3 altcoins for potential 10x gains: iDEGEN, Dogecoin, XRP
Crypto’s total market cap is at $3.67 trillion as extreme greed defines the sentiment in the market. Even with the current profit-taking mood, BTC’s rally past the psychologically crucial zone of $100,000 has sustained the bullish trend across the major coins and meme coins.
Beyond the Bitcoin-led rallying, XRP’s increased use in cross-border transactions and Dogecoin’s online community have them set to reach the $3 and $5 mark respectively. Besides, there is a new entrant taking over the crypto space by storm. iDEGEN, which is leveraging on the power of AI and social media, offers investors an opportunity to profit from its virality.
XRP charges towards the $3 mark
In the just concluded week, Ripple price edged closer to its multi-year high of $3 as it traded in the green for five consecutive weeks. It has overtaken Solana and Tether to become the third largest crypto by means of market cap as seen on CoinMarketCap. Over the past 7 days, its price has been up by 34.8%.
Notably, reports that President Donald Trump plans to shift regulatory powers from SEC to CFTC has boosted the crypto. These reports, coupled with the fading impact of SEC’s lawsuit on XRP have benefited the cryptocurrency.
Besides, Ripple’s demand has continued to rise as it partners with various financial institutions for use in cross-border transactions. While it has since pulled back from its 7-year high, the bulls remain in control and are set to ride on these catalysts to the $3 mark.
iDEGEN’s immense potential lies in its uniqueness
As AI agents steadily and aggressively take over the cryptocurrency space, one of the projects on savvy investors’ radar is iDEGEN. Indeed, its uniqueness has earned it a top spot on the list of meme coins to consider when building a profitable crypto portfolio in 2026.
One of iDEGEN’s features that have captured investors’ attention is its unique approach to community engagement. While it has no guard rails, the AI agent posts on Crypto Twitter every 60 minutes.
Through the power of artificial intelligence, it learns from every comment, tweet, or interaction availed to it by crypto degens. This means that social media is at the core of its development. It is this community that has birthed a huge buzz around the crypto project and a growing number of investors are keen on accumulating some tokens before its value skyrockets.
Additionally, its unique, high-successful presale model has highlighted the project’s huge potential. As opposed to the usual static presales adopted by mostar crypto projects, iDEGEN has used the route of a dynamic auction.
To attract more investors, the price of $IDGN tokens changes every 5 minutes depending on the market activity. If an investor buys some tokens within this time frame, the price stays unchanged during the next 5-minutes period. However, purchases in two two consecutive intervals prompts the price to surge by 5%. On the other hand, absence of a purchase within five minutes leads to a price decline of 5%.
This unconventional approach has been very successful; raising over $3.26 million with more than 617 million $IDGN tokens being sold. As at the time of writing, the price stood at $0.00399.
The auction, which was launched on 26th November 2024 is set to end in January 2025 before being listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges. As such, investors looking to jump onto this unique opportunity still have time to purchase some $IDGN tokens before it hits the public shelves. You can buy the iDEGEN token here.
Dogecoin’s 3-year high in focus
What began as a joke in 2013 has grown into one of the top ten cryptocurrencies with a market cap of $68.34 billion. Notably, it uses a simplified algorithm as rides on its popularity on social networks rather than the concept of scarcity.
In fact, it has no supply limit; with an additional 10,000 coins mined per minutes. Even so, its online community, led by Elon Musk, has pushed its value up by about 260% since 2021 when its popularity soared.
Over a span of one month, its price has risen by close to 150% with its price soaring from $0.29 to $0.46 as at the time of writing. As the meme coin continues to trade above the 20 and 50-day EMAs, the current bullish trend is set to continue with its three-year high of $0.50 in focus.

Bitcoin Price Regains Traction
Bitcoin price started a decent upward move above the $102,500 zone. BTC was able to climb above the $103,500 and $104,000 levels.
The bulls even pushed the price above the $105,000 level. Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $104,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Bitcoin price is now trading above $104,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $107,000 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $109,112 swing high to the $100,114 low.
The first key resistance is near the $107,500 level. A clear move above the $107,500 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance could be $109,000.

AI tokens surged on Wednesday after President Donald Trump unveiled a new joint venture to invest up to $500 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The partnership involves major players such as OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank and will form a new entity called Stargate.
Market Focuses on AI Coins as Trump’s Stargate Initiative Gains Traction
The Stargate Project will invest $500 billion over the next four years, building new AI infrastructure in the US. The venture will focus on developing crucial data centers and the electricity generation required to power the AI sector.
The announcement has already had a noticeable impact on the broader market, particularly in AI-related cryptocurrencies. Following the news, the market capitalization of AI tokens surged by 9%, reaching $45.83 billion at press time, according to CoinGecko.
In fact, the market cap of AI agent tokens alone rose by 13% to hit $14.9 billion.
AI agent tokens, such as Virtuals Protocol, AIXBT, and AI16Z, saw impressive gains. Virtuals Protocol rose by over 13% in the past 24 hours, while AI16Z experienced a remarkable 36% increase. AIXBT token rose by 27% over the same period.
The surge in AI tokens reflects a broader shift in market interest as investors move capital towards more “sentient” tokens.
“Capital is rotating back from static memes to sentient coins,” AI researcher S4mmy commented on Twitter.
The analyst added that Fartcoin and AIXBT are sustaining their “mindshare dominance,” but face declining market caps after a heated run. Commenting on Virtuals Protocol, he said it continues to solidify its position as a backbone of the Agentic infrastructure.
Moreover, analyst CyrilXBT said he believes “AI will create generational wealth in 2025.”
“People said Bitcoin was a joke. People said AI agents are a gimmick. Guess what else they’ll say? ‘Why didn’t I listen when generational wealth was staring me in the face?,” CyrilXBT commented.
The shift towards AI is particularly interesting, given the trend of investments a few days back. Capital was flowing into Donald Trump-related tokens, such as TRUMP and MELANIA, which have seen significant volatility.
However, BeInCrypto reported that smart money traders are now focusing on AI tokens after the hype around TRUMP faded. According to data from Nansen, a substantial amount of VIRTUAL, FARTCOIN, and AIXBT tokens are held by smart money.

Ethereum price is now trading above $3,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $3,350 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,445 swing high to the $3,203 low.
There is also a key contracting triangle forming with resistance at $3,355 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The first major resistance is near the $3,400 level. The main resistance is now forming near $3,445.
A clear move above the $3,445 resistance might send the price toward the $3,550 resistance. An upside break above the $3,550 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,650 resistance zone or even $3,720 in the near term.
