In a recent interview, David Siemer, CEO of Wave Digital Assets, shared his predictions on where major cryptocurrencies like XRP and Solana could be headed — and it’s bullish news for crypto investors.
Bitcoin to Lead the Pack
Siemer said that for the rest of the year, it will still be a Bitcoin-dominated market, driven by institutional adoption. “No institutions are buying anything but Bitcoin right now,” he said, while adding that Ethereum has begun to see some institutional interest.
XRP: Can It Break Its All-Time High?
When asked about XRP’s price outlook, Siemer hinted at upcoming developments that could fuel a rally. While remaining tight-lipped, he expressed confidence in the XRP community’s strength. “The army is real,” he said, adding that consistent buying from loyal holders could help XRP revisit its previous all-time high of around $3.50.
“I think XRP could hit an all-time high,” Siemer predicted, calling the possibility realistic in the current market environment.
Solana: All-Time High Possible Despite Sell Pressure
Solana (SOL) has been one of 2025’s most talked-about tokens — and for good reason. According to Siemer, Solana’s recent memecoin mania, growing DeFi sector, and network upgrades set it up for new highs.
However, he has observed one lingering challenge: ongoing token unlocks linked to the FTX bankruptcy estate, which could keep applying sell pressure for another couple of years.
Despite that, Siemer believes Solana could hit new all-time highs, calling its current setup “really strong.”
Smart Contract Blockchain Race Far From Over
Siemer also addressed the broader Layer 1 smart contract blockchain race, predicting that no single winner will emerge. “There’s not going to be a winner — there’s going to be winners,” he said, explaining how even the traditional software industry thrives with thousands of viable companies.
