Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance has cooked up a storm in the crypto market. Ever since he won the presidential election, the market has been raging like a wild bull. Bitcoin is soaring towards $110K as rumors of a strategic Bitcoin reserve are heating up. From what we gather, at least eight US states have proposed maintaining a Bitcoin reserve: Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wyoming, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma. The idea stems from Trump’s crypto-friendly approach and promises to make the US the ‘crypto capital of the world.’ At the center of the ‘Bitcoin reserve’ idea is Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Republican. Lummis believes a Bitcoin reserve can ‘supercharge the US dollar’s position’ and make the US a leader in the crypto space. The idea is already in motion with the new ‘Bitcoin Act,’ which empowers the US Department of Treasury to hold a decentralized network of secure Bitcoin vaults. If the idea does go through, the crypto market is all set to see another boom. Of course, you would not want to miss out on the upcoming rally. Although Bitcoin itself can be a smart investment choice, here are six meme coins that can potentially make you a millionaire in 2025. 1. Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) – Overall Best Meme Coin for First-Time Investors Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) aims to do the unthinkable, which is to abolish the unfair dominance of crypto whales. It plans to do so by creating a ‘Frog Army’ of retail crypto traders and investors and providing them with critical and unique market insights, alpha trading calls and signals, and trading strategies. $WEPE’s unique mission has evidently resonated with the masses, seeing as its presale has grown into one of the hottest crypto presales in 2025. With over $53M in presale funding so far, Wall Street Pepe has managed to raise an average of 1M+ every single day. What’s more, it shows no signs of slowing down. The final countdown has started, and the presale is set to come to an end in 25 days. This means that the current price of $0.0003665 per $WEPE offers the best entry point for early investors. If you’re interested in this potential 100x token, check out our guide on how to buy $WEPE for more information. 2. Solaxy ($SOLX) – Solana’s Layer-2 Solution Breathes New Life Into the Network Solaxy ($SOLX) is the first-ever Layer-2 solution on the Solana network, offering a wealth of benefits to improve its overall quality. It promises to eliminate network downtime and bottlenecks, ensure that transactions will be executed even when there’s a lot of traffic, and enable effortless scaling. In addition to being tailor-made for high-volume trading, Solaxy is also a token that operates equally well on both Ethereum and Solana, which is set to amplify its appeal. Speaking of $SOLX’s appeal, it’s been on full display ever since its presale launched on December 12, 2024. It has so far raised over $12.4M, and with Solana ETFs set to launch in the near future, it’s been touted as the next multi-bagger token by experts and retailers alike. If you want to join the bandwagon, head over to Solaxy’s official website and grab $SOLX tokens for just $0.001608 each. Early adopters can also benefit from Solaxy’s 304% staking rewards. 3. Mind of Pepe ($MIND) – Cutting-Edge AI Crypto Project MIND of Pepe ($MIND) borrows the OG Pepe meme’s personality, but under the hood, it’s every bit as unique as a human being’s fingerprints. It’s an AI agent that scours online platforms like X, imbibes what people are saying, and uses hive-mind analysis to generate potentially profitable crypto investment ideas. MIND of Pepe’s presale has been extremely successful, having already raised over $2.6M so far. Currently available at a price of $0.0031635 per token, $MIND is a meme coin that may 100x in the near future. Another massive benefit of being an early $MIND investor is its mind-boggling 772% staking rewards, which will only decrease as time passes, so hurry up! 4. OFFICIAL TRUMP ($TRUMP) – Official Hype Coin of the President of the United States Donald Trump’s own crypto, $TRUMP, has been breathing fire ever since its launch just a couple of days ago. Soon after Trump launched the coin on TruthSocial, it skyrocketed over 12,000% overnight. On Sunday, the Solana-hosted meme coin reached a market cap of $9.36B, with the price hovering around $46. Within the next few hours, the price climbed further to reach a massive market cap of $15B. This made $TRUMP the 18th biggest cryptocurrency at the time. The current market cap sits at around $9.75B at a price of $48.8. Inspired by the appointment of the pro-crypto Trump as POTUS, the crypto market was already in a frenzy, and $TRUMP, which is admittedly more hype than logic, is benefitting from positive market sentiment, offering interested investors a risky but potentially lucrative opportunity. Right now, only 20% of the total supply has been made available for trading. The remaining 80% of the reserves are held by CIC Digital LLC (Trump’s business affiliate) and Fight Fight Fight LLC. 5. Official Melania Meme ($MELANIA) – Meme Coin of the First Lady of the US Following the footsteps of Donald Trump, Melania Trump, the First Lady of the US, also launched her own meme coin, $MELANIA. Like $TRUMP, $MELANIA is also hosted on the Solana blockchain. Soon after launch, the coin started trading around $11.22 with a market cap of $2.15B. Currently, the token is hovering around $7.7, having seen a sharp decline from its highs. So, should you buy $TRUMP or $MELANIA? Although the sample size is small as of now, $TRUMP has had a way better response from crypto enthusiasts. In comparison, $MELANIA has had a sedate start, with no real surge in value. Also, $TRUMP is a direct reflection of Trump’s popularity and policy making. The prices are expected to surge once Trump introduces crypto-friendly legislation. Plus, $TRUMP’s price seemed to have cooled down from the initial frenzy, meaning it may be a good entry point for long-term investors. 