Don’t get shaken out. Buy the dip now and reap the benefits later. These are challenging times. This bull run is different from any previous crypto bull run. There are three reasons why crypto is currently down. DeepSeek turned the stock market red overnight. NVIDIA dropped by 17% or $600 billion. That’s the largest single-day loss in US history. Since Trump took office, there hasn’t been a huge defining moment yet. Lots of small successes so far. And the market was overbought. A bit of cooling off is healthy here.
So, I have five altcoins to buy in this dip.
Ethereum ($ETH)
Ethereum ($ETH) is underperforming during this bull run. That is almost an understatement. It’s currently 34% away from its ATH of $4,878. That dates to November 2021, over three years ago. During yesterday’s crash, the $ETH price barely held above the $3k mark.
However, there seems to be at least one strong believer in $ETH. That’s President Trump’s DeFi protocol, World Liberty Financial. Today, it bought another $10 million worth of $ETH. Do they know something that we don’t know?
Its total investment in Ethereum is now 77,537.77 $ETH. This equals $252.88 million at the current $ETH price of $3,220. It’s the biggest investment of WLFi, which sits at $266.72 million.
So, there’s a $14 million loss for now. But, still, WLFI keeps buying $ETH. Is it telling us something? Is it time to pay attention to $ETH? What do you think? Come on into our Discord and tell us what you think of Ethereum.
Solana (SOL)
Solana ($SOL) is my next pick of today’s altcoins. It recently saw a massive price jump. It stopped just short of the magical $300 resistance. The $SOL price even reached a new ATH of $293. That was only nine days ago. That’s when both the $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoins launched on Solana.
Solana also still takes center stage for memecoins. Pump.fun keeps pumping out new memecoins every day. In a moment, I will talk about one of them.
It’s not only big things that happen on Solana. There’s also lots of small and exciting news. For instance, you can now pay with Solana based stablecoins on Travala. That’s a travel booking platform that accepts crypto payments. So, there are plenty of developments on Solana.
$SOL won’t have the same run as in 2021, but there’s still plenty of room for growth. Check Cody’s TA on $SOL he did earlier today.
Ripple ($XRP)
Ripple and $XRP also manage to stay in the spotlight. Make sure not to miss yesterday’s video on Ripple and $XRP. Over the last couple of weeks, they got in the crossfire. That’s because Ripple allegedly tried to sabotage the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Ripple prefers a Strategic Crypto Reserve, with $XRP in it.
Still, $XRP’s current run is far from over. It dipped yesterday to $2.80. However, today the $XRP price has a 6.2% jump and is already back at $3.10. It also sits in a solid third spot, measured by market cap. Only Bitcoin and Ethereum are ahead of $XRP. It’s only 8.8% away from its current ATH of $3.40. If it breaks that, it’s price discovery from there onwards. Here’s $XRP’s current TA by Cody. Or watch the video below this article to see TA’s about all five altcoins.
Griffain ($GRIFFAIN)
Griffain ($GRIFFAIN) is the pump.fun token I hinted at earlier. I covered three big market cap altcoins, now it’s time to cover two smaller cap altcoins. $GRIFFAIN has a market cap of $313 million. It also fits the Solana and AI agent narratives.
AI agents are the current hot new kids on the block. Griffain has been around for 2 1/2 months and has lots of potential. The current $GRIFFAIN price of 31 cents is a great entrance. Its ATH was at 62 cents. That’s 50% down from where its current price is. That alone, is a 2x. The combination of being on Solana and being an AI agent should give it wings.
You can see Griffain as the Virtuals platform but on Solana. Don’t wait for the price to recover.
Clearpool ($CPOOL)
With Clearpool ($CPOOL) we move into another hot crypto sector, RWA. For example, BlackRock, strongly believes in RWA. That’s one of the biggest investment firms in the world. To give an idea what this means, the current RWA market size is $16 trillion. By 2030, the expectation is that it grows to $30 trillion. It’s good to remind you of this.

One of the things that Clearpool is good at is that it connects TradFi with DeFi. What makes it interesting is that it offers a solution for unsecured liquidity in DeFi. Typically, DeFi asks for over-collaterization.
Institutions can raise short-term capital, and retail gets access to the credit market. A win-win situation for both.
One thing to look out for is Ozean. This allows you to earn native yield with their $USDX stablecoin. Clearpool is one of the promising projects in RWA.
