XRP News Today: XRP near $3.02, Solana down 5.4%, ADA under $0.80 as August ETF catalysts drive crypto price swings

Market analysts have issued price forecasts for XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) ahead of August 2025, highlighting key technical levels and regulatory catalysts that could influence their trajectories. XRP is currently trading at $3.02, near critical support between $2.90–$3.00. Analysts suggest that a break below $2.90 could trigger a slide to $2.70, while a rebound might push the token toward $3.40 in early August. Coindoo outlined a base-case consolidation range of $3.10–$3.20, contrasting with recent volatility driven by delays in SEC approvals for crypto ETFs and institutional demand [1][2].

Solana (SOL) faces a pivotal juncture at $177.24, having lost 5.4% in the past 24 hours but maintaining a 7-day decline of just 0.09%. With a market cap of $95.4 billion, SOL is positioned as a leading Layer 1 competitor. Analysts anticipate a potential rebound to $185 or $200 if buyers hold above $175, though a drop below $165 could reignite bearish sentiment [1]. Divergent forecasts include a bold $300 target for 2025, emphasizing Solana’s scalability and DeFi growth [3].

Cardano (ADA) remains under pressure, trading at $0.7821 after 7-day losses of 6.09%. While daily trading volume of $1.66 billion suggests lingering activity, analysts caution that a rebound above $0.80 could drive ADA to $0.88 in early August. A failure to sustain this level might push prices toward $0.68, though CoinDCX projects a stabilization near $0.88–$0.92 if market resilience holds [1][4].

Regulatory developments are shaping near-term outlooks. The approval of the REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF (SSK) and rising odds for additional SOL funds have elevated Solana’s institutional profile, with Bloomberg analysts estimating a 90–95% approval probability for year-end 2025 [5]. For XRP, optimism grows as spot ETF proposals multiply following a 2023 court ruling affirming its non-security status, with MSN analysts predicting a potential doubling in August if legal clarity improves [6].

Market dynamics underscore the sector’s volatility. Ripple’s ongoing legal challenges, though easing, remain a cloud over XRP’s adoption, while Cardano’s research-driven model and pending Grayscale trust-to-ETF conversion add to its speculative appeal [4]. Whale activity, particularly in ADA, has also fueled speculation about potential all-time highs [4].

Analysts emphasize that August’s direction will hinge on volume spikes, RSI divergences, and daily candle closures. Coindoo’s cautious base-case projections for XRP and ADA contrast with more aggressive Solana targets, reflecting the interplay of technical setups and macro-level uncertainties [1][3].
