If Solana is currently the talk of the town among Layer-1s, then Digitap ($TAP) is the underdog that could turn SOL on its head.
As a brand-new project that’s still in presale, analysts already see Digitap as a rival to Solana in adoption, ecosystem strength, and market cap by sometime in 2026. And the more presale momentum $TAP gains, the more confidence analysts gain.
The reason why SOL is the talk of the town isn’t pretty. Specifically, the SOL price plummeted by around 7% in just one day, triggering widespread panic among investors. On the weekly chart, SOL’s price is down by 6%, taking SOL effectively out of the top 5 cryptocurrency running. This fall came as a result of a wider market downturn, which prevailed over SOL’s otherwise strong technical indicators.
Also, Solana’s fundamental backing is still strong, as Forward Industries recently announced a $4 billion equity offering to fund its Solana Treasury expansion. Still, SOL’s price couldn’t hold strong, currently trading at $221.37.
Another very important factor of note is that the so-called trenches (memecoin trading) are currently favoring the BNB chain, causing Solana’s memecoin trading to falter. This is also a big blow for Solana, and one of the driving catalysts that allowed BNB to take SOL’s place as #5 in the top 5 cryptocurrency list.
Investors from all over were shocked when SOL’s price started to fall on September 21, 2025. Many started selling their holdings, which caused the situation to worsen even more. However, expert analysts say that SOL is nowhere near its top, and many of them believe that this is just a steeper correction.
Let’s take a look at what X_Four_iv has to say: they say that Solana is following a textbook ascending trendline, with the SOL chart showing that each dip is being bought up. According to them, SOL’s price is now targeting the $250 resistance area, which would be a 13% increase from the current price.
MM_BTC has an even bolder projection, as they believe that the current SOL dump was expected. They claim that, as long as SOL’s price is above $185, the ultimate target for SOL’s price remains $500, which many expected to happen this year. However, by the looks of it, 2026 or 2027 is more likely.
So, expert analysts generally agree that Solana is nearing its critical $250 resistance yet again, and that breaching it this time will lead the SOL price to new ATHs. However, if SOL’s price fails again to breach $250, it could go on an extended downturn.
The reason why Digitap is turning so many heads isn’t a singular one. Namely, Digitap, as a brand-new project still in Stage 1 of its presale, introduces innovative technology unlike anything we’ve seen before. Its omni-bank solution offers never-before-seen advantages, including Visa card integration, AI-powered currency routing that reduces cross-border fees, and privacy-first features, among others.
This allows Digitap to “tap” into a few huge markets, including the traditional finance market, the cryptocurrency market, and the cross-border payments market. This also means that Digitap’s adoption levels could be unprecedented, as people outside the crypto world can also benefit from its extremely low international payment fees.
With this in mind, investors were quick to join the $TAP presale once it started, investing over $100,000 in just 24 hours. Right now, the $TAP price is at $0.0125 with over 13 million tokens sold. The next stage price will see a 27% rise to $0.0159 and even higher as the presale progresses.
What’s more, $TAP has a fixed supply of 2 billion tokens and a core mechanism that involves using 50% of all of Digitap’s profits to automatically buy back and burn tokens. This will create inherent scarcity for $TAP even after the presale ends. This deflationary model, combined with staking rewards of up to 124% APR for presale investors, has made $TAP one of the best ICOs the market has to offer.
SOL is still a force to be reckoned with, with its 2x potential in the coming year or two, but, due to its already-massive market cap and established nature, it can’t compare to newcomers like Digitap. Experts have already set their targets for $TAP, taking into consideration the already-big interest and the possibilities that it could bring in the years to come.
In their conservative projections, they share a 5-10x outcome for $TAP’s price, driven by the presale converting modestly at listing, product rollout being slow, and adoption being limited. Their base case, which depicts $TAP moving forward exactly as planned, sees the $TAP price rising by 20-30x from its current levels.
As for their bull case, they see $TAP’s already-planned roadmap being boosted by overall bullish macro tailwinds. In this case, they say that $TAP’s price can rise by 50-100x from its current levels.
While Solana offers established market positioning with moderate growth potential, Digitap presents an early-stage opportunity with exponential potential led by a tangible product-market fit in the broader financial service industry.
With this in mind, it's not hard to see Digital rivaling Solana by 2026 and even becoming one of the top 10 altcoins by market cap by then. So, there’s an argument to be made that $TAP is the best cryptocurrency to invest in 2025.
