The post Ranking the “XRP Killers”: Why Digitap ($TAP) Takes the #1 Spot for 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP opted for the banks-first approach with a long list of impressive partnerships. But a decade later, and no meaningful volume executed has seen a new cohort rise up. Consumers-first is how the new projects are positioning themselves. Stablecoins own the cross-border narrative, and Ripple is being pushed out of the spotlight.  The project that turns these digital dollars into everyday money will take the crown. Here’s the 2025 ranking for ‘XRP Killers’—and why Digitap ($TAP) sits on top. 1. Digitap ($TAP)—The world’s first omni-bank with Visa, Apple Pay, and Google Pay live.2. Stellar (XLM)—A cross-border network with steady enterprise integrations. 3. Remittix (RTX)—A remittance-focused newcomer aiming to bring stablecoin flows into everyday payouts.  Why XRP Never Worked XRP always targeted correspondent banking, not consumers. The story sounded incredible a decade ago, but stablecoins have changed the game. Dollar-pegged assets that run on faster rails than the XRP ledger with broader distribution. XRP’s vision has failed, but the cross-border payment disruption trade is still very much open. But in 2025, adoption matters, and the products that make digital dollars usable in ordinary life will be the biggest winners.  1) Digitap ($TAP): World’s First Omni-Bank with Growing Distribution Digitap is built to make every form of money behave the same. No more siloes, no more juggling multiple accounts, just all forms of value together on a single interface. Fiat, stablecoins, and crypto sit inside a single balance, and thousands of users have downloaded the app today and are using it to send funds.  In many ways, Digitap is an interoperability layer that stitches money together. Blockchain networks and established legacy banking systems are included in the multi-rail design, meaning money can truly travel on any system. Digitaps’ AI system optimizes for speed and cost whenever a user presses send, swap, or…

The post Solana Faces Market Challenges as Digitap Aims to Revolutionize Payments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lawrence Jengar Oct 24, 2025 12:51 Solana’s price struggles below $200 while Digitap emerges as a potential leader in digital payments, leveraging AI and stablecoins for seamless transactions. Solana (SOL), a prominent blockchain platform known for its high throughput and low transaction costs, is currently experiencing market challenges as its price hovers below the $200 mark. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency industry is turning its attention toward the payments sector, with stablecoins and new entrants like Digitap leading the charge, according to CoinMarketCap. Stablecoins and Payments in Focus The market’s interest in stablecoins and digital payment solutions has been amplified by recent developments. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller’s proposal for ‘skinny’ Fed accounts could potentially allow institutions and stablecoin issuers to bank directly with the Federal Reserve. This move is poised to bring payments to the forefront of the financial innovation landscape. Solana’s Market Position Despite its technological advancements, Solana is facing resistance in maintaining its price above $200. The platform’s current market position highlights the shifting focus of investors towards projects that are integrating stablecoins and offering innovative payment solutions. These projects are seen as the next major growth drivers in the crypto sphere. Digitap’s Innovative Approach Digitap is emerging as a promising player in the digital payments sector.
