For many altcoins, 2025 has started with dismay. But while the overall crypto market cap is down 1.5% today, some tokens have pumped regardless.
This article looks at three of the best tokens to buy now, which are exploding while everything else falls flat. These are XRP, Stellar, and Best Wallet token.
XRP Surges 6.7% following X Money announcement and token unlock memo
Interestingly, XRP is leading the gainers today. It’s the only project in the top five by market cap in the green, and it’s the best performer inside the top 15.
The reason behind the XRP pump is not immediately clear. However, it’s worth noting that the XRP and Stellar rally comes after X (formerly Twitter) CEO Linda Yaccarino teased “X Money.”
X Money is expected to overhaul payments on the social media site and potentially integrate a native platform currency.
The company behind X Money, X Payments LLC, has already obtained money transmission licenses in 14 of the U.S. states. Could it be that XRP has something to do with this?
Adding to the excitement, Ripple Labs unlocked 500 million XRP from escrow today in line with its monthly schedule.
However, the unlock transaction was accompanied by a memo underlining that President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration is around the corner and that “we are going to make crypto great again.”
XRP trades at $2.23, up 6.7% in the past 24 hours and down 1.9% this week. It has a $128 billion market cap and a $5.4 billion 24-hour trading volume.
Its relative strength against the broader market today could well be a positive sign of things to come.
Top XRP Beta Play Stellar Gains 18.4%
XRP’s bullish performance is often overshadowed by that of its smaller cousin, Stellar. This time is no different.
The Stellar price has gained 18.4% over the past 24 hours. It has also outperformed XRP this week, rising 3.8%. Stellar currently has a $11.9 billion market cap and a $1.09 billion 24-hour trading volume.
XLM has generated further excitement due to a technical event on its price chart. Traders have noticed a “bullish cross,” which occurs when the RSI rises above its moving average indicator.
This is typically a sign of positive momentum, which paves the way for further growth.
As payment cryptocurrencies XRP and Stellar rally, another innovative project is also gaining pace.
Viral Presale Best Wallet Raises $6.1 Million, Tipped For 10X ROI
Best Wallet is a cross-chain Web3 wallet with various decentralized tools and applications. Its native Best Wallet token is currently available to buy via a presale event, which has raised $6.1 million so far.
The Best Wallet token unlocks exclusive ecosystem benefits such as trading fee discounts, higher staking yields, governance rights, and access to promotions on partner projects.
Best Wallet will be equipped with a wide range of market-leading features. Notably, it will offer a crypto debit card, which can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
Beyond that, it has decentralized spot and derivatives exchanges alongside features like a presale aggregator, advanced fraud protection, and a staking aggregator.
The presale aggregator grants investors on-platform access to vetted presales with high potential. Users can research, buy, and track presale tokens without leaving the app. It recently provided a 10x gain on Pepe Unchained and a 5x gain on Crypto All-Stars.
This has caught the attention of prominent crypto traders, with Crypto Gains predicting $BEST could 10x in price.
He compared investing in Best Wallet token to buying MetaMask if that had a token.
The current $BEST presale price is $0.023425, but this will rise later today.