6. XRP ($XRP) – Meme Coin with the Potential to Outperform Ethereum Ever since the US elections in November, Ripple’s $XRP has been in a massive rally upward, increasing almost 500% – from $0.5444 to $3.2733. With XRP’s price holding strong, experts believe it can soon surpass Ethereum in valuation. Even on the technical front, $XRP seems to have broken out of a bullish flag pattern, which is a strong indication of a continuing uptrend. Technical analysts believe the coin’s price can peak in the $20s. Plus, there has been a significant 81% increase in ‘whale activity’ in $XRP during the last week. Although it can’t be confirmed if this activity is related to buying or selling, there are reasons to believe whales are building a long position in the coin. The $XRP buzz is further fueled by Ripple’s strategic moves. CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that Ripple is in talks to accelerate deal-making and work toward tokenization in association with several startups. The company plans to acquire crypto custody forms and stablecoin businesses to gain an edge in the crypto market. All these suggest that $XRP can be a sound investment choice. Verdict The above-mentioned meme coins offer some of the most lucrative investment opportunities in 2025. However, we urge you not to consider our opinions as financial advice. Kindly do your own research (DYOR) and only invest an amount you’re comfortable losing.

HBAR Current Price Momentum Amid …
Bitcoin’s recent rise above $100,000 has kept the market on edge as bullish momentum attempts to establish a new liquidity zone beyond this milestone. This push has introduced significant volatility over the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin fluctuating between $99,701 and $106,307 during this period. This intense volatility has allowed Bitcoin to achieve a daily close above a key confluent resistance level that had capped its price action for the past month. Despite this progress, Bitcoin continues to test the $106,000 upper boundary, and a decisive rejection at this level could trigger a downturn, potentially driving the price as low as $91,000. Bitcoin Successfully Closes Above Confluent Resistance According to technical analysis from crypto analyst Rekt Capital, Bitcoin has managed a daily close above a significant confluent resistance level. This was noted in a technical analysis of the Bitcoin daily candlestick price action posted on social media platform X and emphasizes a key event in Bitcoin’s rally. The confluent resistance in question is defined by two critical elements: a horizontal resistance trendline at $101,165 and a descending trendline, which has been consistently marking lower highs since Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $108,135 on December 18, 2024. Related Reading: Crypto Fear And Greed Index Barrels Toward Extreme Greed Again As Bitcoin Price Clears $101,000, Is This Good News? Since breaking out of this confluence area, Bitcoin has managed to push towards $106,000, but candlestick formations are starting to reveal a slowdown in momentum. Particularly, Bitcoin has created a hammer candlestick and a doji candlestick in successive days, both of which are traditionally associated with a slowdown in momentum or potential market indecision. This suggests that the bullish momentum might be waning as quickly and opens up the possibility of a downward move to retest the confluence area it just broke out from. BTC Needs To Hold Above This Level Maintaining a position above the breakout confluence area is crucial for determining Bitcoin’s next move. As Rekt Capital highlighted, a sustained rejection at the $106,000 level could cause a downward movement to retest the confluence area, which is highlighted with the green circle in the chart above. Related Reading: Bitcoin Upper Band Moves Above $105,400 – Where Price Is Headed Next If Bitcoin does retest this zone, two potential scenarios could unfold. The first, and more bullish outcome, would involve a successful retest followed by a rebound at the confluence area. This behavior is characteristic of post-breakout price action, where a pullback strengthens the new support and allows the price to gather momentum for another leg upward. Conversely, the second scenario is more bearish. If Bitcoin fails to hold above the confluence support, the cryptocurrency could face increased selling pressure and trigger a deeper correction. According to Rekt Capital’s analysis, the next significant support levels to watch are $91,070 and $87,325. A decline to these levels would represent a substantial pullback and might reset market expectations for the short term. Bitcoin is currently trading at $106,100.

