BNB currently dominates the exchange token segment and attracts capital inflows from institutions and the community.
If the current trend continues, BNB could remain at the center of the next altcoin wave. However, short-term volatility and profit-taking pressure are factors that need close monitoring.
This has pushed BNB’s market capitalization to $114.36 billion, officially surpassing Nike and MicroStrategy.

“That strength isn’t cosmetic — it powers both Binance and BNB Chain, and the ongoing burn tightens supply as on-chain activity grows,” commented X user Daniel Nita.
With this strong growth, BNB dominates the exchange token segment. It currently accounts for 81% of the total market capitalization of all exchange-based tokens.
This reflects Binance’s brand strength and the appeal of the BNB Chain ecosystem in DeFi, NFTs, and RWAs.

PancakeSwap, the largest DeFi protocol on BNB Chain, also benefits from this price rally. BNB’s ATH has attracted new capital inflows into CAKE, thanks to the close liquidity and market sentiment relationship between the two tokens.
Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, BNB has become a target for institutions looking to build strategic reserves. Recently, Nasdaq-listed company BNC (formerly Vape) spent USD 160 million to purchase 200,000 BNB, making BNC the largest institutional holder of BNB globally.
Previously, Windtree Therapeutics was also seeking to raise USD 520 million to build a BNB reserve. This could mark the expansion of the “BNB treasury” trend among businesses.
Potential to Rise to $1,200
Moreover, crypto analyst Ali shared on X that Binance Coin’s price structure mirrors Bitcoin’s price action. Based on this observation, Ali believes BNB could enter the early phase of a rally toward the $1,200 mark.
While the future price outlook for BNB appears optimistic, BeInCrypto observed that when BNB recently hit its new ATH, some medium-term holders began selling off their BNB, creating certain selling pressure. As a result, investors should be cautious with their leveraged positions to avoid liquidation during BNB’s strong rallies.
XRP is up more than 8% over the past seven days, but it hasn’t been able to maintain the strong momentum sparked by the SEC dropping its lawsuit against Ripple.
After the initial surge, XRP has entered a phase of consolidation, with price action stuck between key support and resistance levels. Technical indicators now reflect a market on pause, with momentum fading and direction unclear.
RSI has now slipped closer to neutral territory, suggesting that market participants are increasingly uncertain about the next move.
Importantly, XRP hasn’t reached RSI levels above 70—commonly associated with overbought and strongly bullish conditions—since March 19, over a week ago, indicating a lack of strong buying pressure during this period.
RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements on a scale from 0 to 100.
An RSI reading above 70 typically signals that an asset is overbought and could be due for a pullback, while a reading below 30 suggests it may be oversold and primed for a bounce. Values between 50 and 70 generally reflect bullish momentum, whereas readings between 30 and 50 lean bearish.
With XRP now sitting at 52.89, it remains above the midpoint but is edging closer to neutral, suggesting the recent bullish phase may be cooling off unless renewed buying activity steps in.
Ichimoku Cloud Shows An Indecisive Market
XRP’s Ichimoku Cloud chart shows a market in consolidation, with price action hovering just above the cloud but lacking strong momentum.
The Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines are relatively flat and close together, indicating a pause in trend strength and a balance between buyers and sellers.
The lack of a clear Tenkan/Kijun crossover also supports the idea that the market is in a neutral phase rather than trending decisively in either direction.
The cloud ahead is thin and slightly bullish. This suggests that while there is some support beneath the price, it’s not particularly strong.
A thin cloud typically signals potential vulnerability, as it may not hold up well against increased selling pressure. Meanwhile, the Chikou Span (lagging line) is interacting closely with past price action, another sign that momentum is weakening.
Overall, the Ichimoku setup reflects uncertainty, with XRP needing a decisive push in either direction to escape this range-bound structure.
The price is now caught between a resistance zone at $2.47 and support at $2.35. That highlights a phase of consolidation and indecision.
If the current support level is retested and fails to hold, XRP could see increased selling pressure. That would open the door for a move down to $2.22. If bearish momentum intensifies, a deeper drop toward $1.90 is possible.
The crypto market’s ongoing growth is propelling several tokens toward new highs, with many already achieving this milestone in the past week. Among those poised to follow suit is BNB, which is on track to make history.
BeInCrypto has identified two additional altcoins that are quickly approaching their all-time highs and could soon set new records.
XRP
XRP price recently marked a new all-time high, reaching $3.66 for the first time in over six months. While the altcoin experienced a slight dip shortly after, it now trades just 3.2% below its ATH, signaling strong investor interest.
The exponential moving averages show a bullish Golden Cross and are currently serving as dynamic support. This technical signal suggests that XRP is primed for continued gains. A breakout past the $3.66 level could propel the altcoin toward $3.80, enabling it to set a fresh all-time high.

