XRP News Today: Cold Wallet Presale Hits $6.4M as TON Surges and XRP Faces 5% Drop

This month’s cryptocurrency market is witnessing a mix of narratives that capture attention in distinct ways. TON, driven by Telegram’s blockchain, has surged in DeFi and NFT trading activity, with NFT sales reaching a significant milestone as Snoop Dogg’s collection sold nearly a million pieces in under an hour. Additionally, Telegram’s rollout of a built-in TON wallet for U.S. users has expanded access to over 87 million people, making crypto transactions more accessible and familiar. This integration is a pivotal step in mainstreaming blockchain adoption through a platform already embedded in daily communication [1].

Meanwhile, XRP has drawn attention due to renewed optimism around potential ETF approval and clearer regulatory outlooks. Whale activity has seen more than 320 million XRP tokens accumulated in a short period, suggesting increased institutional interest. Some analysts predict a breakout could push XRP toward $13, although recent price action has seen a 5% drop, and key resistance levels around $3.35 and $3.40 remain critical for near-term performance [1].

Amid these developments, Cold Wallet ($CWT) has emerged with a different strategy. Instead of relying on speculative hype, Cold Wallet focuses on rewarding users for everyday crypto actions—such as paying gas fees, swapping tokens, or bridging assets—with cashback in $CWT. This model transforms routine interactions into recurring value, offering a practical alternative to speculative trading. The Cold Wallet presale has already reached Stage 17 at $0.00998, raising over $6.4 million and selling 750 million tokens. Its structured presale model reflects a long-term usability strategy rather than short-term volatility [1].

Cold Wallet further differentiates itself through user-friendly onboarding and upcoming Layer 2 integrations, which are expected to reduce transaction costs significantly. These features aim to make crypto more accessible and efficient, aligning with a vision of daily blockchain utility rather than speculative investment [1].

The broader market context highlights the contrast between speculative narratives and utility-driven projects. While TON and XRP benefit from institutional interest and mainstream adoption, Cold Wallet’s model emphasizes consistent, user-focused rewards that build value through engagement. For investors seeking the best new crypto options, these contrasting approaches offer different perspectives on where to allocate capital in a rapidly evolving market [1].