Look out, here comes XRP! In the wake of the US presidential elections, XRP’s engine began to rev. Now, with the inauguration of President Trump only hours away, XRP is taking off! XRP Rides To Near All-Time High Ripple’s cryptocurrency, XRP, soared to a near all-time high, peaking at $3.31 with a 6.35% increase in 24 hours. Mounting optimism around Ripple has fueled the charge. There’s increased buzz about the approval of XRP-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and favorable developments in its long-standing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC initially filed a lawsuit against Ripple in 2020, accusing the company of conducting unregistered securities offerings. However, recent rulings have taken a positive turn for Ripple, with a judge imposing a $125M fine—far below the SEC’s initial demand of $2B. The SEC’s subsequent appeal comes as expected. But with soon-to-be President Trump incoming, many investors expect the more crypto-friendly regulatory environment to reduce the likelihood that the SEC will win any notable reversal. In the meantime, Ripple’s leadership has expressed confidence in the likelihood of XRP ETFs following in the footsteps of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently met with President-elect Donald Trump, further fueling speculation about regulatory changes and an environment turning notably pro-crypto. The nomination of Paul Atkins as the new SEC Chair – a decidedly pro-crypto voice – is also anticipated to pave the way for more cryptocurrency ETFs. A New Era of Low-Cap Coins? Memecoins enjoyed a strong end to 2024 and a steady increase in 2025 so far. With Bitcoin continuing to climb and XRP surging, the blue-chip cryptos are setting the stage for a resurgence of low-cap coins. One such token is the BEST Wallet token, a presale offering from leading web3 wallet, BEST Wallet. It’s already raised $7.6M with its promise of enhanced utility and access to the broader BEST Wallet ecosystem for $BEST token holders. The $BEST token looks set to ride the same wave Ripple’s XRP is on; major market momentum buoyed by strong fundamentals and a bullish outlook from US government regulators. The token is part of a wave of emerging crypto presales that are poised for big moves. Trump’s presidency could make him the first crypto president. He’s certainly going all-in on crypto, as recent developments like his plan to start a national crypto reserve for the US show. Trump Family Enters the Cryptocurrency Arena In a surprising move just three days before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump announced the launch of a meme coin, $TRUMP, on the Solana blockchain. The coin’s market cap quickly soared to over $9B following its unexpected release. First Lady-elect Melania Trump then launched her own meme coin, $MELANIA, which also garnered significant attention, stealing $TRUMP’s show and raising 12B market cap in under 3 hours, before petering off. Whether you should buy $TRUMP or $MELANIA depends on your appetite for risk and volatility. But by all accounts, the Trump-family tokens have already become big market movers. Of course, it’s always best to do your own research, and don’t take anyone’s word as financial advice! Volatility is, as always, the name of the game with crypto. But even if nothing more than a pre-election PR stunt, both $TRUMP and $MELANIA are clear indicators of just how pro-crypto Trump’s administration intends to be. With $XRP and $TRUMP surging, and $BEST set to make a move, the year 2025 is rapidly shaping up to be a banner year for the crypto world.
