As the crypto market goes through a correction phase, some assets seem ready to reverse the trend and make a strong comeback. Among them, XRP, Aptos, and Chainlink stand out according to Santiment, offering investors strategic opportunities despite an increased volatility context.

XRP at the heart of regulatory turmoil, but a glimmer of hope remains

The first altcoin highlighted is XRP, the native crypto of Ripple. Despite a tense regulatory context, notably with the announcement of the SEC’s appeal regarding the court decision on the Ripple case, XRP retains undeniable potential. “The new 15 % drop in XRP’s price, reaching $0.52, is directly linked to the market’s reaction to this judicial decision,” states Santiment. However, this drop could be temporary, as other positive news counterbalance the uncertainty, notably Bitwise’s filing of an application for an XRP-backed ETF. Such a request would spark renewed interest from institutional investors and potentially propel XRP’s price beyond $0.60 in the coming weeks.

Indeed, beyond the legal battle, fundamental elements continue to support XRP. Ripple has strengthened its positioning in the cross-border payments market, a key sector in which the company is historically well established. With significant support from financial institutions, XRP could be one of the main drivers of the next crypto rally despite current turbulence.

Aptos and Chainlink, Engines of Innovation in Web3

In a completely different field, Aptos (APT) stands out for its strategic moves to establish itself in the Japanese Web3 market. This relatively young crypto has acquired HashPalette, a recognized blockchain player in Japan, to connect traditional technologies with new Web3 applications. The integration of the Palette blockchain could allow Aptos to establish itself in a rapidly evolving tech market. This announcement, combined with increased network activity, pushed the APT price up by 7 %, reaching $8.8. The bullish trend could continue as some investors foresee the potential for a rise up to $20 if fundamental indicators remain positive.

Meanwhile, Chainlink (LINK) continues to attract attention thanks to its collaborations with major traditional finance players. Through its association with SWIFT, Chainlink made a significant step in blockchain interoperability, allowing financial institutions to better connect to decentralized networks via the CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol). This advancement paves the way for increased adoption of Chainlink by financial institutions. With a price increase of 4 %, to $11.03, Chainlink positions itself as a key player in the future of decentralized financial infrastructures.

XRP, Aptos, and Chainlink appear to be altcoins to watch closely. Each has specific catalysts that could stimulate their recovery, in a market where volatility remains high. However, the long-term growth prospects of these assets largely depend on regulatory developments, strategic partnerships, and the market’s response to the fundamentals. For investors, the anticipation of a rally could materialize, but remains conditional on the overall performance of Bitcoin and the market’s resilience in the face of current uncertainties.
