Flare price pumps 25% amid explosive DeFi growth: is a new ATH next?

  • Flare price rose sharply as altcoins continued to steer bullish with Ethereum, XRP and Solana up.
  • The FLR token was up 25% as bulls pushed from lows of $0.02089 to highs of $0.02722.
  • With DeFi and broader market resilience, Flare could target a new all-time.

The cryptocurrency market continues to trend bullish as top altcoins see gains, but not many can match Flare (FLR)’s explosive 25% outperformance in the past 24 hours.

FLR’s gains dwarf those of key 24-hour performers Pudgy Penguins, Worldcoin and PancakeSwap.

The token traded around $0.2702 at the time of writing, with daily volume up 457% to over $98 million.

Open interest on Coinglass showed a 35% increase to $11.8 million.

Flare price: is FLR poised for a new peak?

As Ethereum holds firm above $3,600 and Solana consolidates gains above $200, renewed optimism has emerged around Flare (FLR).

FLR has surged from intraday lows of $0.02089 to as high as $0.02722, marking one of the strongest performances among major cryptocurrencies.

The rally has pushed Flare into the 57th spot by market capitalisation, placing it among the top gainers within the 100 largest digital assets.

With total value locked, transaction volume and overall DeFi growth on the uptick, is this spike in FLR price the beginning of a major flip to a new all-time high?

Per data from CoinMarketCap, Flare reached the all-time peak of $0.0797 in January 2023.

Flare price chart by CoinMarketCap

FLR price is up nearly 50% in the past week and 63% in the past month.

Much of the enthusiasm and bullish forecasts for Flare are down to the project’s innovative DeFi approach.

Asset bridging has caught the market’s attention with recent integrations and mega incentives.

DeFi on Flare gains traction

Flare’s latest price pump comes in a month where the project unveiled a massive $2.2 billion incentive program for its FAssets.

The target is explosive growth in Flare’s DeFi share with cross-chain liquidity and TVL.

Interest has also jumped amid the integration of XRPFi, a DeFi initiative targeted at tapping into XRP on the network.

This is what Firelight, a key protocol on the Flare network, has introduced to early success.

As XRPFi takes root, tokens such as stXRP, a liquid staking token that allows users to earn yields while maintaining liquidity across DeFi platforms, are gaining traction.

Institutional interest is also growing. One such big move is VivoPower.

The Nasdaq-listed company recently announced a $100 million XRP deployment on Flare with the aim of generating yield.

“Flare isn’t just for institutional XRP holders like VivoPower, it’s also powering platforms like Uphold that serve millions of everyday users. With Flare’s yield strategies, they can offer simple, opt-in XRP staking — no DeFi expertise required. That’s the kind of simplicity we’re aiming for,” Flare wrote on X

Momentum across the Flare network has seen its TVL surge triple digits to near $200 million. SparkDEX, Kinetic and Sceptre Liquid are key protocols on the network.

ONDO price rallies on 21Shares’ ETF filing and major exchange listing

  • The altcoin has rallied following 21Shares’ ETF filing with the SEC.
  • The application indicates increasing institutional interest in RWA tokens.
  • Binance US has listed ONDO, fueling its upside momentum.

Ondo Finance’s native coin signals imminent breakouts despite the broad market cool down, fueled by two key developments.

First and foremost, asset manager 21Shares has filed with the US SEC to launch an ONDO exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Secondly, Binance US confirmed listing the altcoin, with trading starting today, July 23.

ONDO soared from the daily low of $1.0583 to $1.1642, a 10% increase, as the bullish news sparked bullish momentum.

ONDO is at the center of Ondo Finance’s goal of bringing traditional assets on-chain.

With interest in real-world asset (RWA) platforms skyrocketing, 21Shares and Binance US’ moves could not be better as retail and institutional investors seek Ondo exposure.

The crypto has witnessed a surge in institutional appetite, with giants like BlackRock showing interest.

MasterCard tapped Ondo Finance as its first RWA provider, while Ripple leveraged the blockchain to launch OUSG on its XRPL.

21Shares files to launch ONDO ETF

21Shares increases Ondo’s institutional appeal with the latest ETF application.

The move confirms that traditional finance (TradiFi) is targeting the tokenization sector seriously.

Moreover, seeking SEC authorization underscores the asset manager’s commitment to compliance and innovation in the tokenized sector of RWAs and DeFi.

This is more than another cryptocurrency product.

Ondo Finance remains at the core of the current trend of bringing real-world assets like US Treasuries, credit instruments, and bonds on-chain.

Last week, Ondo Finance collaborated with BNB Chain to introduce tokenized equities in the United States.

21Shares’ proposed exchange-traded fund would offer cryptocurrency enthusiasts exposure to ONDO via licensed platforms, without brokerage sites.

