The prices of XRP, Shiba Inu, and Pepe may experience significant increases during the remaining summer.
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 historical high of $111,814 and break free from the stagnation faced during recent geopolitical turmoil.
In addition, 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 this cross-border payment giant set new cryptocurrency price records in 2025?
Ripple's XRP continues to gain a reputation as a key bridge between traditional banking systems and blockchain-based payments.
Its fast trading speed and lowest fees have attracted the attention of institutions, including recognition from the United Nations, which regards it as a compliant solution for facilitating global payments without intermediaries.
Additionally, XRP has been embroiled in a protracted legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A key ruling in 2023 determined that XRP's retail sales do not constitute securities trading. In 2025, the SEC officially withdrew its lawsuit, ending a four-year legal battle.
This resolution has solidified XRP's market position and set an important regulatory precedent that benefits the broader cryptocurrency industry. Since then, investor sentiment has significantly improved, with XRP outperforming Bitcoin over the past year, rising by 400% compared to BTC's increase of only 89.5%.
From a technical perspective, analysts identified bullish flag patterns in the first quarter, suggesting a possible rebound to $3.50 this summer, surpassing the $3.40 peak from January 2018.
Shiba Inu ($SHIB): Can the meme crypto heavyweight of Ethereum triple in price?
Since its debut in August 2020, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) has risen to become the second-largest meme token after Dogecoin, with a market capitalization exceeding $6.8 billion.
In the past 24 hours, SHIB has fallen by 3% and is currently trading at around $0.00001156. Although the drop is not insignificant, SHIB's resilience is above average considering the overall cryptocurrency market cap has declined by 3.7%.
However, Shiba Inu's stock price is currently in a strong position, poised to chart a path to the moon. Its recent chart patterns exhibit two notable bullish formations: a descending wedge spanning from November to March and a bullish flag since mid-May, both suggesting potential upward momentum.
If SHIB breaks through its major resistance level of $0.000022 and maintains positive market sentiment, analysts expect SHIB to climb above $0.00003 by the end of summer. Some analysts predict that if the current trend continues, SHIB could rise to a range of $0.00006 to $0.00009 by the end of the year.
Unlike most meme tokens, SHIB offers real-world utility through its integration with the Ethereum-based Shibarium Layer-2 network, aiming to reduce transaction costs, increase processing speed, and improve scalability and privacy.
Pepe ($PEPE): The meme frog coin aims for new highs.
Pepe ($PEPE) has solidified its position as the dominant meme token with its viral cultural appeal and positive market trajectory.
Inspired by Matt Furie's iconic frog cartoon, $PEPE has brought extraordinary returns to its earliest adopters and currently ranks among the top three meme coins, with a market capitalization of $4 billion.
Since its launch in April 2023, the token has sparked a surge of imitators, though none can match its viral momentum or market resilience. Even Elon Musk briefly used a Pepe-themed avatar on X (formerly Twitter), further boosting its popularity.
Currently, $PEPE is trading near $0.000009683, having risen 6% over the past seven days, outperforming the gains of cryptocurrency giants like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Bitcoin, and Ethereum during the same period.
Currently, $PEPE is about 65.4% lower than its historical high of $0.00002803 set at the end of 2024. Nonetheless, analysts are still monitoring the descending wedge pattern that appeared in the first quarter, which is a typical indicator of a potential major upward reversal.
Meanwhile, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to 45, and if further selling leads it to drop below 30 into the oversold zone over the weekend, traders may seize the opportunity to create upward pressure on its price.
If the global geopolitical and economic situation remains stable, Pepe may experience another rebound before the end of summer.
