The crypto market is rising, and several altcoins are positioning themselves for big moves. With major partnerships, integrations, and bullish regulatory developments, certain projects are standing out from the crowd. If you’re looking for altcoins to stack right now, here are three tokens that deserve a spot on your radar, according to Altcoin Buzz.
Altcoin 1: XRP
XRP (Ripple) is causing a stir after it tried to buy Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, for $5 billion. However, Circle turned down the offer. This move was Ripple’s way of trying to take control of the stablecoin market. Ripple is also allegedly meeting with the new SEC chairman, Paul Atkins, which could help solve past legal issues and lead to better times for XRP. The price of XRP is showing signs it might go up soon.
Altcoin 2: SUI
Sui (SUI) is growing fast by adding Stacks and sBTC to its platform. This allows Bitcoin holders to use their Bitcoin in new ways on Sui. Recently, Sui has become more valuable than big projects like Avalanche and Chainlink.
The team is also preparing for the Sui Base Camp event in Dubai, where they will reveal new projects and partnerships. The co-founder of Sui believes the network could become a multi-trillion-dollar project over the next 8 to 12 years as the crypto world continues to expand.
Altcoin 3: HBAR
Hedera (HBAR) has some exciting news. There’s an 80% chance that an HBAR ETF will be approved soon. If it happens, it could raise the price of HBAR. Hedera is also working with the Nairobi Stock Exchange to create a digital platform that will turn real-world assets, like real estate and stocks, into digital tokens. Hedera is known for being one of the fastest and cheapest blockchains, which makes it a top choice for tokenizing assets. The price of HBAR is expected to keep rising in the next few weeks.
The SEC is currently reviewing spot crypto ETFs, following its approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Now, big names like Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, 21Shares, Canary Capital, Grayscale, and WisdomTree are all competing to launch an XRP ETF.
It has started reviewing with Grayscale’s application on February 14, which began a 240-day review period. Other filings from WisdomTree, Canary Capital, and CoinShares are also under review and are now open for public comments.
However, the SEC has delayed its decision on Grayscale’s XRP ETF application, along with several other crypto spot ETFs, including those for Solana, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. Investors will have to wait until May 2025 for updates on whether these ETFs will be approved, rejected, or further delayed.
Multiple XRP ETFs Coming In May?
The new deadline for XRP ETFs is May 22, 2025, affecting filings from Canary, Bitwise, and Grayscale.
May 22 likely multiple XRP ETF approvals.
Again, while I don’t think this has a specific impact on price, it will validate XRP as legit and open the floodgates to investors looking to hold a liquid, digital asset..
Market watchers speculate that on May 22, multiple XRP ETFs are likely to be approved, which will make XRP more legitimate and easier for investors to buy. This will attract new investors who are not familiar with crypto wallets or regulations, allowing them to buy XRP through regular stock accounts.
While it may take over a year for this to impact XRP’s price, the news will likely cause a short-term price boost.
The Odds Of Approval
Notably, Bloomberg analysts predict a 65% chance that the SEC will approve XRP ETFs in 2025. While Polymarket currently places the odds at 72%, indicating strong confidence in a favorable outcome.
Analyst James Seyffart shared an update on recent crypto spot ETF filings, saying the SEC delayed decisions on altcoin ETFs like Litecoin, Solana, XRP, and DOGE, which is typical, especially since Atkins hasn’t been confirmed yet. He added that this delay doesn’t affect their relatively high chances of approval, and the final deadlines for these ETFs aren’t until October.
Yes, the SEC just punted on a bunch of alt coin ETF filings including Litecoin, Solana, XRP & DOGE. It’s expected as this is standard procedure & Atkins hasn’t even been confirmed yet. This doesn’t change our (relatively high) odds of approval. Also note that the final deadlines…
ETF Decision Delayed as Atkins Awaits Confirmation
Seyffart pointed out that Paul Atkins is awaiting confirmation as SEC Chair, which could be important for the ongoing SEC appeal in the Ripple case. The SEC filed its appeal on January 15, challenging a ruling on XRP sales, with Ripple’s reply due by April 16. If Atkins is confirmed before this deadline, he, along with other SEC officials, could push to withdraw the appeal.
Pro-crypto lawyer Fred Rispoli believes the Ripple case will be resolved before April 16, 2025, and speculates that a deal may have been reached behind the scenes. James Murphy also hinted that ongoing talks could delay withdrawing the appeal, which might open the door for XRP spot ETFs to be approved.

The Trump family’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) continues to make headlines, extending its reach in the crypto arena. Recent developments follow key announcements during Token2049 in Dubai.
Eric Trump made interesting revelations during the event, including integrations involving USD1 stablecoin.
World Liberty Financial During 2049: What Users Need To Know
Speaking at the Token2049 event, Eric Trump announced the integration of World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin with Tron.
