Solana-based GRASS Token Rallies 125% In Three Days of Launch, Here’s Why
Solana-based decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) Project Grass has been gaining massive traction recently with the GRASS token airdrop happening earlier this week on October 28. the governance token GRASS has gained massive traction with a staggering 125% happening just over the past three days.
What’s Behind the GRASS Price Rally?
As of press time, the GRASS price is trading 60% up at $1.82 with its market cap soaring to $450 million and daily trading volumes shooting past $400 million and is among the trending cryptocurrencies for this week. Interestingly, the GRASS token airdrop earlier this week turned out to be the largest within the Solana ecosystem with nearly 1.5 million addresses claiming the governance token.
Prior to this, the popular decentralized exchange Jupiter held the record for the largest Solana airdrop with nearly 639,000 users claiming the tokens. During the initial distribution of the GRASS token on Monday, October 28, it led to an outage on Solana’s largest wallet Phantom.
Over 2.8 million wallets are eligible to receive GRASS tokens, the governance token for the Solana-based DePin project, as they connected within the required timeframe.
One of the major reasons behind this current GRASS price rally has been the growing expectation of listing on Tier-1 exchanges. On the other hand, the futures open interest for the governance token per the Coinglass data has surged by 73% to $90.33 million. Also, the daily trading volume for GRAS futures has surged by 146% to $1.30 billion.
More Understanding About the Solana-based DePIN Project
Grass is one of its one-of-a-kind DePIN projects featuring an open internet-scale web crawl that scrapes and validates data to train AI bots. Millions of users have already downloaded its browser extension and mobile app that collects and cleans the website data while receiving GRASS tokens as rewards. Andrej Radonjic, CEO of Wynd Labs, a core contributor to Grass, said:
“Historically, your bandwidth has been stolen from you by companies that pay developers to sneak software into your free apps. They then turn around and allow F500’s and AI companies to use your device to scrape valuable web data. Today marks the first time ever that users are receiving network ownership for sharing their bandwidth. This bucks a 20+ year trend in an industry that has been reliant on extractive incentive structures”.
The GRASS token will also serve for staking on the protocol, enabling “web traffic flow through the network” and covering bandwidth costs.
Strong Market Momentum Supporting the GRASS Token Rally
Driven by several market shifts, the GRASS token has experienced impressive growth over recent days. Some of the supporting factors for this rally include:
- Rising Bullish TGEs: Token Generation Events (TGEs) are regaining popularity, showing a robust market interest.
- Utility Over Memes: Investor focus is shifting from meme coins to utility tokens, with GRASS capturing significant attention.
- DePIN Sector Dominance: DePIN remains a leading vertical, underscoring the market’s sustained interest in decentralized physical infrastructure.
- Evolving Tokenomics: The trend of low-float, high-FDV models is pivoting towards larger initial unlocks—25% in the case of GRASS—a strategy that has proven effective.
- High Volume Without Binance: Despite not being listed on Binance, GRASS hit nearly $500 million in volume, indicating strong demand.
- Valuation Strategy: Initially pegged at a $600 million valuation, the decision to start lower and allow community gains has paid off, boosting momentum.

The Dogecoin price has entered another stage of bullish momentum that has reignited inflows from traders. Notably, the DOGE price has surged by about 16.3% over the past 24 hours. This surge has brought into focus the possibility of the DOGE price reaching a new all-time high this year.
Interestingly, a crypto analyst on the social media platform X has highlighted a bullish fractal that could push the Dogecoin price on a parabolic run.
Dogecoin Fractal Points To New ATH
Master Kenobi shared his analysis of the Dogecoin price action on X. In his post, Kenobi outlined a fractal setup, suggesting that DOGE is on the verge of a significant breakout. Kenobi attributed the fractal formation to the consolidation that began after the DOGE price reached $0.43
A bullish fractal is a pattern that suggests an upward reversal in price. This pattern, which occurs during price consolidations, is characterized by a middle bar that has the lowest low, flanked by higher lows on each side.
Kenobi’s analysis was accompanied by a DOGE chart on the four-hour candlestick timeframe. The chart revealed that a similar fractal had occurred during the first week of November. At that time, Dogecoin was consolidating after an initial surge past the $0.20 mark. This consolidation phase, much like the current one, was marked by low volatility and steady accumulation. However, the November fractal ultimately resolved with an explosive 115% rally over six days.
Drawing parallels with the November setup, Kenobi predicted that the Dogecoin price could replicate this outcome and create a new all-time high in the next three days. In terms of a price target, a breakout would see the DOGE price reaching the $0.74 mark, which would put it above its current all-time high of $0.7316.
What’s Next For The Dogecoin Price?
The prospect of a new all-time high for the Dogecoin price is gaining ground with each passing day, especially with the price action in the past 24 hours. At the time of the analysis, the DOGE price was trading at $0.41. Interestingly, the Dogecoin price has surged to $0.46 at the time of writing, which indicates that the bullish fractal breakout has happened.
DOGE, which started November at $0.1616, is already up by about 230% in the past 30 days. Many on-chain data and price patterns point to a continued price increase, at least in the next few days and weeks. Ali Martinez, a popular crypto analyst, suggested that the Dogecoin price is in the middle of a bullish breakout to $0.82. If the price target is achieved, this would represent a further 78% gain from the current price.

