Every week someone floats the idea their favorite crypto coin should be a strategic asset of the US government. This week, Ripple’s XRP has been nominated, and the SEC Crypto Task Force seems to like it a lot. So much so that they published it on their website.
It’s not an official proposal, but publishing it on the SEC website indicates that the SEC Crypto Task Force is perhaps seriously considering it
This renewed political spotlight on crypto could be good news when researching the best altcoins to buy.
XRP Viewed as Having ‘Much More Potential Than Bitcoin’
The one behind the XRP proposal is a financial analyst named Maximilian Staudinger, and he wrote on X that ‘Bitcoin is much scarcer than most people think, and XRP has incredible potential.’
According to the plan, 30% of the $5T held by the US global Nostro accounts can be replaced by XRP. This would produce $1.5T which can be used to boost the suggested Bitcoin strategic reserve.
Nostro accounts are bank accounts held in a foreign country by a domestic bank in the currency of that country, and the US is holding $5T in these accounts internationally.
It also recommends XRP becomes integrated into the US financial system to pay state-level payments, such as social security. This would apparently produce annual savings of up to $7.5B.
XRP does have its pros – it can process 1,500 transactions per second, compared to Bitcoin’s 7 transactions and Ethereum’s 30. XRP can also finalize transactions in less than 5 seconds, compared to Bitcoin which can take up to 60 minutes.
XRP Plan Branded As ‘Completely Unrealistic’
Staudinger’s proposal is audacious in scope, but it has been criticized by many as completely unrealistic. How could the US government implement this when two-thirds of the total supply are controlled by the entity that created them?
Add to that the obstacle of the SEC suing Ripple Labs back in 2020, alleging XRP was sold as an unregistered security. That case is still ongoing, with the SEC demanding significant fines be imposed. How are they going to get past that?
Staudinger’s Bitcoin Plan Also Makes Him Lose Credibility
Staudinger also weighed in on the suggested Bitcoin strategic reserve, recommending that the US uses the freed up $1.5T of Nostro account funds to ‘buy more Bitcoin than actually exists’ (25M $BTC at $60K a token).
However, despite weird proposals being submitted to the US government every other week, it still shows a bullish crypto market. Bitcoin and now XRP are in the political spotlight, and will have a positive knock-on effect with altcoins and meme coins.
With that in mind, let’s look at the three best altcoins to buy which could do very well if things keep going the way they are.
1. BTC Bull ($BTCBULL) – Get Airdrop Rewards As Bitcoin Gets Bullish
BTC Bull ($BTCBULL) is one of the best presales at the moment. It directly ties its fortunes to the value of Bitcoin. As the price of $BTC goes up, $BTCBULL token holders will get airdrop rewards.
There are of course caveats to getting those airdrops. Token holders must buy $BTCBULL using Best Wallet, and hold the tokens there.
When Bitcoin reaches price levels of $150K and $200K, holders of $BTCBULL will get Bitcoin airdrop rewards. When Bitcoin reaches $250K (which many investors believe is a very realistic possibility), BTC Bull developers will release a large amount of $BTCBULL in airdrop rewards to celebrate.
To hopefully make those $BTCBULL tokens more valuable, there will be token burns when the Bitcoin price reaches $125K, $175K, and $225K.
With Bitcoin going through a golden era at the moment, the value of Bitcoin is likely going to increase again. If you buy $BTCBULL, you’ll get a double-dip of the profits. Today’s token price is $0.002415 and the staking APY is 115%.
2. Meme Index ($MEMEX) – Spread Your Risk with First-Ever Meme Coin Index
Next up is Meme Index ($MEMEX) which ends its presale in two weeks. It’s a good altcoin to get into, as it provides $MEMEX token holders with exclusive access to four meme coin investment funds.
The crypto markets can get rather choppy. Therefore, it’s hard to protect yourself against unexpected volatility, which could erase your gains in an instant. Meme Index solves this by spreading your money over 8 different coins in a fund.
The four funds range in volatility, with the highest possible rewards being in the most volatile (the Frenzy Index). But if you want a more relaxed life, you can put your money into the Titan Index, followed by the Moonshot Index, and the Midcap Index.
$MEMEX token holders also get voting and governance rights to influence the future direction of Meme Index.
Today’s token price is $0.0166883 and the staking APY is 562%. Our $MEMEX price prediction sees the token price going as high as $1.75 a token by 2030, which is over a 100x price increase.
3. Heroes of Mavia ($MAVIA) – Get Airdrops Playing a Web3 Mobile Game
Our spotlight on a promising new crypto today is Heroes of Mavia ($MAVIA) which is the in-game token for a Web3 mobile game and the token for the Heroes of Mavia gaming ecosystem.
It caught our eye due to the price increasing in the past 24 hours by an eye-watering 2,900% and its market cap increasing 283% to just over $31M.
Token holders can take part ownership of the game with voting and governance rights, as well as earning more $MAVIA tokens through airdrop rewards and playing tournaments. Tokens can also be used to buy NFTs in their marketplace.
If you’re a gamer and you like the idea of holding a stake in an online game, this could be the one for you. It’s not a presale so there’s no staking APY. But the token price is a very attractive $0.5527.
