Quick Take
  • The worst market dips are often the best days to buy crypto.
  • With Bitcoin ($BTC) struggling to hold ground above $70,000, blue-chip cryptos are trading at a relative discount.
  • Things are constantly moving towards global adoption, even if it doesn’t seem that way.
  • In that light, certain news and chart signals suggest that XRP, Solana and Dogecoin are the best plays to stockpile ahead of the next bull market.

What Happened

U.S. regulators recently approved spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), opening the door for both institutional and retail investors to gain exposure through compliant investment products.

At roughly $85, SOL trades well below its 30-day moving average. Its relative strength index (RSI) sits near 28, indicating oversold conditions are likely to trigger investor re-accumulation this week.

Launched in 2013, Dogecoin ($DOGE) is the original and largest meme coin with a market capitalization of $16 billion.

Off the beaten path, a brand new altcoin could outperform XRP and Solana this year. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) bootstraps the legendary Bitcoin network to increase its transaction throughput, lower fees, and introduce advanced smart contracts.

Market Context

The worst market dips are often the best days to buy crypto.

With Bitcoin ($BTC) struggling to hold ground above $70,000, blue-chip cryptos are trading at a relative discount.

In that light, certain news and chart signals suggest that XRP, Solana and Dogecoin are the best plays to stockpile ahead of the next bull market.

The $87 billion cap XRP ($XRP) is the market leader in fast, cost-efficient cross-border transactions.

Reports by the United Nations Capital Development Fund and even the White House have cited XRP, highlighting its potential to revolutionize payments.

Solana ($SOL) is the largest smart contract platform outside of Ethereum. The network currently hosts $6.5 billion in total value locked (TVL), while SOL’s market capitalization exceeds $48 billion.

Its explosive rally during the 2021 bull market, fueled by high-profile supporters including Elon Musk, Snoop Dogg, and Gene Simmons, helped cement Dogecoin’s place in mainstream culture.

Despite its parodic origins Dogecoin’s size and liquidity reduces the extreme volatility often seen in smaller meme coins. Accordingly, DOGE frequently behaves more like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP than a meme coin.

“Dogecoin to $1” continues to rally the Doge Army. If market conditions improve, DOGE could see meaningful upside, potentially rising 5x from its current $0.10 level to reach $0.50 by mid-year.

Why It Matters

More favorable developments could push XRP to $5 by the end of Q2.

Should SOL break decisively above resistance levels near $200 and $275, it could revisit and surpass its previous ATH of $293.31 before the end of the second quarter.

Beyond technical signals, Solana is becoming a preferred network for real-world asset tokenization. Asset managers such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have already started issuing tokenized instruments on Solana.
