In a bold forecast for the crypto market, a prominent trader suggests two significant changes in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization in 2025. According to the recent prediction, Ripple’s XRP and Toncoin (TON) are expected to be replaced with Solana (SOL) and Rexas Finance (RXS). This estimation appears at a time when there is increasing focus on asset tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi) and thus there will be a need for projects that can come up with new ideas to meet the market demands.
XRP’s Downtrend Continues Amidst Bearish Indicators
Ripple’s XRP has been on the downtrend and is unable to hold onto critical support levels. In the past few days, XRP has fallen below $0.6 against USDT and has broken through its 200-day moving average that was $0.55. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the XRP/USDT chart is still below 50%, and the technical analysts believe that the price may continue to decline and possibly go below $0.5. If this key support is breached, XRP may be on its way to the $0.43 level.
Against BTC, XRP has also not been able to hold the key support at 850 SAT as it has dropped below it. This underperformance coupled with a RSI at the brink of oversold territory paint a picture that XRP is under a strong selling pressure. This lack of upward movement has led to the fear of XRP being pushed out of the top ten list especially should other assets perform better in the coming months.
Toncoin Faces Bearish Momentum Amid Declining Adoption Rate
Toncoin (TON) has also not been left behind as its price has been facing immense pressure and is still finding it hard to break the $5.37 level. TON has been moving sideways since early October and analysts suggest that the lack of new investors is the reason behind the stagnation of TON. The most recent data reveals that TON’s adoption rate went down to its lowest point in the past 18 months, pointing towards the fact that new users are no longer as engaged as they used to be.

Adding to the bearish sentiment, the RSI on TON’s chart remains in a downtrend, suggesting that the token has weak momentum. If TON fails to surpass the current resistance level, it may continue to trade within the range of $4.86 to $5.37, and drop lower in case of further bearish pressure.  Given the current low investor interest and reduced velocity, it is unclear whether Toncoin can sustain its position within the top 10, especially with nouveau projects creating more buzz.
Solana’s Rise Driven by Increased Network Activity
In contrast to XRP and TON, Solana (SOL) has been gaining momentum, fueled by growing decentralized exchange (DEX) activity and network usage. Solana’s transaction volumes have surged, driven in part by the popularity of memecoins and low transaction fees that make the network an attractive platform for traders. Recently, Solana’s DEX volume has occasionally matched or even surpassed Ethereum’s, indicating that more users are choosing Solana for faster, cheaper transactions.
Solana’s technological developments also contribute to its appeal. With the Firedancer upgrade expected in 2025, Solana aims to enhance its transaction capacity, positioning itself as a more scalable solution in the DeFi space. Analysts from VanEck suggest that if Solana can maintain its user growth and transaction volumes, it may secure a more permanent spot among the top cryptocurrencies, potentially even closing the gap with Ethereum in terms of market share.
Rexas Finance Gains Popularity Through RWA Tokenization
Another project expected to make waves is Rexas Finance (RXS), which has captured investor interest by focusing on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Through its platform, users can tokenize physical assets, such as real estate and collectibles, making previously illiquid assets accessible to a broader audience.
This innovative approach has led to RXS’s recent listing on CoinMarketCap and substantial fundraising in its presale stages. As the demand for RWA tokenization grows, analysts predict Rexas Finance could play a major role in bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology. The project’s presale has already raised over $4.5 million, signaling strong investor confidence. With asset tokenization considered a potentially transformative trend in the crypto market, RXS’s entry into the top 10 could mark a shift toward utility-driven projects over traditional cryptocurrencies.