Trump’s DeFi venture launched the USD1 stablecoin only recently, commissioning it to promote dollar dominance. Short-term US treasuries and cash equivalents back the stablecoin.
Notwithstanding this integration, USD1 will be deployed as a TRC-20 token on the Tron blockchain. This would allow USD1 to leverage Tron’s high-throughput, low-cost blockchain for transactions, smart contracts, and DeFi applications.
USD1 Stablecoin To Close $2 billion MGX-Binance Deal
Another interesting revelation during Token2049 is that World Liberty Financial’s USD1 is the choice stablecoin for MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance.
“MGX, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, invests $2 billion in Binance for a minority stake. The transaction will be 100% in crypto (stablecoins), marking it the largest investment transaction done in crypto to date. This is also the first institutional investment Binance has taken. Onwards, Build!” wrote Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance founder and former CEO.
With USD1 ascending to become the choice stablecoin in this landmark investment, it points to growing adoption and legitimacy for the token.
The investment will see MGX secure a stake in Binance, becoming one of the first institutional investments in the world’s largest exchange.
Notably, this revelation comes only days after World Liberty Financial executives met with Changpeng Zhao in Abu Dhabi. They reportedly discussed standardizing the crypto industry and boosting global adoption efforts.
Meanwhile, amidst these revelations around the DeFi venture, data shows that USD1 stablecoin has exceeded $2 billion in market capitalization metrics.
XRP price rebounds above $2 as BTC and ETH see $50M in liquidations, but derivatives trading metrics suggest weekend volume weakness may pressure altcoins lower.
Ripple (XRP) price holds $2 support as altcoins mirror Bitcoin’s resilience to Trade War Triggers
Ripple (XRP) price initially plunged to 30-day lows around $1.80 with hours after Trump announced sweeping tariffs during the liberation speech on Friday.
However, the momentum swung positive in recent days as BTC holds firm above $82,000 after China retaliatory 34% tariffs on Thursday, reinforcing investor confidence in the crypto markets as a crisis resistant asset class.

Ripple price rebounded 12.5% since Thursday, rising as as $2.15 at press time according to CoinMarketCap data.
As seen above, Ripple price continues to consolidate well-above the $2 mark, mirroring the likes of ETH, BTC and SOL, which have also defended key psychological support levels around $1,800, $80,000 and $110 respectively over the past week.
Derivative Market Analysis: Crypto Buying Pressure Could Slow Down this Weekend
With top-ranked crypto assets including XRP all consolidating around key psychological price points this weekend, it signal market-wide buying support, amid capital inflows from investors exiting stocks amid US trade war tensions.
However, considering that US markets are now closed, the volume of transitional capital flows could slow down significant until pre-market trading begin.
Validating this stance, Coinglass derivatives market data shows evidence of short-term bearish trading signals.
Crypto Derivatives Markets Analysis, BTC, ETH see combined losses of $50M, April 5. | Source: Coinglass
Derivatives data from Coinglass reinforces this stance. Over the past 24 hours, crypto markets saw a total of $110.65 million in liquidations, with long positions accounting for $85.10 million—over 76% of the total.
Bitcoin and Ethereum alone alone recorded nearly $50 million combined, with BTC traders booking $36.32 million in liquidations, followed by Ethereum at $13.61 million.
The bearish imbalance, especially the outsized long wipeouts in the last 12 hours ($67.11M longs vs $13.48M shorts), points to a rising number of over-leveraged bullish positions being flushed out.
This suggests short-term exhaustion in buying momentum, increasing the likelihood of a minor pullback or sideways action through the weekend.
With high leverage being unwound and external demand on pause, weekend trading may turn defensive with XRP markets and other prominent altcoins.
Strategic altcoin traders woould watch for support retests, especially if funding rates begin to flip or volume declines further ahead of Monday’s open.
As the week closes on April 5, XRP price forecast charts on TradingView reflect signs of short-term exhaustion following its rebound to $2.15.
Despite five consecutive green candles, XRP price remains below the 50-day EMA at $2.21 and the 100-day EMA at $2.28. This reflects supply-side pressure still outweighing momentum, even as bulls attempt a recovery from March’s lows.
XRP Price Forecast
Notably, the 200-day EMA near $1.95 is acting as a key anchor. A breach below this could trigger stop runs and reopen downside risk toward $1.80.
True Strength Index (TSI) remains in bearish territory at -0.80, yet is flattening, hinting that the selling momentum is decelerating. Volume has weakened across recent sessions, confirming the rally lacks conviction. A clear break above $2.22 would be required to invalidate near-term bearish bias.
Until that happens, XRP remains vulnerable to weekend drawdowns. Bulls must defend $1.95 or risk deeper losses into next week’s open. A close below $2.00 would reassert sellers’ control short-term.
