Next Big Crypto as Trump Issues Crypto Executive Order
Turns out Trump’s promise to make crypto a national priority wasn’t empty talk.
Yesterday, he signed the first crypto executive order that outlines several big commitments:
- To stop persecution of companies and individuals for engaging in any lawful crypto activities
- To support the development of dollar-backed stablecoins
- To roll out clear digital assets regulations that would drive innovation
- To halt the creation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)
Trump also established the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, led by the AI and crypto czar David Sacks.
The Working Group’s agenda includes evaluating the possibility of creating a ‘national digital asset stockpile.’ Notice how it doesn’t mention $BTC, so we might see altcoins like $ETH, $XRP, or $AAVE in the mix.
The cherry on top? The SEC scrapped the anti-crypto SAB 121 bill that enforced strict accounting standards on crypto firms.
The bottom line is that crypto has a bright future ahead, so now is the right time to grow your portfolio.
Here’s our educated guess at the next big crypto with a potential for 100X returns.
1. MIND of Pepe ($MIND) Offers Trading Insights Free From Human Bias
Trump expects AI to be his golden goose this year, as evident from his recent $500B investment into Stargate, a joint venture of OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank.
For the crypto community, this means one thing – invest in AI tokens.
MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is one of the best early-stage AI agent tokens that’s rapidly gaining momentum. The project swooped in $3.4M in its first two weeks on presale. One $MIND now costs $0.0031889, but the price will increase tomorrow.
$MIND is an autonomous agent that analyzes market data to deliver its token holders exclusive insights. It can also engage in conversations and launch its own tokens, which will be only available to early adopters.
And since $MIND is free from human bias, its trading advice should theoretically be more effective. With no fear or greed to cloud its judgment, $MIND could identify and capitalize on market trends with great precision.
2. Meme Index ($MEMEX) Offers Safe Exposure to the $21B Meme Coin Market
Meme coins are another sector that’s likely to flourish under Trump’s administration. The tricky part is finding meme coins that will explode.
Meme Index ($MEMEX) simplifies this with four baskets that cater to different risk appetites. Essentially, you invest in eight meme coins instead of one to spread the risk and offset potential losses.
True degens will favor the Frenzy index, which features new tokens that might rival the heavyweights. If you prefer to play it safe, pick the Titan index with established coins like $DOGE, $SHIB, and $PEPE.
One $MEMEX costs $0.0154693, and early supporters have bought $2.8M worth of tokens so far.
First-movers have two advantages: an 826% staking APY and governance rights. $MEMEX holders can vote on decisions regarding new features, community initiatives, and basket content. If you’d like to get in early, you can find more information in our Meme Index price prediction and how-to-buy $MEMEX guide.
3. Virtuals Protocol ($VIRTUAL) Rides the AI Agent Wave with 23 of the Top 100 Tokens on Board
Virtuals Protocol ($VIRTUAL) has one advantage over other AI tokens: it’s an AI agent launchpad. Twenty-three of the top 100 AI agent tokens run on Virtuals, including $AIXBT, $GAME, $SEKOIA, and $FREYA.
The logic is simple: as long as the AI agent frenzy continues and users launch their own tokens, the demand for $VIRTUAL will grow. Even if most of these tokens sink, their issuers must buy some $VIRTUAL to get started.
$VIRTUAL has grown 26,009% since its launch in December 2023 and became the second-largest AI agent token by market cap, right after $FET.
The token dropped to $2.63 from its all-time high (ATH) of $5.07 recorded on January 2. However, this dip presents an appealing buying opportunity as $VIRTUAL is likely to see more upside in 2025.
4. XDC Network ($XDC) to Lead Enterprise Crypto Adoption
XDC Network integrates public and private blockchains to digitize and streamline business processes and software development. It can automate letters of credit, cross-border payments, and data management, among everything else.
The ecosystem’s native token, $XDC, is now actively recovering from the bear market of 2023. On January 16, it reached $0.16, just 18% away from its 2021 ATH of $0.19, but has since dipped to $0.11.
On top of that, XDC Networks’s TVL (Total Value Locked) hit a record $38.25M last week. This indicates a surge in institutional adoption of XDC Network-based protocols.
With the new presidential administration’s pro-crypto stance, we can expect even more companies to integrate blockchain into their processes, which would drive $XDC’s growth.
January 23 – Future National Crypto Day?
