Crypto Price Today (May 21, 2025) Bitcoin Eyes New High; Xrp, Solana, Dogecoin Prepare For Momentum

The recently shifted market dynamics have led Bitcoin to catch up with a strong bullish momentum with it briefly touching the $108K mark earlier today. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $106,544, showing strong momentum despite a slight pullback. 

Adding fuel to Bitcoin’s fire, open interest in BTC futures has also hit an all-time high of $76.06 billion today. This record-breaking figure—accompanied by Bitcoin’s soaring price action—reflects heightened market participation and optimism. 

While Bitcoin leads the charge, altcoins are not far behind, with the rally igniting excitement across the crypto market. Altcoins like XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) are gearing up for their own upward trajectory as Bitcoin moves closer to its all-time high

XRP Aims Reclaiming $2.6 

With the strong push, XRP is aiming to reclaim the $2.6 mark and potentially follow its recent upward trend. This optimism underscores XRP’s strong potential as a solid investment opportunity.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Prepares for $0.25

Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) is preparing to hit $0.25, with analysts forecasting a 10% increase to its current price of $0.2275. Dogecoin’s market sentiment is largely influenced by Bitcoin’s bullish run and remains cautiously optimistic.
