Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL) are making major market moves and growing institutional adoption - we’ll check the details below.
At the same time, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) may get traction for its approach to upgrading Bitcoin with hybrid L2 technology.
Here’s a breakdown of what makes each project stand out.
As of today, XRP is trading at around $2.50, with a 24-hour trading volume of $3.93 billion. In the last 24 hours, its price has climbed by 3.09%.
WisdomTree just launched an XRP-backed exchange-traded product (ETP) on major European exchanges like Deutsche Börse Xetra, SIX, and Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam. This ETP gives investors easy access to XRP with a low 0.50% management fee and extra security through cold storage.
Dark Defender predicts XRP is nearing the end of its consolidation phase and is preparing for a breakout, with short-term targets at $5.85 and $8.76.
At the moment, Solana is trading at around $204.73, with a 24-hour trading volume of $4.67 billion. In the last 24 hours, its price has inched up by 0.1%.
Solana is seeing explosive growth, with over 5 million new addresses created every day. More users and developers are moving to its fast, low-cost blockchain, which makes it a top choice for DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 apps.
Future Trends expects Solana to pull back to around $190 before potentially rallying higher based on a bullish algorithmic structure in the 30-minute timeframe.
Bitcoin changed the financial world, but using it for everyday transactions is still a challenge. Slow speeds, high fees, and limited flexibility make it difficult for businesses and individuals to rely on it for payments.
PlutoChain ($PLUTO) is a hybrid Layer-2 solution that might make Bitcoin faster, cheaper, and more practical for daily use.
Right now, Bitcoin block times can take up to 10 minutes to confirm, which isn’t ideal for everyday purchases or sending money abroad. PlutoChain’s Layer-2 technology could bring block times of just two seconds, which could make Bitcoin a real contender for instant payments and global transfers.
Another major advantage is lower transaction fees. Bitcoin’s costs can make small payments impractical, but PlutoChain is designed to drastically reduce fees, which could make transactions more affordable for users and businesses.
But PlutoChain isn’t just about payments. It introduces Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility and could allow Bitcoin to support DeFi applications, NFTs, and even AI-driven blockchain projects — things Bitcoin wasn’t originally built for.
Security is one of the top priorities. PlutoChain has been audited by SolidProof, QuillAudits, and Assure DeFi, to ensure a strong security framework. It also undergoes ongoing stress tests and code reviews to keep the network reliable.
Scalability is another big win. During testing, PlutoChain handled over 43,200 transactions in a single day without slowdowns, which proves it can handle heavy demand.
Unlike Bitcoin, where changes are decided by miners and developers, PlutoChain gives users a say by allowing them to propose and vote on upgrades.
By solving Bitcoin’s biggest limitations, PlutoChain could help it become the fast, low-cost, and widely accepted currency many have been waiting for.
XRP is streamlining cross-border payments, and Solana is expanding Web3, but PlutoChain might stand out with its hybrid L2 approach to scaling Bitcoin.
By making transactions faster, cheaper, and more flexible, PlutoChain could be the key to finally making Bitcoin a real option for everyday use.
