XRP trades at $1.38 after losing the $1.40 support level, despite momentum from the CLARITY Act clearing the Senate Banking Committee. Ethereum trades at $2,119, and Solana trades at $84 after losing the $90 support level. Investors want to know which token could reach 10x first, based on historical performance during major bull cycles and responses to key catalysts.