The crypto market has come a long way, and January 23 might very well become National Crypto Day in the US.
We expect Trump’s crypto executive order to promote innovation, drive blockchain adoption, and fuel a broader bull run in 2025.
However, we remind you that favorable market conditions don’t guarantee the success of individual projects. DYOR, diversify your portfolio and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Solana’s demand has surged even more than it already is when Donald’s Trump TRUMP launched on the chain and rumors of plans to open a SOL-based strategic reserve started circling around.
Already up by 10% already, the word on the crypto space is that it can potentially climb higher. While investors have been jumping into SOL thanks to its rising popularity, a brand-new token presale called Nebula Stride also seems to have gained major traction.
What is Solana’s Next Price Target?
Solana has finally managed an all-time high of about $258 with its latest pump. Even though the token was trading at the $256 level in November 2024, the market’s volatility pushed it down to the $190 level, often. And when the market grew immensely volatile, the drop pushed it even lower.
However, in a single month, it has managed to jump from about $195 to more than $284, with the recent price range being around $270 after a slight correction. Since it has just broken its highest-ever price range, SOL is likely to go into what is called a price discovery mode.
In this phase, the price of Solana is likely to explore a new price range depending on the dynamics of market demand and supply. During this price discovery mode, Solana’s price could likely experience heightened volatility as traders and investors attempt to establish a new fair value, which is likely to be higher than the current price range.
With no historical resistance above the previous ATH, upward momentum may be fueled by FOMO and increased buying pressure from retail and institutional investors. However, there is also a chance of profit-taking, likely by early holders, which could potentially create intermittent corrections.
To gauge the growth potential, one may look at indicators in the short term. These key indicators may include trading volume, market sentiment, and any developments related to Solana’s ecosystem or partnerships. If the bullish trend sustains, Solana might test the $300-$350 range in the short term, with further growth contingent on broader market conditions, especially among the high market cap projects.
But Why is Solana Pumping?
Solana is gradually becoming the most used blockchain, and the rise of meme coins within its ecosystem attest to that fact. BONK, for example, drew eyes towards Solana, and other tokens followed soon.
And when the current US president, Donald Trump, announced his plans to add Solana, alongside XRP, to the US strategic reserve, things took a turn for the better. Although it is only a “maybe” right now, that’s enough for the people to support SOL.
The market as a whole has been enjoying an increase in value as well. However, Solana’s growth is more evident among the large-cap cryptos and is likely to sustain the current uptrend in the days to come, as long as positive developments and announcements keep coming in.
Nebula Stride’s Is Generating A Lot of Buzz Right Now
Every time a bull market arrives, investors start hunting for projects that could give big gains from early on. For instance, projects like Sui or Aptos, which, along with strong utility, incentivized users with massive airdrops. The latest addition to this trend might be Nebula Stride, a presale that has caught the attention of the investing citizenry globally through its innovative tech-centric concept and a whopping $1 million giveaway.
Nebula Stride is a presale project that aims to completely transform the financial space by allowing individuals to manage their finances freely. It aims to do so by creating an ecosystem that is fully powered by blockchain and decentralized.
💥The DeFi revolution starts with NebulaStride!
NebulaStride is currently pre-selling the NST token, and it will be the foundation of the future ecosystem. The main goal of the project is to create a space where the real economy and decentralized technologies will merge, opening… pic.twitter.com/UCjPAsf7HW
— NebulaStride (@NebulaStridePr) January 14, 2025
Think of it as a step up from the traditional banking world, where one can have free access to highly rewarding farming, staking bonuses, and referral functionalities. Its native token, NST, shall serve as the focal point of the ecosystem, as it could be used to make transactions, participate in staking, vote on key platform development issues, and earn privileges within the rewards system.
This multifunctionality of the native token will be what makes it the most important component of the project, facilitating user interaction within the platform.
The giveaway is also set to be massive, where participants who invest at least 100 USDT in NST tokens shall be eligible to potentially win 10,000 USDT. The amount is set to be received by 100 lucky winners, making the NST giveaway one of the biggest in the space recently. Still in its first presale stage, investors have been hurrying to stock up on the tokens as much as they can before the price starts increasing from its current $0.025 level.
While Solana is set to see further growth, projects like Nebula Stride may also likely go viral, given their smaller market caps and potential to 10x or even 100x in value in the coming weeks.

