A prominent crypto expert has tipped XRP to hit $5 this month but believes new altcoin Solaxy could give 10x gains.
Both cryptos are focused on fast and efficient transactional throughput, but Solaxy’s low market cap, smart contract functionality, and links to Solana may give it the edge in percentile points gains.
ClayBro Says XRP to Breakout After “Stagnation” Period
Market jitters put an end to XRP’s blazing rally in January, but recent momentum indicates the bull run is back.
ClayBro notes that after XRP tapped lows of $1.79 in early April, it has reclaimed the $2 mark and now appears bullish again. Losing $2 stoked concern within the XRP community, since a core bullish narrative was that XRP held this level even while other top cryptos such as Bitcoin and Ethereum lost key structural levels in early 2025.
However, bulls wasted no time in reclaiming $2, crushing the dreams of sidelined opportunists who hoped to buy in closer to $1.
Currently, XRP trades at $2.17, and ClayBro says analysts’ consensus is that this could lead to a $5 price tag in the near future.
He believes one reason that XRP could rally is that the SEC recently dropped its lawsuit against Ripple Labs, providing regulatory clarity and removing a strong deterrent that stopped many traders from buying into the project.
As bull market conditions resume, this could attract disproportionate demand for XRP, causing its price to rise more rapidly.
He also notes that XRP whales have accumulated an additional 200 million XRP over the last week, showing strong optimism among sophisticated traders.
With all of that in mind, ClayBro says that XRP hitting $5 is “absolutely doable.”
He notes that this would translate to approximately a $250 billion valuation. And he says that as XRP veers towards this substantial valuation, it will also mark a period in which alternative utility coins also see massive capital inflows.
The project he points to for the strongest gains is Solaxy, the world’s first Solana layer 2 blockchain.
Solaxy Tipped to 10X on Immense Presale Success
Solaxy is building a Solana layer 2 blockchain to tackle the network’s pressing congestion issue. It will use rollup technology and off-chain computation to offer cheaper, faster, and more reliable transactional throughput.
While Solana can compute 6,500 transactions per second (TPS), Solaxy aims to process 10,000 TPS, marking a breakthrough in blockchain scalability.
The project aims to make Solana operate flawlessly, even in periods of peak network activity. This will enable further adoption and the advent of new use cases.
Investors are excited about its potential. The Solaxy presale has raised $33 million so far, which is more than any other Solana presale in history.
So, given its presale momentum and strong use case, experts are bracing for huge gains. ClayBro says he has been buying into the presale and anticipates a 10x once it lists on the open market.
He notes that Solaxy’s position as a “first mover” in the Solana layer 2 space presents a “major opportunity,” and suggests that participating in the presale while the price is cheap could prove a smart move.
However, price increases will occur throughout the Solana presale, so potential investors should act quickly.
