Today, we analyze the price trends of SOL (Solana), XRP (Ripple), and HBAR (Hedera), because they are recording significant gains.
On the other hand, to tell the truth, the Bitcoin season ended two weeks ago, after lasting for months, and even at this moment it seems that the crypto markets are trying to move towards altseason, although for now they have simply risen into neutral territory.
Price Analysis of Solana (SOL), XRP (Ripple), and Hedera (HBAR) Crypto
Solana is doing very well these days.
Although the all-time high of nearly $300, recorded in January, is still quite distant, the July rebound seems quite significant.
It should be remembered that that peak at the beginning of the year was recorded as a consequence of the announcement of the launch on Solana of the official memecoin of Donald Trump, and that the sensational bull of SOL recorded during the previous Trump-trade was due primarily to the memecoin.
When the boom of memecoins faded, everything returned to normal. However, sooner or later it is absolutely possible that another one will arrive.
At the end of October 2024, before the Trump-trade, the price of Solana was about $150, then it doubled in less than three months precisely thanks to the Trump-trade and the boom of memecoins.
Once these two forces dissipated, during 2025 it ended up returning to $150.
The problem is that between March and April it even collapsed to just over $100, probably precisely because behind the decline there was actually a sum of factors.
The first rebound, however, already occurred in the second half of April, when the price of Solana returned to $150, and until the beginning of July, it essentially remained there or slightly above.
The second rebound, which is probably still ongoing, started on July 9, but accelerated on the 16th, that is, a week ago.
In particular, starting from Monday, it recorded a jump that brought it back above $200, although once this figure was reached, the jump yesterday seemed to have stopped.
If we exclude the mini-bubble at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, the $200 mark is a level that had been reached previously only during the great bullrun of 2021, and only touched in March 2024. Therefore, it is a very important figure, even though it is 32% lower than the all-time highs at the beginning of the year.
At this point, it is even imaginable that, in theory, Solana could manage to continue its run, although obviously there are no certainties about it.
The trend of the Ripple price
XRP is the cryptocurrency created by Ripple. Ripple is a company, but it is not publicly traded, therefore since many still refer to XRP by the company’s name, we are talking about the price of the XRP cryptocurrency, and not that of the company.
There is a little mystery regarding the price of XRP.
In fact, various crypto aggregators provide different all-time high prices. Since different crypto exchanges have different prices, the averages of the aggregators are generally used as a reference, rather than the prices recorded on individual exchanges.
For some aggregators, the maximum price of XRP remains the $3.8 reached in January 2018, while for others it would be the $3.65 recorded five days ago.
The fact is that those $3.8 from 2018 were not recorded on all exchanges, and they were reached only for a very brief moment. However, it is common opinion to consider that record as the all-time high of XRP.
Having said that, the recent performance of XRP is still very interesting, also because it is not the result of a rapid speculative bubble like the one in January 2018.
With the Trump-trade of November 2024, the price had risen from $0.5 to $2.7, then further increased to $3.3 on the same days when Solana was reaching its all-time highs.
If that had been a large speculative bubble, the price of XRP in the following months would have collapsed, and instead it always held at least above the 2$ mark, with only one small and brief exception.
On July 9th, a new rise began, starting from $0.23 and possibly still ongoing, which has taken it well above the highs of the beginning of the year. Moreover, after the peak five days ago, there hasn’t even been a real correction yet, because it has remained well above the highs of the beginning of the year, beyond the $3.4 mark.
The trend of the price of Hedera
Paradoxically, what surprised even more was Hedera.
Even though it is still at -53% from the 2021 highs, the recent growth has been truly significant.
During the bear-market of 2022, the price of HBAR had plummeted from $0.57 to less than $0.06, then fell further in 2023 to below $0.04.
Even at the end of October 2024, it was only slightly above this last figure, so much so that it seemed like a situation from which it was really difficult to recover.
However, thanks to the Trump-trade, the price rose back above $0.36, although it then corrected to $0.14 during the first months of 2025.
At the end of June, it was still below this last threshold, but starting particularly from July 8, it began a new rise that brought it back to almost $0.3, and it might still be ongoing.
To tell the truth, the local peak was recorded on July 18, and in the following days, it seems to have stabilized around $0.27, but it is still a much better situation compared to even just the end of June, and enormously better compared to that of October 2024.
In theory, there could still be further growth potential, but the one occurring on Hedera seems to be a mini-bubble that could eventually burst.
