With many analysts predicting a mid-year rise in the crypto market, some impressive tokens are becoming popular among both individual and professional investors. Even as Bitcoin leads the way, attention is now turning to Ethereum (ETH), Ripple’s XRP and a popular meme coin called Salamanca (DON). Because of their special mix of setup, storytelling and community activity, these projects are sure to be worth watching as we move into June and July 2025.
Ethereum (ETH): The Macro Bull Flag Ready to Fly
Ethereum has been quietly building a very strong bullish pattern. Since last year, ETH has been forming a right-angled descending broadening wedge which is a rare but proven structure that usually leads to a major breakout. Because the trendline has been respected several times and price is now approaching the upper limit, technical traders are closely watching ETH for a clear breakout.

This isn’t the only thing going on. Ethereum’s system is still solid and Layer 2 rollups like Optimism and Arbitrum are helping to increase its capacity. After the merge, there has been an increase in institutional staking which supports the long-term faith in Ethereum.
XRP: A Reversal Confirmed as ETF Buzz Ignites Momentum
XRP, which has often been a controversial altcoin, is now gaining attention for a good reason. According to technical charts, XRP has now broken out of a long-lasting descending channel, a sign that the price is set to rise. Currently, the price is near the $2.00 resistance, and traders are quickly becoming more positive.

Robinhood has added XRP ETF products, including 2x leverage and futures which means more institutions are accepting and exposing themselves to XRP. In the past, XRP has done well when regulations become clearer and new liquidity is introduced. The market is now seeing many traders hope for another test of the $3.80–$4.00 level, and some even aim for higher targets if the broader market gains momentum in July.
Salamanca (DON): From Meme to Market Momentum
ETH and XRP are backed by strong technical and institutional support, but Salamanca (DON) is making a name for itself in the meme coin arena with its cultural strength and surprising ability to bounce back. Drawn from the world of gritty TV, DON is built on Binance Smart Chain and is quickly building a strong ecosystem that expands its potential.
Salamanca is different from most meme coins because it is developing steadily, giving its community real value and planning to add DeFi and NFT features. Perhaps most importantly, DON continues to see strong daily trading and steady support, which suggests that demand is real. As of late May, the token was near $0.0012, but experts predict that a rise above $0.0020 could quickly lead to a sharp rise toward $0.01, which would be nearly 10x the current price.
Many people are joining the community on Telegram, X and Discord, thanks to viral content, anime-inspired branding and natural memes. Even though Binance hasn’t confirmed, DON’s price movement hints that whales are preparing for a rise before the listing.
Final Thoughts: Positioning for the Summer Run
As the crypto market enters a historically strong mid-year period, Ethereum, XRP and Salamanca (DON) are three different ways to invest: ETH for its stable background and chances to break out, XRP for renewed regulatory interest and ETF support, and DON for those looking for a risky but potentially highly rewarding meme coin.
These assets are based on real patterns, progress and important stories, not just guesswork. For anyone trying to take advantage of the June–July trend, these are the top tokens you should have in your 2025 portfolio.
