Cryptocurrency prices may face significant volatility again, with Bitcoin ($BTC) climbing to $110,386 in the past 24 hours, attempting to challenge its recently set all-time high of $111,814 and breaking out of the stagnation it faced during recent geopolitical turmoil.
Additionally, many leading altcoins and some of the best meme coins (including TRON, Sui Network, Solana, Pepe, Trump, SPX6900, and FartCoin) have reached unprecedented price levels in recent months, indicating that a breakout for altcoins may be imminent.
As the market prepares for what many expect to be the next bull market, investors are turning their attention to select altcoins that have the potential to set new price milestones.
Ripple (XRP): Will it break new cryptocurrency price records in 2025?
Ripple's XRP continues to solidify its position as a bridge between traditional banks and blockchain payments, attracting institutional attention with fast transactions and low fees. The United Nations also recognizes its potential as a compliant, intermediary-free global payment solution.
In 2023, a court ruled that XRP retail sales do not constitute securities transactions; in 2025, the SEC officially dropped the lawsuit, ending a four-year legal dispute. This move not only solidified XRP's market position but also established an important regulatory precedent for the crypto industry. Investor sentiment is high, with XRP surging 400% over the past year, far exceeding Bitcoin's 89.5% increase.
Technical analysis shows that the bullish flag pattern in the first quarter suggests XRP might break through $3.50 this summer, surpassing the historical high of $3.40 from January 2018.
Shiba Inu ($SHIB): Can the Ethereum meme coin achieve a threefold increase?
Since its debut in August 2020, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) has become the second-largest meme coin after Dogecoin, with a market cap exceeding $6.8 billion. Despite a 3% drop in the past 24 hours, trading at around $0.00001156, its decline is less than the overall crypto market average of 3.7%, showing strong resilience.
Recent charts show bullish signals: the descending wedge from November to March and the bullish flag since mid-May both indicate upward momentum. If it breaks through the key resistance level of $0.000022 and maintains market enthusiasm, analysts expect SHIB to rise above $0.00003 by the end of summer, potentially reaching the range of $0.00006 to $0.00009 by the end of the year.
Unlike most meme coins, SHIB offers low fees, high-speed transactions, and enhanced scalability and privacy by integrating with Ethereum's Shibarium Layer-2 network, demonstrating practical value.
Pepe ($PEPE): Will the meme frog coin hit new highs?
Pepe ($PEPE), with its viral cultural charm and strong market performance, remains among the top three meme coins, with a market capitalization of $4 billion. Since its launch in April 2023, $PEPE has delivered astonishing returns for early investors, with unmatched virality and market resilience. Musk briefly used a Pepe avatar on the X platform, further boosting its popularity.
The current trading price is approximately $0.000009683, up 6% over the past week, outperforming Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Although it is about 65.4% lower than the peak of $0.00002803 at the end of 2024, the descending wedge pattern observed in the first quarter suggests a potential significant rebound.
Its relative strength index (RSI) is currently at 45, and if it falls below 30 into the oversold area over the weekend, it may trigger bottom-fishing by traders, pushing prices upward. If the global geopolitical and economic environment remains stable, $PEPE may experience a new round of increases before the end of summer.