However, profit-taking remains a risk as some investors may look to cash in on recent gains. If selling pressure intensifies, XRP price could break below the $3.38 support level. A fall to $3.00 would invalidate the bullish outlook and potentially mark the beginning of a broader correction.
BNB
BNB price is currently trading at $761, just 4% short of breaching its all-time high of $793. Investors have waited seven months for this moment. To achieve a breakout, the altcoin must first secure $741 as a stable support.
The Parabolic SAR indicator is currently positioned below the candlesticks, acting as a strong signal of bullish momentum. This technical pattern suggests an ongoing uptrend. If sustained, BNB could surpass the $793 mark and also climb to $810, setting a new all-time high and reinforcing investor optimism.
However, a premature sell-off could hinder this rally. If BNB fails to hold the $741 support level, it risks declining to $700. Such a drop would invalidate the bullish outlook and may trigger a wave of caution across the market, especially among short-term traders banking on a breakout.
Hyperliquid (HYPE)
HYPE is positioned to chart a new all-time high, provided it secures $46.94 as solid support. Maintaining this floor could pave the way for HYPE to extend its upward momentum in the near term.
Currently trading at $46.89, HYPE is just over 6% away from breaching its all-time high of $49.87, recorded last week. The Ichimoku Cloud forming below the candlesticks signals growing bullish strength. This technical setup indicates a high probability for HYPE to surpass the $50.00 mark soon.
However, if HYPE fails to establish $46.94 as reliable support, the bullish outlook could be invalidated. A drop toward $42.30 would represent a significant correction, erasing recent gains. Such a reversal would also reduce investor confidence and signal a potential shift in short-term market sentiment.
Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Europe’s flagship blockchain and Web3 event, wrapped up its sixth edition at the iconic Carrousel du Louvre, once again raising the bar for global industry gatherings. With over 9,600 attendees from 95 countries, including 67% C-suite executives, this year’s event underscored the growing influence of blockchain across the broader tech and financial sectors.
More than 500 speakers took the stage, including major names like Charles Hoskinson (IOHK), Monica Long (Ripple), Adam Back (Blockstream), and Clara Chappaz (France’s Minister Delegate for AI & Digital Affairs), reflecting the event’s global reach.
Spotlight: PSG × Matchain Side Event – A Landmark Moment in Sports & Web3
One of the standout moments of the week took place outside the main conference venue at the iconic Parc des Princes, where Paris Saint-Germain and Matchain hosted a special side event announcing the launch of their Joint Innovation Studio.
BeInCrypto joined as the official media partner for this exclusive gathering, which brought together sports executives, blockchain leaders, and technologists to explore the future of decentralized identity, fan engagement, and Web3 innovation in sports.
Petrix Barbosa, CEO of Matchain, announced the initiative and celebrated Matchain’s award for Innovation of the Year, spotlighting their pioneering work in tokenized identity solutions.
Pär Helgosson, Head of PSG Labs, emphasized PSG’s continued push to integrate Web3 technologies into fan experiences and digital strategy.
The atmosphere at the stadium matched the ambition of the project, merging cutting-edge blockchain use cases with the passion and scale of global sports. As media partner, BeInCrypto provided exclusive coverage, interviews, and behind-the-scenes insights from this milestone event.

Javier Rodriguez-Alarcon, COO, XBTO
David Prinçay, director, Binance France
Their insights touched on everything from decentralized finance and tokenized data to semantic identity and sports monetization via blockchain.
Industry Themes and Investor Highlights
A recurring message across the conference was the resilience of blockchain technologies amid economic uncertainty and regulatory transformation. Speakers like Charles Hoskinson and Monica Long emphasized blockchain’s foundational role in shaping future financial systems.
Regulatory spats between the USA and EU have sparked lively debates, with many nodding in agreement that MICA stands as a cornerstone for clearing up the crypto circus on one side of the Atlantic. Meanwhile, the tokenization of real-world assets has become the hot new trend on the block. Following the ETF bandwagon, it appears even the old-school financial giants are seeing tokenization as their golden ticket into the crypto world.
Meme coins, those oddballs of the crypto market, continue to hold their ground as a quirky yet surprisingly significant sector, even though the recent market dip has widened the rift between the staunchly “serious” Bitcoin advocates and the more colorful meme coin enthusiasts.
Beyond the buzz of tokenization, utility coins are tiptoeing back into the spotlight, though hitting a critical mass of users is proving to be a bit like herding cats – a major roadblock on their path to stardom.
As for the tech vanguards, security and scalability remain their pet peeves, with fresh solutions popping up left and right. The ongoing tug-of-war between achieving robust decentralization and actually making these solutions user-friendly continues to fuel fiery debates among the most tech-obsessed attendees at the event.
On the investor side, the “Start in Block” pitch competition attracted 1,000+ startups and 400+ investors, with €10 million in funding up for grabs. Meanwhile, side events like AgentX, Bitcoin Investors Day, and an exclusive VIP dinner under the Louvre Pyramid kept the conversations and deal-making going beyond the conference floor.
