- Trump’s inauguration fuels XRP surge, with analysts pointing to 3 other altcoins next
- Litecoin, Ethereum, and Hedera to follow XRP’s path
- Analysts predict major moves for LTC, ETH, and HBAR post-Jan 20
January 20th sees Donald Trump swearing in as the 47th President of the United States, and the crypto world is excited about what’s to come. Could this mark the start of a new golden age for crypto?
XRP, in particular, has broken through the $3 mark for the first time in years. But it’s not just market forces at play—political events, particularly Trump’s election, have also played a role.
From a low of around $0.50, XRP has soared to nearly $3, driven by a combination of renewed market interest and a shifting political landscape. As the crypto market awaits the new era under Trump’s leadership, Altcoin Buzz has spotted three altcoins that could soar following January 20.
Litecoin (LTC): A Comeback Story
Litecoin (LTC) has been somewhat under the radar lately but is in a strong position for a comeback. While many cryptocurrencies shifted towards stablecoins for payments, Litecoin has remained a favorite for transactions, evidenced by its 300 million completed transactions, with 92 million of those occurring in 2024 alone.
Additionally, Litecoin is in the early stages of a potential ETF approval, and with SEC changes on the horizon—thanks to the incoming Chair, Paul Atkins—LTC could find itself in a better regulatory environment. LTC has already risen 15% recently, and many believe it could see more growth in the coming months.
Ethereum (ETH): A Discounted Buy
Despite short-term dips, Ethereum continues to anchor the blockchain ecosystem, thanks to its robust network and widespread adoption. Platforms like Coinbase heavily rely on Ethereum for transactions, ensuring its long-term relevance.
The rise of Layer 2 solutions and growing network activity point to Ethereum’s recovery potential. Many experts argue that this current dip offers an excellent buying opportunity, especially with rumors of expanded ETF offerings under the new administration.

Hedera (HBAR): Institutional Appeal
Hedera (HBAR) may not be the most talked-about project, but its unique positioning in the real-world assets (RWA) market and ISO 222 compliance gives it an edge.
HBAR has already been accepted by institutions via platforms like Coinbase Prime, and with Trump’s administration likely ushering in more favorable regulatory frameworks for tokens like HBAR, its future looks promising.
