Next Altcoins to Explode, November 30 – XRP, Stellar, Chainlink

Highlights:

• XRP is set to rise as the legal battles of Ripple near conclusion and the upcoming launch of its stablecoin.
• Stellar is trading at $0.5354 and the surge is driven by partnerships and a focus on providing efficient payment solutions.
• Chainlink is currently trading at $18.32 as it gains traction as DeFi adoption increases and its staking feature boosts security.

The global cryptocurrency market is up 1.35% today, with a market cap of $3.39 trillion. The 24-hour trading volume has increased 14.51% to $170.85 billion after falling by 26.92% yesterday. Bitcoin continues to dominate the market with a 56.4% market share. The fear and greed index stands at 83%, with no change from yesterday.

Bitcoin is trading at $96,711, with a small increase of 0.30% in the past 24 hours. The coin is yet to hit the $100,000 mark, which leads to speculation that the altcoin season has not started yet. 

Analysts have predicted that the first quarter of 2025 will see the altcoin peak season. These coins offer the best investment alternative to Bitcoin and favour mostly small investors. XRP, Stellar, and Chainlink are the best choices to invest in today before the peak season arrives.

1. XRP

XRP is trading at around $1.89, with a 22.55% increase in the past 24 hours. Its market capitalization stands at $105.66 billion, with a 19.61% increase in the past 24 hours. The trading volume has increased by 157.05% in the past week signaling increased market activity.

The price of XRP is expected to surge with the upcoming launch of RLUSD. This stablecoin aims to provide fast, cost-effective transactions for cross-border payments. Furthermore, it could drive widespread adoption of XRP in the global financial system. Ripple is awaiting the final green light from the New York Department of Financial Services to formally launch.

Will RLUSD affect XRP price?

Yes, XRP is a native token to RLUSD, just like BTC is a native token to Tether. Every time new Tether are minted, the price of BTC goes up. This will be same for XRP after the launch date of RLUSD next Wednesday 12/4/24. 🪙 💰 #XRP #RLUSD #XRPETF pic.twitter.com/7IE5U2eJNa

Additionally, WisdomTree has filed for an XRP-based exchange-traded fund (ETF), which is expected to drive the price of XRP up. This ETF will allow traditional investors to gain exposure to XRP without directly purchasing the cryptocurrency. The approval of such an ETF will boost the price even further. 

2. Stellar (XLM)

XLM is currently trading at $0.5354. The trading volume has surged by 110.83% to 3.86 Billion in the past 24 hours. Stellar aims to facilitate low-cost, fast international transactions. Its decentralized protocol connects people, payment systems, and banks globally. 

XLM plays a key role in foreign exchange (FOREX) by allowing easy conversion between currencies. In addition, this real-world utility strengthens its long-term growth potential. As more financial systems adopt Stellar, its relevance increases in the global financial ecosystem.

Analysts predict that XLM could reach $1 by December. Additionally, the surge is expected to be driven by growing adoption and advancements in its technology. Its role in international money transfers positions it as a critical player in the future of finance. The expansion of its partnerships and integration with financial institutions may further push altcoin’s price higher.

3. Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink is currently trading at $18.32. The price has surged by 49.34% in the past one month. Its trading volume is also surging showing renewed interest from investors.

Chainlink plays a vital role in decentralized finance (DeFi) by providing real-world data to smart contracts. Its oracles connect blockchains with external data sources. Moreover, this makes it integral to many blockchain projects.

LINK’s recent price movement shows steady growth, supported by increasing demand for its services. Recent developments further fuel optimism for Chainlink. Chainlink was selected for Hashdex’s crypto ETF, which could introduce LINK to new institutional investors.

Additionally, Chainlink is part of Brazil’s Drex CBDC pilot phase. This partnership could expand Chainlink’s use case in government-backed financial systems. As adoption grows, analysts expect altcoin’s price to rise, potentially surpassing $50 soon.
