Institutional investors are continuously increasing their exposure to digital assets as traditional assets are losing value and credibility among investors. From major global companies like Tesla to treasury companies like MicroStrategy, and even the federal government, are pushing for crypto adoption and adding it to their portfolios. 

Crypto ETFs have also gained massive traction from investors. Since its launch, Bitcoin ETFs have seen over 8x gains from $20 billion to $162 billion, driven by strong inflows. Data shows that traditional assets like gold ETFs have followed a steady upward trend, but digital asset ETFs showed a higher uptrending slope.

And with this humongous inflow, there is more liquidity than ever before for projects to generate massive returns.

However, finding the next 1000x crypto is not easy. In this guide, we have analyzed trends, momentum, and fundamentals. Considering those factors, let’s delve into top 3 picks (one is still in its presale phase at a highly discounted price) that could deliver explosive growth returns as the bull market advances.

Maxi Doge (MAXI): Prime Next 1000x Crypto Contender

While leading projects take the center stage, experts know that life-changing returns are made in the viral small-cap tokens, this time no-utility meme coins sector is leading the charge. And who can be a more suitable candidate than the direct descendant of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu – Maxi Doge (MAXI).

While Dogecoin was listed, Maxi Doge was in its adolescence, but now it is ready with an all-or-nothing mindset. This coin is designed for everyday traders who are tired of whales taking over the market. MAXI staking is already live, with more than 554 million tokens staked so far and an APY of over 1,300%. 

MAXI token presale has already raised $355,770 in its presale in just under a week, demonstrating high investor demand for the token. 

Crucially, the token is still in public presale, giving retail buyers the rare opportunity to enter before the listing phase. Most other tokens are gobbled up by VCs during early rounds, but MAXI democratizes access. 

With a golden opportunity to enter at a dirt-cheap price of $0.0002505, early adopters could potentially 1,000x their investment when the MAXI token lists. This is the kind of upside that makes analysts believe MAXI could outpace crypto giants in both price trajectory and popularity.

Ripple (XRP) ATH Correction, XRP ETF To Drive Optimism Higher

The recent developments in Ripple, coupled with the positive market temperature around a potential XRP ETF, have seen both institutional and retail buying momentum surge. In the July rally, the XRP price surged over 90% to reach a new all-time high of $3.66. Currently, it is trading at  $3.05 as profit-taking is going on in the market. Also, strong bullish sentiment is expected as Ripple solidifies a sizable market capitalization near $181 billion.

Many analysts see XRP ETFs as crucial milestones to achieve. It can create huge institutional demand. Also, beyond any doubt, this hype will expand its potential user base significantly. This positive sentiment has helped the token nearly erase all losses from prior regulatory headwinds. 

XRP/BTC is about to smash through its 8 year resistance level.

This is not just a random breakout, but a generational wealth opportunity.

And guess what?

XRP Spot ETFs aren't approved yet, which makes this breakout just a beginning.

Partly influenced by XRP ETFs’ growing potential, and Ripple’s dominance in cross-border payment has observed heavy trading volume increases in Ripple-related instruments. Improved investor confidence is reflected in the strong media sentiment, underscoring community anticipation.

Pump.fun Rebounds After Post-ICO Crash

The intense bear pressure on the PUMP token has become one of the most discussed topics in the crypto market. After its listing high of $0.00687, Pump.fun lost over 65% of its value in just 12 days. 

However, after a consolidation of over a week at the bottom base, PUMP has rebounded nearly 40%. At press time, PUMP is hovering near the $0.33 zone with 16.5% in the last 24 hours.

The reason behind this strong rebound in the token is its oversold relative strength. On July 31, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) dipped to 13.5, which is significantly below the oversold region index of 30, signaling a shift in momentum from sellers to buyers. On the price chart, the token has now achieved a relative strength index of 28, showing some momentum from buyers. 

However, it is still trading below the oversold region, which could create selling pressure in the price again. Analysts believe the $4 resistance could help PUMP token sustain bullish momentum.
