XRP News Today: Cold Wallet's $270M Acquisition Drives 3600% Token Upside and 2M User Surge

Cold Wallet’s $270 million acquisition of Plus Wallet and its $6.32 million presale have positioned the project as a significant player in the 2025 crypto landscape, overshadowing short-term momentum in XRP and SHIB [1]. The integration of Plus Wallet brought over two million active users into Cold Wallet’s ecosystem, instantly establishing a robust user base at a presale stage, a rare feat in the industry. The acquisition also marked a strategic move to scale adoption, offering daily on-chain activity rewards to users through the $CWT token, incentivizing engagement and transaction volume [1].

The $CWT token is priced at $0.00998 in Stage 17 of its presale, with over 749.33 million tokens sold, raising $6.32 million. Early buyers in Stage 1, who paid $0.007 per token, could see a potential return of up to 4,900%, while Stage 17 participants are looking at a projected 37× ROI, or approximately 3,600% upside if the confirmed listing price of $0.3517 is reached [1]. The project has also structured its tokenomics to promote sustainability, allocating 25% of the token supply to rewards and locking team tokens for 2–4 years.

Cold Wallet further accelerates growth through a referral program, offering a 10% bonus to referrers and 5% to referees, both under structured vesting schedules. This incentive model supports organic user expansion and aligns with long-term adoption goals [1]. Additionally, the app is already live on Android and iOS platforms, having undergone an audit by Hacken and is under review by CertiK, reinforcing its credibility and security for users.

While Ripple (XRP) is benefiting from rising interest in stablecoin adoption and cross-border payment use cases, and Shiba Inu (SHIB) is generating volatility through aggressive burn events, Cold Wallet is focusing on sustainable user growth and real-world utility [1]. XRP is showing technical indicators of a potential breakout, supported by increased volume and strengthening bullish momentum. However, its long-term success depends on continued adoption and patience from investors [1]. SHIB, on the other hand, is capitalizing on meme-driven sentiment and rapid returns, with its recent burn rate surging by more than 83,000%, but its long-term value remains tied to community engagement and ecosystem development [1].

Cold Wallet’s approach combines immediate user adoption with a robust tokenomic framework and reward-driven mechanics, differentiating itself from traditional speculative plays. Unlike XRP and SHIB, which rely on market cycles and community-driven narratives, Cold Wallet is launching with a live product and a proven user base, making it a compelling case for investors seeking long-term value [1]. Analysts suggest that the project is not just another presale but a serious contender with the potential to outperform other high-profile tokens in the next market cycle [1].
