment positions WIF as a notable performer in the meme category [1].

Pepe (PEPE), one of the most prominent Ethereum-based meme coins, continues to maintain relevance with high trading volumes of $894 million daily. In the past week, it has risen 18%, outperforming broader market indices and other meme coins. Despite a recent phishing incident highlighting market risks, PEPE’s cultural presence and liquidity continue to attract attention. Analysts suggest that as long as the broader market remains positive, Pepe’s strong engagement metrics could support continued price momentum [1].

XRP, the native token of Ripple, has regained momentum following the resolution of the SEC legal case. Post-ruling, XRP’s trading volume surged 208%, and while the price dipped slightly from $3.19 to $3.14 due to profit-taking, Ripple’s $200 million acquisition of the Rail stablecoin platform indicates a strategic push toward building payment infrastructure. This move aligns with anticipated regulatory developments for stablecoins and could help XRP remain a key player in the global payments space [1].

Collectively, these four assets represent different facets of the 2025 crypto landscape. BlockDAG offers a compelling case for early-stage, tech-driven growth; Dogwifhat and Pepe showcase how community-driven narratives can sustain momentum; and XRP highlights how legal clarity and infrastructure development can secure long-term relevance. For investors, understanding the strengths and positioning of these assets can offer critical insights as the market prepares for the next wave of growth [1].
