XRP News Today: RTX Challenges ADA XRP with Cross-Chain Infrastructure 50% Bonus $17.5M Raise

Cryptocurrency markets in 2025 are witnessing a recalibration as emerging projects like Remittix (RTX) challenge the dominance of established players such as Cardano (ADA) and Ripple (XRP). Analysts highlight RTX’s cross-chain payment infrastructure, real-world utility, and institutional backing as pivotal factors. The project has raised $17.5 million through the sale of 570 million tokens at a current price of $0.0876 [1]. Its upcoming Web3 wallet, set for a Q3 2025 beta launch, aims to facilitate low-cost cross-border crypto-to-fiat transfers for freelancers across 30+ countries. RTX’s multi-chain architecture—supporting Ethereum, Solana, and Binance Smart Chain—positions it as a contender in an interoperability-driven market [1]. A 50% token bonus remains active as the project nears its $18M soft cap, bolstered by CertiK-audited security and business-grade API solutions [1]. Experts suggest RTX could surpass Cardano in market relevance if its current trajectory continues [1].

Cardano (ADA) remains a focal point for long-term investors, despite criticism over its slower development pace. Its roadmap includes DeFi scalability upgrades, with price targets estimated between $3 and $5 [1]. However, analysts note that ADA’s technical advancements have yet to translate into widespread adoption. RTX’s integration into decentralized finance and global remittances offers a more immediate value proposition, particularly for investors prioritizing tangible use cases [1].

Ripple (XRP) navigates a dual narrative marked by regulatory uncertainties in the U.S. and renewed optimism from institutional partnerships. Large-scale XRP movements, such as Jed McCaleb’s 2020 $148 million transfer, initially sparked bearish sentiment, but critics like Dark Defender argue the coin’s post-2020 stability reflects structural resilience [2]. Chris Larsen’s $175 million XRP sale has further fueled debates about diminishing whale influence in a maturing market [2]. While proponents highlight institutional investment and regulatory clarity as critical drivers, the XRP community remains divided over its long-term prospects [2].

The broader market trend underscores a shift toward projects with verifiable utility and cross-border applicability. RTX’s focus on low-cost remittances and interoperability aligns with this shift, while Ripple’s partnership-driven model and Cardano’s technical upgrades reflect divergent strategies. As 2025 progresses, the ability to scale real-world applications and navigate regulatory landscapes will likely determine which projects gain sustained traction [1].
