- XRP and XLM are leading the utility-focused bull cycle, with XRP up 34% and XLM more than doubling.
- Remi Relief highlighted XRP, XLM, and HBAR as key assets due to real-world integration and scarcity.
- Broader market sentiment is shifting toward utility-backed tokens amid renewed institutional interest.
The latest crypto surge has thrown some old favorites back into the spotlight—namely XRP and Stellar’s XLM. Longtime analyst Remi Relief isn’t backing down from his belief that these two will headline the current bull run. XRP? He thinks it’ll post the biggest gains. XLM? A surprise performer that no one’s quite ready for. Sounds bold, but maybe he’s onto something.
Both tokens have seen serious movement lately. Prices are climbing, and there’s a buzz returning to tokens that actually, you know… do something. Remi pointed to demand, utility, and good old-fashioned scarcity as key reasons these two might break out harder than their flashier competitors. With the market heating up fast, XRP and XLM are suddenly outperforming some pretty major names.
Institutions Waking Up—Again?
There’s a quiet shift happening behind the scenes—one you won’t catch on price charts alone. Volume’s up, inflows are picking up, and institutional money seems to be trickling back toward these utility-heavy names. Remi emphasized that this rally feels different; less hype, more function. He’s named XRP and XLM in his top four picks for the current cycle… which probably won’t shock anyone who’s followed him for a while.
He’s leaning hard into utility this time. Not memes, not hype coins, but assets that actually serve a purpose. It’s a narrative gaining ground, especially now that the market’s shifting out of its speculative slumber and back into “who can actually scale?” territory.
XRP Cracks $3 Again—And It’s Not Just Hype
XRP just smashed through the $3 level again, hitting $3.02 before easing back a touch. That’s a wild 34% jump from last week’s dip to $2.25-ish. And just like that—it’s back at the #3 spot by market cap. Remi didn’t mince words: he thinks XRP’s the top pick for this cycle, plain and simple.
Its value goes beyond price swings—it’s connected to real-world finance. The XRP ledger has actual integrations in global payment systems. And with only 100 billion tokens max (around 59 billion in circulation), there’s scarcity built in. Analysts are lining up behind the idea that this isn’t just a pump—it’s a signal.
XLM Doubles in Days—Quietly
Stellar’s XLM may have just pulled off one of the most slept-on moves in the entire rally. It soared to $0.5166 this week, after hanging around $0.24 just days before. That’s a 109% spike—no typo. It now sits at #12 by market cap and rising. The craziest part? It barely made headlines.
Remi called XLM the “shocker of the cycle,” and honestly… yeah. Its cross-border utility is legit, especially in enterprise applications. Supply-wise, it’s capped at 50 billion tokens (31 billion circulating), so there’s room to grow. If traders keep waking up to its use case, this one might not stay under the radar much longer.
Utility-Driven Rally Is Picking Favorites
Remi didn’t stop with just XRP and XLM. He also pointed to HBAR as a top contender, forming what he called part of the “Fantastic Four” of utility. All three are seeing real-world adoption, enterprise integration, and serious investor attention. HBAR’s up 50% this week alone.
Outside of that core group, he still gave nods to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Chainlink, Quant—and even Dogecoin (yep, still hanging in there). But for Remi, it’s the utility tokens like XRP, XLM, and HBAR that could carry this rally into something much bigger.
His advice? Keep an eye on the winners, and if you’re sitting on profit—maybe think cold storage. With BTC flirting near $122K and ETH cruising past $3K again, things are moving fast. And yeah, this rally feels… different.