Binance US lists ONDO

A leading crypto exchange in the United States, Binance US, confirmed listing Ondo Finance’s token on its trading platform.

It opened deposits on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain yesterday, with ONDO/USDT trading set to start today.

The official announcement read:

We’re excited to announce that ONDO is now listed on Binance.US! Deposits for ONDO on the Ethereum network are now open. Trading for ONDO/USDT will begin tomorrow, July 23, 2025, at 4 a.m. / 7 a.m. EDT.

The listing is vital as it makes the ONDO token accessible to the massive American retail audience.

Moreover, listing on leading exchanges often acts as a Launchpad for many tokens.

More US citizens can now trade ONDO without depending on overseas platforms or decentralized exchanges.

ONDO price outlook

Ondo Finance’s native coin attracted attention amidst the optimistic developments.

It trades at $1.11 after a brief correction from daily highs.

Meanwhile, the surging 24-hour trading volume highlights renewed interest in the RWA token, hinting at continued uptrend.

Technical indicators support the short-term momentum shift.

For example, the MACD on the 3H chart displays green histograms after a bullish crossover, signaling a buyer comeback.

Also, the Chaikin Money Flow shows increased ONDO accumulation over the past week.

Such trends indicate trust in the token’s near-term performance.

Ondo Finance bull target the late January price levels above $1.60.

Overcoming this level could catalyze smooth gains to the psychological level at $2.

Altcoins today: Solana and Monero at key price levels amid market cooldown

  • SOL reclaims $200 for the first time since February today.
  • XMR targets further gains after rebounding from a vital support barrier at $313.
  • Crypto market cools after recent rallies, but bullish structures remain intact.

Digital coins displayed mixed performances on Tuesday amid bull exhaustion and profit-taking after the latest remarkable rallies.

Ethereum has corrected from yesterday’s peak of $3,854 to $3,640 at press time, while Bitcoin remained range-bound at $118,000.

However, Solana and Monero stole the spotlight among large-cap tokens with notable price movements on their charts.

SOL hit multi-month highs today after soaring past the vital $200, whereas XMR exhibits a bullish outlook after bouncing back from a reliable support zone at $313.

Solana leads today’s rally

SOL emerged as the best-performing token among the top ten cryptocurrencies by value.

The alt has rallied from last week’s low of $158 to an intraday high of $204 today, exploring regions not touched since early February 2025.

With network maturity and demand fueling SOL’s comeback, the digital asset seems set for extended rallies in the near term.

Its total value locked has increased to February levels above $11 billion, while institutions add momentum through Solana strategic reserves and ETF applications.

SOL eyes more uptrends following the latest breakout, with technical indicators setting $300 as the key target.

That would translate to about a 50% surge from its current market price.

Nevertheless, the $190 – $200 range remains vital for SOL’s short-term trajectory.

Intensified profit-booking in this region could delay the projected short-term rally.

Enthusiasts should watch for potential dips to $189 before a decisive closing above $200.

However, prevailing sentiments suggest fewer obstacles in Solana’s upward path.

Monero holds a key support zone

The top privacy token seems prepared for the next leg up despite its weakening momentum.

XMR’s current price of $325 places it well above the crucial support of $313.

This foothold is reinforced by multiple technical indicators, including POC (point of control) and 0.618 FIB retracement.

That makes $313 a vital reversal region. Monero’s bullish structure remains intact if buyers hold this zone.

That could clear the path to the target at $344.

Overcoming this resistance could trigger significant surges if broad market conditions remain favourable.

Crypto market overview

The cryptocurrency space has taken a breather after the latest surges.

The largest assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum, have seen slight dips in the past 24 hours.

However, the market demonstrates stability, indicating a consolidation phase and not a correction one.

Michael van de Poppe highlighted that Bitcoin has collected liquidity with its recent price actions.

However, it remains in a constricted range, awaiting “the actual volatility” that could catalyse sharp gains.

The analyst also warned about possible violent corrections for altcoins as Ethereum isn’t grabbing much liquidity with its ongoing retracement.

Meanwhile, corrections in cryptocurrencies aren’t uncommon, especially after substantial rallies.

Most assets exhibit bullish patterns, hinting at continued rallies.

Institutional interest in Ethereum remains steady as markets brace for altcoin season.

Thus, market players may brace for substantial breakouts after the prevailing cooldown.

Analysts advise traders and investors to explore dip-buying opportunities if the short-term declines intensify.

XRP outlook bullish as tokenized RWAs on XRPL skyrocket 2,260%

  • The XRP price is near its all-time high as altcoins see gains.
  • XRP Ledger’s tokenized RWA grew 2,260% in six months, from $5 million to over $118 million.
  • Other metrics and broader market developments add to the bullish outlook for XRP.

Ripple’s XRP trades around $3.50 as it continues to hover near its all-time high, with price up 21% in the past week and over 66% in the past month.