The XRP price is targeting a rally to as high as $10, following another crucial breakout for the crypto. Analyst Javon Marks provided insights into XRP’s current price action and why it could record this parabolic rally.
XRP Price Targets $10 Following Crucial Breakout
In an X post, crypto analyst Javon Marks indicated that the XRP price is targeting a rally to $10 following a crucial breakout. According to Marks, XRP’s 9-hour chart looks to have displayed another breakout. He added that this could spark a continuation towards the $10 levels.
The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that XRP was breaking out of a bull pennant at the $3.18 resistance level. The chart also showed that XRP witnessed a significant rally the last time it broke out from this bull pennant towards the end of last year.
Based on technical analysis, XRP looks to boast a very bullish outlook, which could spark massive rallies for the crypto. Analyst Mikybull Crypto recently predicted that Ripple’s native coin could record a price surge to $8. He explained that this could happen because of the current bullish fundamentals.
In a more recent X post, the analyst reaffirmed his bullish stance for XRP. He shared an accompanying chart that showed that the coin was ready for a massive move to the upside.
Analyzing The XRP/BTC Chart
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto provided an in-depth XRP price chart analysis against its Bitcoin pair. While analyzing the weekly chart, he noted that Ripple’s native crypto is less than three days away from the weekly close. The analyst remarked that a full-body candle close above the blue line he highlighted on the chart could lead to a parabolic rally for XRP.
He went on to analyze the 3-day chart, noting that all three previous body candles closed above the blue line, indicating strong bullish momentum. He added that the XRP price is also recording long-legged candles, which typically suggest bullish sentiment in the market. These long-legged candles are said to signify that the bulls are scooping up opportunities and winning the struggle against the bears.
On the 12-hour time frame, Egrag Crypto stated that XRP is forming a descending channel against the Bitcoin price, which he noted is typically bullish. The analyst added that a breakout is likely, with the odds favoring an upward movement.
In line with this, the analyst highlighted XRP price breakout scenarios. In the case of an upside breakout, he remarked that a move above the upper trendline could lead to significant gains. An upside breakout looks more likely as Egrag Crypto noted that approximately 70% of the time, descending channels break to the upside.
Meanwhile, in the case of a downside breakout, the analyst warned that XRP falling below the lower trendline may trigger a downward trend. He told market participants to watch for increased trading volume, often accompanying breakouts. According to him, around 30% of the time, the price breaks to the downside in such cases.
What To Watch Next For Ripple’s Native Crypto
In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades highlighted the next levels to watch for the XRP price. She mentioned the $3.24 price level, noting that this critical .118 level failed to hold, and it’s an important price to reclaim.
The second price she highlighted is $3.32, noting that the top trendline would likely be resistance over the weekend. To confirm the move to the wave 5 target at $3.80, CasiTrades stated that the XRP price needs a clean break above $3.32 with strong momentum to flip this level into support.
In the meantime, XRP continues to consolidate within the triangle she highlighted on her chart. The crypto analyst remarked that the crypto is respecting the triangle consolidation pattern and is holding firm.

The new US SEC team under Donald Trump’s leadership has revoked SAB 121, a crypto account regulation that has required financial entities to treat crypto holdings as liabilities on their balance sheets since March 2022.
Because this shines a light on Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens might be the next cryptocurrency to explode.
SAB 121’s closing is a big deal as it’ll likely spur more TradFi companies to explore DeFi. Partly owing to Ethereum having the most significant TVL at $67.387B, an analyst predicts it will reach $7K.
Another factor pushing Ethereum coins forward is Etherealize, an Ethereum Foundation-backed marketing firm that educates institutions on the network.
Such news, combined with $ETH spiking by 6.5% since yesterday, suggests a thriving future for both $ETH and ERC-20 tokens, like $WEPE, $MIND, and $MEMEX.
1. Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) – Insider Information for Crypto Degens
Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) is a frog coin that’s on a mission to capitalize on Pepe’s $6.5B market cap. However, unlike its predecessor, it has real-world utility: exclusive trading insights for degens.
By offering small crypto investors trading tactics of the Wolf of Wall Street, $WEPE aims to help them out-trade crypto whales, which manipulate the market for selfish gain.
Beyond receiving game-changing strategies, $WEPE holders can share their own fruitful ones, for which they receive rewards. About 15% of the project’s total token supply is strategically set aside for this.
More $WEPE can also be won through staking, and 12% of the total supply goes toward it.
