- Solana, XRP, PENGU, LINK and SUI all rallied on ETF chatter, legal wins, NFT utilities, oracle trials and GameFi deals.
- SOL broke $148 resistance amid BlackRock ETF rumors and Robinhood futures, targeting $160–$170 range on rising volume.
The digital asset market is showing a mix of upward pressure and tactical repositioning this weekend, with five alternative cryptocurrencies drawing attention due to recent price activity and confirmed updates from corporate, legal, and trading sectors.
Solana (SOL) has climbed to $150.65, recording a 6.41% increase in 24 hours. This movement follows discussions around a potential ETF application involving BlackRock and new derivative offerings from Robinhood.
Trading volume has grown, especially in Solana-based meme tokens and decentralized finance tools. A confirmed break above $148 has shifted technical sentiment, and some traders are now watching the $160 to $170 range for short-term positioning.
In parallel, XRP is trading at $2.19, up 5.31% over the last day. XRP after Ripple formally ended its cross-appeal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The decision closes a legal process that started in 2020. On-chain data and price tracking tools show rising demand.
Short-term projections from technical analysts point toward $2.30 and $2.60, citing discussion around potential use in cross-border transactions and integration with central bank digital currency pilot systems.
PENGU, a token derived from the Pudgy Penguins NFT project, has surged 24.0% to $0.01269. The rise follows new features tied to NFT utility, as well as fresh listings on decentralized exchanges using Solana.
Influencer marketing and token farming strategies have contributed to its visibility. ETHNews analysts point out that the pattern resembles previous memecoin ETF activity, where high engagement often leads to rapid speculative inflows and corrections.
Meanwhile, Chainlink (LINK) has moved up 3.42% to $13.33. The token is tied to infrastructure development involving data transfer between blockchains and traditional systems. This week, Chainlink was linked to new trials involving the digitalization of real-world assets.
Firms including BlackRock and Citi have shown interest in such models, potentially applying LINK’s oracle protocols to connect financial records and asset classes. On-chain data confirms increased wallet activity over the past five days.
Finally, Sui (SUI), priced at $2.77, has gained 2.21% in the past 24 hours. Growth in this case appears related to announcements involving decentralized games and Web3 software partnerships.
Developers are deploying applications that rely on Sui’s fee efficiency and transaction speed. While weekly charts show a 6.3% increase, ETHNews analysts caution that real user growth, not just token demand, will determine sustainability.
