Story Highlights
  • $XRP hit $3.65 after years, but Stellar ($XLM) stole the show by surging over 62% this week.

  • Meme coin $BONK soared 53%, outperforming $XRP’s 33% surge, gaining strong community and market attention.

  • Hedera and Algorand gained 40%, yet Stellar remains the fastest mover with bullish momentum continuing.

$XRP recently made headlines by smashing its previous all-time high and reaching $3.65. After years of waiting, the $XRP community finally saw the breakout they had been hoping for. In just seven days, the token has jumped over 33%, showing that the bulls are back in control.

But here’s the surprise, $XRP isn’t the top performer this week. Another top 3 coin has stolen the spotlight, outperforming $XRP’s performance.

Stellar ($XLM) Leads the Pack

Stellar ($XLM) is grabbing attention with a massive rally this month. Over the past week, $XLM surged more than 62%, far outpacing $XRP’s gains. It’s now trading around $0.49, up over 365% in a year.

$XLM’s rise is fueled by growing retail and institutional interest, strong partnerships, and real-world use cases. Its role in asset tokenization and hosting PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin adds even more credibility. Analysts are watching closely as $XLM consolidates near $0.50, with resistance levels at $0.56–$0.60.

Bonk ($BONK): The Meme Coin on Fire

Bonk ($BONK), a meme token on the Solana network, is another standout. In just a week, $BONK has jumped by about 53%, leaving $XRP and many other altcoins behind.

After hitting a recent high of $0.00004022, $BONK has slightly pulled back to $0.0000357, but its market cap is still impressive at $2.89 billion.

With institutional attention growing and key resistance at $0.00004676 in sight, bulls see further upside if market sentiment remains positive

Pudgy Penguins ($PENGU): NFT to Token Superstar

Pudgy Penguins’ token, $PENGU, is also making waves. It has soared nearly 229% in just one month, and 43.5% in a week, crushing $XRP’s performance over the same period. Trading volume peaked at $1.18 billion in 24 hours, showing strong market excitement.

If $PENGU holds support between $0.025–$0.027, analysts believe it could rally toward $0.033–$0.040 soon.

Other Coins In The Race

Other coins like Hedera (HBAR) and Algorand (ALGO) are also gaining over 40%, but none can match Stellar’s explosive move. For now, $XRP may have the hype, but if $XLM keeps this pace, it could become the true star of the show.

For now, $XRP may have the spotlight for its breakout, but if Stellar keeps this pace, it could soon become the real star of the show.