Considering $WEPE’s price has already increased by 83.25% from $0.00020000 to $0.0003665 and that we predict its price to reach $0.0013 (a 254.71% rise) by this year’s end, there’s no better time to buy the coin on presale than the present.
2. MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – AI Agent Dishing Out Crypto Trading Tactics
MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is another frog coin building on Pepe’s achievements. In just 48 hours of going on presale, it surpassed $1.8M.
Albeit similar to $WEPE in the sense that it also grants token holders exclusive trading insights, it differentiates itself by leveraging AI.
The AI agent token scans crypto Twitter (X) to find out what’s hot and what’s not in the crypto realm. It then shares its findings with token holders, helping them gain a competitive edge in the blockchain market, which is forecasted to reach a whopping $1,000T by 2032.
Early adopters can gain exclusive insights into the ever-expanding Web3 market by purchasing $MIND on presale (currently for just $0.0031889) and through staking, with a current 626% APY.
Its staking initiative and the 20% $WEPE allocations to marketing and 30% to development also boost its sustainability, contributing to its high chance of long-term success.
3. Meme Index ($MEMEX) – Meme Indexes Catering to All Risk Appetites
Meme Index ($MEMEX) is another attractive Ethereum-based investment that aggregates industry-wide exposure into four curated meme coin indexes.
The meme coin baskets range from low to high volatility, giving holders the chance to access ones that suit their investment needs.
For instance, Titan offers insights on the top ten meme coins with the greatest market caps, which are less risky because of their high demand.
On the other hand, the Meme Frenzy Index highlights the most high-risk investment options with significant returns.
The Meme Index you pick really depends on where your risk tolerance lies.
Besides its dynamic baskets, $MEMEX is a governance token, which allows token holders to have a say on the Meme Index ecosystem’s future path. They can vote on meme coins to be included in the baskets and on future developments to bring the coin to rosy pursuits.
It also has an attractive staking incentive, with a commendable 821% APY granting stakers passive income every three years.
Plus, security-conscious investors can rest easy. The smart contracts of these governance and staking functions are fully audited to ensure a secure and transparent experience.
$MEMEX could be the next coin to 100x. This is especially true when considering that it’s straightforward to buy on presale (currently at $0.0155312). We predict it could reach $1.75 by 2030.
4. Onyxcoin ($XCN) – Help Build DeFi Services From the Ground Up
$XCN is the backbone of Onyx Core, a blockchain infrastructure that helps build DeFi services from start to finish on the Ethereum blockchain.
Ultimately, it enables developers and businesses to launch and operate their own networks so they can move digital assets worldwide in a breeze.
What makes it stand out further is its compatibility with other independent networks and digital assets, leveraging each of their benefits to modernize TradFi systems.
$XCN has three major roles in the ecosystem. First, it’s a governance token, giving token holders a say in its future direction. Second, it’s used to pay for Onxy and Chain.com’s services.
Last but not least, it can be staked with a 30.62% APY – $50.89M has already been staked.
The coin’s use cases have supported its uptrend. Since last week, it has jumped by 205%, bringing its price to $0.02319.
5. Ondo ($ONDO) – Vote on a DeFi Protocol’s Financial Tools
The next cryptocurrency to explode could be $ONDO, a governance token that enables holders to vote on how its DeFi protocol leverages top-not financial tools.
Some of the tools and services that Ondo supplies include:
- Liquidity pools that grant users passive income and stabilize the platform
- Crypto loans with fixed rates to help minimize profit loss during market volatility
- Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), making equities and bonds easily accessible in the DeFi industry.
When taking into account that the RWA market is predicted to hit $30T by 2030, $ONDO is a great entry point to benefit from the upswing.
The coin is valued at $1.51, and its market cap has increased by 16.5% since yesterday to $4.75B.
Each of these tokens benefits from Ethereum’s expansive smart contract capabilities and DeFi applications.
ERC-20 Tokens Might Be the Next Cryptocurrencies to Explode
As $ETH adoption increases, partly due to the SAB 121 coming to an end and Etherealize’s learning materials, ERC-20 tokens might be the next cryptocurrencies to explode because they leverage the network’s benefits (smart contracts, DeFi, scalability, digital ownership).
The coins we discussed offer low-cap entries into the thriving Ethereum ecosystem for less than a fraction of the price.
However, remember that this isn’t financial advice. You must always do your own research before investing in crypto and be willing to lose the amount you spend.