While the overall cryptocurrency bullish sentiment has helped, key network and ecosystem catalysts are emerging, including the XRP Ledger witnessing staggering growth in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) over the past six months.

XRPL tokenized RWA grows 2,260% in six months

According to the latest report, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is gaining traction in the tokenized real-world assets market.

In just the past six months, XRPL saw its on-chain RWA value share jump from $5 million in January 2025 to over $118 million by July 2025. This accounts for a notable 2,260% increase, growth that coincides with an explosion in the overall tokenization trend.

Token Relations shared the XRPL data on RWA growth in a recent article on X, noting the sharp increase aligns with the Ripple network’s rising appeal as a tokenized assets platform. High transaction volumes that include a peak of 2.48 billion XRP in daily payments adds to this outlook.

XRPL has attracted RWA integrations from Archax and Abrdn, Guggenheim Treasury Services, and Ondo Finance.  Mercado Bitcoin also plans to tokenize over $200 million in assets on the XRP Ledger, further expanding the platform’s traction.

Assets on-chain on XRPL include U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper, and money market funds among other traditional financial instruments.

XRP price forecast: Ripple network activity could be key

Tokenized RWAs is not the only metric highlighting XRP’s potential. Other key catalysts have come into play, including network milestones such as the launch of the EVM sidechain and integration of Ripple USD (RLUSD), a stablecoin that’s getting huge adoption calls.

“Since going live, the XRPL EVM Sidechain has seen organic developer adoption, with over 1,300 smart contracts deployed, participation from more than 17,000 unique addresses, and the creation of more than 120 tokens,” Token Relations noted.

The spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) anticipation is also crucial, as is regulatory clarity and Ripple’s settlement of its SEC legal woes.

XRP price has gained amid these developments, with Ripple’s market cap surpassing the $200 billion as XRP hit highs of $3.64. Notably, the cryptocurrency reached its all-time high of $3.84 in 2018 and analysts say this is a milestone bulls are poised to exceed in the short-term.

From a technical outlook angle, XRP shows strong bullish momentum. As institutional interest grows amid a confluence of regulatory clarity and network partnerships, it is clear XRP could target parabolic gains.

Solana price prediction: SOL targets breakout above $200

  • Solana price is above $190, with intraday highs of $192 as bulls target the psychological $200 level.
  • Analysts say SOL could explode above the $190 level amid current altcoin gains.
  • Institutional interest in Solana continues amid investment product inflows.

Solana (SOL) is trading above $190 on Monday, breaking higher to hit its highest level since February.

This comes as SOL gained over 14% this past week and by more than 34% in the past month, buoyed by a rally for altcoins after the GENIUS Act became law.

With on-chain activity and technical indicators bullish, analysts say a breakout above $190 could see Solana rally hard. Other altcoins, including Ethereum, XRP, and Cardano, are also bullish.

Solana price breaches key resistance level

Solana has recently ticked higher amid an upward trend that excites bulls, with analysts noting it’s poised for a potential parabolic move if it breaks above a critical resistance level.

According to an analysis by Glassnode, the next major resistance for SOL is around $190, where investors have accumulated over 8 million Solana tokens.

Although this accumulation zone represents a significant hurdle, bulls are currently retesting it.

Buyers have in the past 24 hours gained nearly 7% to breach the supply barrier and reach intraday highs of $191.79.

Furthermore, Glassnode suggests breaking above this level could be key as the supply becomes less dense.

As a thinning supply zone sits above $190, the $200 price level could be on the cards.

SOL price forecast

As noted, market forecasts for Solana are increasingly optimistic, with a confluence of technical and on-chain factors in favour.

Liquidations have jumped as shorts feel the heat, accounting for over $12 million of the $16 million wiped out in the past 24 hours.

Notably, market observers say that high market activity has often seen SOL liquidations explode on Solana-based perpetual trading platforms.

This surge in on-chain liquidations underscores the intense trading volume and speculative interest in SOL, particularly on decentralized platforms leveraging Solana’s high-speed blockchain.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez says a break above $189 for SOL leaves nearly no major hurdle for bulls.

Solana’s total value locked (TVL) amid a massive spike in decentralized finance (DeFi) adoption adds to the bullish sentiment for SOL.

Solana-based digital asset products exchange-traded products have also been on an upward trend in terms of inflows.

The ETPs, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), managed over $39.1 million in inflows for the past week.

While it lagged Bitcoin’s $2.19 billion in weekly inflows, the number is a reflection of growing adoption for SOL.

DeFi TVL on Solana has in fact jumped to $10.2 billion, hitting the milestone for the first time in nearly two years.

The SOL price appreciation has helped push the TVL up, with Jito Sol up to $3.09 billion, Jupiter Exchange to $2.9 billion and Kamino Finance to $2.89 billion.
