XRP is approaching legal clarity, which could trigger a breakout if support at the $2 level holds.
The structure of the SUI chart and rising DeFi metrics indicate that a breakout to the $11 mark is possible.
Cardano's corporate approach and the Leios update highlight its long-term sustainability.
While Bitcoin's sharp drop to $98,000 from a daily high of $102,000 triggered a massive sell-off in cryptocurrencies, several altcoins — XRP, XLM, SUI, DOGE, and ADA — are quietly preparing for a potential comeback.
Despite market shocks and short-term volatility, these digital assets are supported by growing institutional interest, strong technical setups, and ecosystem development that could soon lead to larger changes.
Stellar (XLM): Expanding institutional access
Stellar (XLM) has fallen nearly 3% over the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.2310. The move coincided with a 31% spike in trading volume, likely caused by short-term liquidations. However, significant events beneath the surface indicate that the asset may be reaching a bottom.
Recently, the Swedish Spotlight Stock Market listed an ETP denominated in Stellar through Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies. The listing aims to expand investor access and highlights the utility of Stellar in global payments and cross-border remittances.

Despite recent price weakness, XLM's proximity to technical resistance at the 20-day EMA ($0.2545) and the 50-day EMA ($0.2662) may set the stage for a reversal.
XRP: Clarity regarding the lawsuit could trigger a breakout
XRP has dropped 2% and is now trading at $2.02 due to rumors that the SEC lawsuit may drag on until 2026. However, legal expert Bill Morgan dismissed this scenario, calling such a delay an 'unlikely outcome.'
He expects the judge to uphold the court's ruling in a streamlined manner and the existing penalties — such an outcome would avoid further legal uncertainty.
Technically, XRP failed to overcome resistance at $2.27 and faced liquidations of $29.4 million in the derivatives market. However, if support at $2.00 holds and a settlement is reached soon, a breakout remains on the table.
As legal uncertainty is likely close to resolution and investor interest remains strong, XRP may soon see the long-awaited rise.
SUI: Preparing for a significant move
Among altcoins, SUI may be the most structurally interesting. Currently trading at $2.37, SUI is forming a symmetrical triangle on the weekly chart, just like in textbooks. Volume is narrowing, while the price remains stable in the $2.25–$2.35 range.
According to technical analyst 'Eye Zen Hour,' a breakout could raise SUI to $11.47, which is 4.8 times the current levels.
Sui Network has also recently partnered with Wormhole and OKX Wallet to bring billions in cross-chain liquidity to the network. It boasts $400 million in new total value locked (TVL) over the past three weeks and $100 billion in combined DEX volume, approaching Ethereum in stablecoin activity.
With a coherent structure and fundamentals, SUI appears to be a ticking time bomb for a breakout.
DOGE: Community-driven hype and ETF potential
Dogecoin is back in the spotlight, trading at $0.147 after several weeks of quiet. It is once again among the most discussed assets on social media, fueled by debates about its utility, unlimited supply, and potential integration with Elon Musk's X platform.
Although Musk has not confirmed the integration of cryptocurrency into the future peer-to-peer payment system X, Dogecoin fans are closely monitoring this. Moreover, with growing optimism regarding ETFs, Dogecoin is rumored to be among the candidates for approval of spot ETFs.
Bloomberg analyst James Seyfart suggests that approvals are a matter of 'when, not if,' estimating the chances of DOGE at 90% by the end of the year. If the ETF story materializes, the viral DOGE community could quickly amplify profits.

ADA: Enterprise Traction and Leios Update
Cardano (ADA) has recovered to $0.5477 after dropping to $0.5132, with trading volume increasing by a billion dollars as buyers returned to buy the dip. Nearly $1 billion in ADA was also withdrawn from exchanges in 2025, with whales buying 310 million tokens only in June.
The momentum of Cardano is not merely speculative. A pilot project involving Ford Motor Company, Iagon, and Cloud Court is exploring the use of ADA in managing legal data through decentralized storage. This initiative could open Cardano to corporate applications in the legal, medical, and financial sectors.
