XRP News Today: Ethereum Surges 13% Toward $2,000 as Institutions Boost Adoption
2min read In May 2025, the cryptocurrency market is anticipated to experience a significant rally, with several altcoins poised for substantial gains. Analyst Altcoin Daily has identified 14 altcoins that could ignite during this period, including Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Ondo, and Solana. This prediction comes as Bitcoin's price approaches $104,000, indicating a broader bullish sentiment in the crypto market.
Ethereum is once again showing strength. In the last 24 hours, ETH has jumped and institutions have aligned with more ETH adoption. coinbase added 21,000 ETH to its treasury last quarter, now holding over 140,000 ETH, worth around $315 million. Institutions launching Layer-2 networks like Kraken, Worldcoin, and Uniswap are also adopting ETH as a treasury asset, pushing Ethereum further into the “store-of-value” category.
XRP gains fresh traction, this time within the pharmaceutical sector. Florida based’ wellgistics Health will integrate XRP for real-time vendor payments in a $50 million deal. XRP’s speed (3-5 second settlement) and improved clarity from U.S. regulators help drive XRP’s business adoption.
Cardano is carving its own path by integrating with Bitcoin and building unique infrastructure. Its partner project, World Mobile Token, is expanding connectivity across ecosystems, and may soon become a “partner chain” on Cardano’s Midnight framework. Founder Charles Hoskinson has voiced strong support.

Ondo Finance is working with big names like blackrock to bring real-world assets like bonds onto the blockchain. They’ve also met with the SEC’s crypto team. BORG Token powers the SwissBorg platform, which includes exchanges and crypto tools. Most of its supply is staked or locked, and it’s expanding to Hyperliquid, called the “Binance of DEXs.” coti started on Cardano and now runs on Ethereum. It focuses on privacy and real-world assets and is working with the European Central Bank and governments in Africa and the Middle East. Foxy is a meme coin connected to the Linea network (an Ethereum Layer 2). It’s still early, but people are talking about it thanks to its cute branding and growing community. Chainlink (LINK) remains an important project, connecting real-world data to blockchains as crypto and traditional finance merge.
Blockchains like Solana, Sui, and Supra are rising fast. Injective offers tokenized U.S. stocks, Paid Network is simplifying crypto crowdfunding, and RSC (ResearchHub), backed by Coinbase’s CEO, is using blockchain for scientific research.
According to the analyst's forecast, Ethereum could reclaim its macro range after soaring over 13% toward the $2,000 resistance. This prediction is based on the recent surge in Ethereum's price, which has been driven by increased demand for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). If Ethereum is able to break through the $2,000 resistance level, it could set the stage for further gains in the coming months.
The rally in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has also been driven by strong institutional inflows, ETF demand, and whale accumulation. These factors provide solid support for a sustained move higher in the crypto market. However, volatility may arise from tariff concerns or profit-taking at key resistance levels. A clear break above these psychological barriers could hinge on consistent economic signals favoring policy easing.
