XRP, RTX or SUI – Which Crypto Will Be The First To Hit $10?

Three payment-focused projects: XRP, Remittix (RTX) and Sui (SUI), are battling for investor mind-share

Three payment-focused projects: XRP, Remittix (RTX) and Sui (SUI), are battling for investor mind-share as each approaches a psychological price milestone.

With XRP (XRP) stalled in the mid-twos and SUI sprinting toward the fours after a 67 % rally, while RTX is still in presale, the question on everyone’s lips is: who reaches $10 first?

XRP: ETF Tailwinds, Futures Launch and A Legal Finish Line

Network activity around Ripple’s token has exploded, with more than 838 million XRP changing hands in a single day, historically a prelude to large moves. Yet price action remains stuck, with the token now trading at $2.23.

After a legal battle that spanned years, Judge Torres has finally ruled in favor of Ripple, and the SEC agreed to drop cross-appeals, trimming the agency’s fine to $50 million and paving the way for spot sales to institutions once the injunction is lifted.

Liquidity metrics also look ETF-ready. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says futures on the CME are imminent, which he views as the gateway to a spot ETF that could unleash pent-up demand the way Bitcoin funds did in January.

Still, the technical chart demands caution. XRP has failed to hold the SMA 50 three times this year. Unless volume arrives when CME futures go live, or when an ETF filing hits the SEC, the scenario could play out again.

Most realistic roadmaps call for a $10 print between late 2026 and 2028, with Telegaon modelling almost $10 for 2026/2027 and Changelly tipping 2028.

A faster trajectory depends on monthly gains of about ten percent, which ChatGPT-based projections place at August 2026, an optimistic but achievable scenario if ETF flows are anything like Bitcoin’s Q1.

Sui: TVL Surge, Mastercard Deal and a Breakout Chart

Sui’s Layer-1 chain has seen a strong rally from $2.10 to $3.58 in two weeks as it broke a bullish double-bottom neckline. Its total value locked also increased by 8 % to $1.64 billion, pushing it past Avalanche (AVAX) and Aptos (APT) into ninth place by TVL.

Big-name endorsements are also heating up the hype, with ABC “Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary calling Sui “the hottest ticket” in early April, while 326 k-follower analyst Route 2 FI declared it “the trade of the cycle.”

The token’s momentum is underpinned by fundamental trends. Memecoin activity is exploding on Sui and a partnership with xMoney will launch a virtual Mastercard, converting Sui addresses into spendable balances at millions of merchants.

Reaching $10 would require another 180 % from current levels. This is less of a climb compared to XRP’s 360 % from its lows to reach $2, but it also depends on how quickly Sui’s circulating supply expands as ecosystem incentives unlock.

If TVL continues to outpace issuance and on-chain fees remain low enough to attract users from Solana (SOL), then we might see Sui flirting with double digits by mid-2025. However, failure to deliver its Mastercard product on schedule could stall the ascent, leaving Sui short of the finish line.

Remittix (RTX): Undervalued Presale With A Straight Shot to Ten Dollars

While XRP is battling regulators and Sui competes in a crowded Layer-1 war, Remittix (RTX) is focusing on a single pain point: cross-border remittances that still cost migrants 6-8 % per transfer. Its token sale has already raised $14.6 million+, selling 529 million RTX at $0.0757 apiece, yet the hard cap keeps circulating supply tight during rollout. Each transaction burns a fraction of fees, creating a built-in scarcity engine absent from XRP and SUI.

Crucially, Remittix is launching with pilot corridors in Africa and Southeast Asia this summer. Two mobile-money operators and a regional e-wallet will test sub-minute settlements backed by on-chain liquidity. Should pilots succeed, partner volumes could exceed $200 million annually, enough, according to internal modelling, to justify a $3–$5 token on utility alone.

With exchange listings and staking planned for early 2025, even a modest CEX debut at $1 would deliver a 13× return for presale buyers, placing the psychological $10 target only another 10× away. If remittance partners scale and burning ratchets supply down, RTX could plausibly reach $10 by late 2026, ahead of a