The crypto universe has concluded yet another week, primarily with riveting developments unfolding across the broader sector. Bitcoin (BTC) continues to pump, hitting a new ATH this week. Simultaneously, Ripple’s XRP garnered significant market attention, recording considerable gains. The broader market continues to leverage investor optimism post-U.S. elections that saw Donald Trump reelected as the president.
Here’s a brief collection of some of the top cryptocurrency market headlines that have significantly impacted investor sentiment over the past seven days.
BTC Hits New ATH Amid Bull Crypto Market
BTC price hit a new ATH near the $100K level this week, echoing a buzz across the broader sector. Notably, the flagship coin gained roughly 10% over the past week to hit an ATH of $99,655. Attributable to this bullish movement post-U.S. elections, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki shared a bold prediction for the coin, anticipating its price to hit $13 million.
Simultaneously, the crypto also saw heightened institutional interest amid its bullish movement, underscoring the potential for further gains. Aligning with this heightened market interest, biopharmaceutical firm Hoth Therapeutics forged ahead with BTC buying plans, sparking additional optimism surrounding the crypto.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin miner MARA completed its $1 billion private offering this week, with some of the proceeds set to be used to buy more BTC. Overall, the flagship coin leveraged significant buying pressure this week, paving a bullish path for future movements.
Ripple’s XRP Steals Attention
On the other hand, XRP’s price witnessed gains worth 40% over the past week, cementing investor optimism amid a bullish digital asset sector. Notably, XRP whales accumulated nearly $526M worth of the token this week, indicating that the Ripple-backed coin could pump higher. Veteran trader Peter Brandt predicted amid this bullish movement that a parabolic rally for the crypto also lies ahead.
Further, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse conveyed bullish sentiments on XRP and a possible end to the SEC lawsuit, primarily attributable to the newly appointed U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Simultaneously, the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit saw the regulator and FINRA trying to bring “digital asset securities” claims. This mover comes against the backdrop of XRP’s rally to $1, with speculations of a looming $2 target on SEC Chair Garu Gensler’s exit.
Overall, these market updates have sparked significant investor enthusiasm over the crypto realm’s future action, with market watchers being optimistic.

Crypto analyst Behdark has predicted that the XRP price can reach $28. This prediction follows his Elliot Wave theory analysis, which also showed when the crypto will reach this double-digit price target.
When XRP Price Will Reach Double Digits
In a TradingView post, Behdark’s Elliot Wave theory analysis showed that the XRP price can reach double digits by 2026. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the first double digits target for XRP will be $15, after which the crypto could eventually rally to $28. Behdark also provided more insights into XRP’s current price action and why this rally could happen.
First, the analyst mentioned that the XRP price looks to be currently within a running triangle. In line with this, Behdark remarked that wave D might complete its movement by hunting the all-time high (ATH) at $3.84. He mentioned that there could be a price correction for wave E afterward.
Once that XRP price correction happens, Behdrak predicts the next move will be the post-pattern movement targeting a level above $15. This is where the price target of $28 comes into the picture, as the analyst’s accompanying chart shows it is a feasible target for the crypto, although it might not happen in this market cycle.
An XRP price rally to $28 would mean that the crypto would have a market cap of $2.8 trillion. However, Behdrak suggested that this was still feasible. He noted that his focus was on chart analysis and not fundamentals, even though fundamentals are reflected in the chart itself.
Meanwhile, the analyst told market participants that if a clear and identifiable pattern emerges when the XRP price reaches wave E of the triangle, they could position themselves for the main move to double digits.
A Confirmation Of This Double Digit Target
Crypto analyst Dark Defender also recently shared an Elliot Wave theory analysis, which showed that the XRP price could indeed reach double digits. Specifically, the analyst’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could rally as high as $18 when the wave 5 impulsive move occurs.
Interestingly, unlike Behdark’s chart, which showed that the rally to double digits would happen in 2026, Dark Defender’s chart showed that the rally to $18 could happen as early as mid-2025. Meanwhile, the analyst said that the XRP price is currently in the third wave, with the crypto expected to rally to $5 when this next impulsive move occurs.
Afterward, the XRP price is expected to witness a corrective move that will cause it to drop to as low as $4. The next impulsive move after this could send XRP to the $18 target.
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.55, up over 10% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
