Tron CEO: XRP Surge Signals Blockchain Adoption
Following the recent XRP price surge, Tron CEO Justin Sun stated that he believes that the new situation might indicate blockchain adoption by financial institutions. A recent Ripple news regarding XRP price surge has brought the third largest coin by market cap back into the center of attention in the crypto world. So much so, in fact, that numerous crypto experts have started viewing it as an indicator of big events to come.
TRON CEO Justin Sun announced recently via Twitter that the price surge might mean that banks and other financial institutions might be getting ready to adopt blockchain technology. The excitement around Ripple products would certainly indicate so as well.
Tron CEO Justin Sun expects financial institutions to adopt blockchain
Only days ago, Ripple news regarding the coin’s price surge erupted, and everyone’s attention was turned toward the world’s third-largest coin. The price surge was easily the biggest one since January, and Ripple skyrocketed by over 181% in days between September 18th and 21st.
Not only that, but XRP also managed to surpass Ethereum, and take over its position as the second-largest, several times. Ethereum quickly regained its position, however, but this is still more than a noteworthy event in Ripple’s history. While many were thrilled about the price surge, TRON’s Justin Sun sees this as an indicator of something bigger.
According to him, Ripple’s actions might mean that financial institutions might be getting ready to officially adopt the blockchain technology.

He also congratulated Ripple, as well as Stefan Thomas, the company’s former CEO.
Ripple news also mentions soon xRapid launch
One of the reasons behind the XRP price surge, or maybe even the main one, is a recent announcement made by Ripple. The company unveiled plans to launch their long-awaited xRapid product. With such an announcement and the price surge combined, Ripple seems to be doing better than many other cryptos at the moment. Not only that, but PNC Bank also contributed to the coin’s new success by recognizing its protocol, as well as possibilities that ti can open up in the world of finances.
As for Tron CEO Justin Sun, he and his team are currently working on promoting TRON (TRX) itself, TRON has also received a lot of attention this year thanks to numerous positive events. One of the most notable ones is the company’s purchase of BitTorrent, and a later announcement of the Project Atlas, which will have BitTorrent as one of its vital components.
Thanks to these events and announcements, TRON popularity has grown a lot, but this has yet to reflect upon its price. TRON is currently ranked as the 13th largest coin by market cap. Its price is $0.021118 at the time of writing, with an increase of 2.21% in the last 24 hours.

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place
Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana Price Breaches $60 Amid a Symphony of Bullish Indicators
Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
