With Ripple (XRP) gaining momentum and signalling a Golden Cross on its weekly RSI, investors are once again wondering if XRP can reach its much-anticipated price target of $5. Because short-term targets are $3.33 and long-term targets are $5.85, XRP is once again catching the attention of technical traders. In a surprising change from past cycles, meme coins could now be a serious threat to XRP.
To be more precise, Salamanca (DON) is gaining attention, not only for its meme qualities but also as a real competitor for investors in May 2025.
XRP: A Bullish Setup, but Can It Deliver?
This month, the RSI for XRP repeated a signal it first gave in November 2024, which is known as the Golden Cross on RSI. This sign, which usually comes before a major rise, indicates that the market is getting stronger.
According to Dark Defender, the short-term target is $3.33, and if things continue to move in this direction, the price could rise to $5.85.
According to the weekly chart, XRP has already overcome a major resistance level, and because of past events, many think this is when XRP could once again become a top altcoin.
Even as XRP is about to break out, another asset is rising quietly and may see even bigger growth than what Ripple is preparing for.
Salamanca (DON): Undervalued and Gaining Ground
While XRP rises, Salamanca (DON) is making news of its own. At the time of writing, the meme coin was trading at $0.001212 and has since gone up 3.9% in the past 24 hours, which suggests buyers are returning. The token has a 24-hour trading volume of $2.6 million and a market cap of $1.21 million, which might seem small compared to top coins but still indicates a lot of early activity.
Most meme tokens depend only on hype, but Salamanca is proving it with actual trading, gradual accumulation and solid on-chain metrics. Since there are 1 billion tokens in circulation and the price has been stable between $0.001166 and $0.001287 for 24 hours, the coin looks like it is preparing for its next action.
The straightforward tokenomics and a memorable branding story, inspired by pop culture, have helped $DON become different from other meme coins. Many traders are monitoring the market for a breakout, especially after rumors of a Binance listing, which could cause meme coins to rally strongly.
XRP vs. Salamanca: Different Weapons, Same Battlefield
Many institutional investors, people interested in lawsuits and technical traders are attracted to XRP. It needs strong momentum, positive global crypto trends and regular breaking of resistance to hit $5. Salamanca, by contrast, is being built from the ground up, thanks to support from the community, popular memes and going viral.
The interesting part of this is that these assets, though different, are now both fighting for the same share of speculative money. If you want to earn big returns, you might go for a meme token like Salamanca rather than a coin that takes longer to grow in value.
Final Thoughts
XRP could still reach $5, and the current technicals point in that direction. However, as meme coins gain popularity again and Salamanca attracts early interest and support, it’s possible that May 2025 won’t see only one crypto winner.
Instead, it could be the month when old and new ideas meet and a meme coin challenges XRP’s popularity.
