Could This Surprising Cryptocurrency Become the Next XRP?
Sui launched in 2023, and is still flying under the radar of many investors.
It may possess the same type of upside potential as XRP.
Sui, much like XRP, is a highly speculative cryptocurrency prone to enormous volatility.
10 stocks we like better than Sui ›
It's easy to understand the allure of XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) for crypto investors. Between November 2024 and January 2025, it soared nearly 600% in value, eventually hitting a 52-week high of $3.39 in mid-January.
However, since then, XRP has slumped badly. It's now down 35%, and shows little sign of regaining momentum. As a result, I've been looking for "the next XRP" -- a low-cost, high-upside cryptocurrency capable of skyrocketing in price just like XRP. My top pick right now is Sui (CRYPTO: SUI), and here's why.
Sui is the latest in a long line of highly touted Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) challengers. While Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) is currently the top Ethereum challenger, Sui has often been referred to as a potential "Solana killer." So, in terms of current pecking order, there's Ethereum, there's Solana, and there's Sui.
Sui currently ranks No. 12 among all cryptocurrencies, with a market cap of $10 billion. That's all the more impressive given that Sui only launched in April 2023. In just two years, it has already become one of the top cryptocurrencies in the world.
To give you an idea of just how big the potential market opportunity is for Sui, Solana has an $80 billion market cap, while Ethereum has a $300 billion market cap. So if Sui manages to catch Solana, it might increase in value eight-fold. If it manages to close the gap with Ethereum, it might increase in value by 30-fold.
What's particularly interesting is how many similarities there are between Sui and XRP. Both are currently trading at more than 40% discounts to their all-time highs. Both also hit 52-week highs in January 2025, amid a wave of crypto euphoria.
That's not all. Both are strong candidates to get spot ETFs this year, and both have high-profile Silicon Valley companies backing them. XRP has Ripple Labs, while Sui has Mysten Labs. To date, Mysten Labs has raised over $300 million in financing to support the build-out of the Sui blockchain ecosystem.
Moreover, if you look at trading activity on the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN), both XRP and Sui rank among the top five cryptocurrencies in terms of 24-hour trading volume. While Sui may not be a household name quite yet, traders are certainly aware of it.
So why is Sui not generating the same types of headlines as XRP? Well, Sui launched in 2023 as the crypto winter of 2022 was coming to an end. That was bad timing, to say the least. The last thing investors want to hear about when the market is at the very bottom is a new, highly speculative cryptocurrency.
However, Sui has certainly made up for lost time, and is now starting to attract more attention from institutional investors. In August 2024, a research report from 21Shares ("Is Sui a Solana Killer?") highlighted Sui's impressive performance metrics, including its blazing-fast speeds.
Will Sui really be able to outperform XRP over the long haul? It depends on the long-term growth prospects of both. If you think that Ripple (XRP) can become a world leader in cross-border payments, you buy XRP. If you think that Solana and Ethereum are ripe for disruption, then you buy Sui.
Going forward, one major point of differentiation might be stablecoins, which have emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the crypto market. Right now, stablecoins appear to be taking a big bite out of XRP's core business (cross-border payments). In contrast, stablecoins are likely to be complementary for the Sui blockchain ecosystem, helping to drive more user activity.
According to online prediction markets, XRP has a 72% chance of hitting a price of $3.40 before the end of the year, and a 30% chance of hitting $3.75. Based on its current price of $2.20, that means XRP has a relatively high likelihood of soaring 50% or more by the end of 2025.
Given all its similarities with XRP, I'm expecting Sui to meet or exceed this type of performance. If Sui is able to regain its highs from January, then it could soar more than 75% by the end of the year. If you are willing to accept the risk of significant volatility ahead, Sui could be yet another way to diversify your portfolio with a low-cost, high-upside cryptocurrency.

Martini Market Presale Surpasses 40% of Softcap Within 24 Hours of Launch on XRP Ledger
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 21, 2025, 19:02 IST DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Martini Market , the decentralized prediction market platform being developed on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), has confirmed that its $MRT token presale has exceeded 40% of its initial softcap target within 24 hours of launch. The strong early participation reflects rising interest in emerging use cases within the expanding XRP ecosystem. The presale, which opened on June 19 at 3 PM UTC, offers 4 million $MRT tokens to the public out of a total supply of 10 million. The softcap is set at 50,000 XRP, and the hardcap is capped at 250,000 XRP. According to the project team, over 20,000 XRP has already been contributed in the first 24 hours. Martini Market positions itself as the first decentralized, on-chain prediction platform built directly on the XRP Ledger. It aims to enable users to create and participate in outcome-based markets tied to real-world events. These include sectors such as politics, sports, finance, and global affairs, resolved via oracles and on-chain automation. The $MRT token is designed as a core utility asset within the Martini Market ecosystem. According to the team, its intended functions include governance participation, staking, and market creation. Platform users holding specific quantities of $MRT will have access to additional roles and benefits once the platform is live. The project launch comes amid a period of notable development across the XRP Ledger. Ripple's recent regulatory progress in the UAE, including DFSA approval and partnerships with Zand Bank and Mamo, along with the integration of USDC and RLUSD, and the introduction of an EVM-compatible sidechain, have contributed to an environment increasingly supportive of DeFi protocols. 'The early demand for $MRT appears to reflect an appetite within the XRPL community for decentralized tools that go beyond payments,' said a Martini Market spokesperson. 'Prediction markets are widely used on other blockchains, and bringing this functionality to XRPL could open a new chapter in its utility-driven growth.' The $MRT token is currently being offered at a presale rate of 1 XRP = 16 MRT. Post-presale, the listing price has been set at 1 XRP = 11 MRT, representing a difference of approximately 30% from the presale valuation. The presale is expected to run for up to 30 days, though it may conclude earlier if the hardcap is reached. In addition to governance and market participation, $MRT will also be used to incentivize liquidity providers and potentially reward staking participants. Specific platform mechanisms will be detailed further as the protocol approaches mainnet deployment. Martini Market has not made any financial projections or investment claims regarding $MRT. The team emphasizes that participation in the presale is subject to personal discretion and recommends that users conduct independent research before contributing.
