February’s Top 5 Cryptos to Watch: XRP, Solana, Trump Coin, Dogecoin, and Pi Network

Big developments in February for XRP, Solana, TrumpCoin, Dogecoin, and Pi Network promise to create new opportunities for investors.


Crypto is about to heat up this February, standing tall with five big players for uptick. First is XRP. The ongoing case with the SEC might cause a huge shift in the case of a Ripple win, possibly sparking massive investment that could see XRP boost up the ladder close to Ethereum and Bitcoin. If an ETF approval happens, XRP might lure more institutional investors, and this month of February is quite critical..

Next is Solana (SOL). Known for its speed and low fees, Solana’s been gaining traction, especially after Donald Trump launched his official memecoin on this blockchain. With increasing interest in meme coins and potential ETF approval, Solana’s future looks promising as it continues to lead the charge in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFT space.

Then there is TrumpCoin ($TRUMP). Political factors and media hype might spur short-term interest, but meme coins like TrumpCoin are so dependent on buzz that February is anyone’s guess.

Dogecoin is still a fan favorite, thanks in large part to Elon Musk’s tweets. The billionaire has had a huge influence on its price. Dogecoin might just go on another tear as more and more people jump onto the meme coin bandwagon – if social media buzz calls for it.

Last but not least, Pi Network (PI). Known for their mobile mining, Pi is now preparing for mainnet in 2025, and February is expected to be an important milestone as the chain gets closer to full market integrations.

Thus, expect all these changes coming this month to the crypto market!

WLFI and Crypto Holdings Plunge as Market Crash Hits, Despite Trump’s Backing

Trump-backed WLFI lost $51.77M as crypto crashed, while his memecoin tanked 64%, wiping billions—analysts blame tariffs and market hype.



World Liberty Financial, Inc. (WLFI), the crypto investment firm endorsed by Donald Trump, was among those that suffered most from the market crash. Between January 19 and 31, WLFI had invested $242.77 million in several cryptocurrencies, the value of which decreased by 21%. That means a loss of $51.77 million to the firm, with major holdings such as Ethereum (ETH) and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) being badly affected.ETH, the company’s largest investment, was down 24.45% and shed $36.67 million, while WBTC suffered a 12.07% decline that took more than $8.07 million off its value. Ethena, with a plunge of 43.72%, was the worst performer and burned more than $2 million. Other big losers were TRON (TRX), AAVE, and Chainlink’s LINK.

Not even Trump’s personal crypto portfolio could avoid the bloodbath of carnage: his very memecoin, once heaping $55 billion onto the net worth he had, fell 64% since January 20, pulling $35 billion off its market value. He gave crypto too, after falling below the $5-million mark-while most of that is made out of memecoins.

Analysts are pointing fingers at the newly imposed tariffs by Trump, which could have contributed to the market downturn and wiped out almost $500 billion in value. According to some, the crash was inevitable due to an overheated market, but the tariffs might have accelerated the collapse.

Gang Token Drama: Allegations, Mockery, and a Market Crash

Crypto influencer MrPunk.eth launched $GANG, cashed out $10M, and mocked investors. Allegations of a pump-and-dump scam fuel controversy.



The $GANG token, launched by crypto influencer MrPunk.eth, quickly went from soaring to crashing 98%. It all started with MrPunk.eth using his massive social media reach to hype the coin. However, after a brief surge, the token plummeted, and accusations started flying.

The famous crypto investigator @freakyfawi accused MrPunk.eth of selling $1.3 million in $GANG tokens within two minutes of tweeting about it, cashing out a total of $10 million weeks later. Of course, immediate rumors of a classic “pump and dump” surfaced, with prices suddenly spiking only to fall just as quickly and leaving most investors with extraordinary losses.

GoFundMeme, the company behind $GANG, took to its defense, stating that MrPunk.eth had used special features to avoid snipers and that the team wasn’t involved in buying tokens. Yet some users weren’t buying it, accusing GoFundMeme of being in on the scam.

Meanwhile, MrPunk.eth snubbed his followers’ concerns, even to the point of making fun of those who lost money by calling them “broke losers.” As the drama unfolds, @freakyfawi unveiled MrPunk.eth’s real identity as Rajinder Pathani. In any case, it was either market manipulation or a rug pull; the crypto community was abuzz with debate.

Is XRP Heading for a Price Correction in February?

XRP dipped below $3, historically struggling in February. Traders hope Ripple’s U.S. crypto reserve move boosts demand and flips the trend.



XRP just slipped below $3, dropping over 4% in the past 24 hours. While that might not seem huge, history says February isn’t usually kind to XRP. Since 2014, February has averaged a -3% return, making it one of the coin’s weaker months.

Looking at the stats, XRP has only had four good Februarys—2016, 2019, 2022, and 2024. The biggest gain was in 2022, with a 26.3% jump, but most of the time, losses have been more common, including a brutal 33.4% crash in 2014.

But is this year different? Perhaps. With XRP already 3% down, most of its losses during the month of February in the past have been less than 10%. Therefore, even if it struggles this month, it may not fall that hard. Besides, the crypto market is looking strong, and U.S. regulators are warming up toward crypto.

The biggest game-changer? Ripple joining the U.S. crypto strategic reserve. If approved, demand would spike, thus driving XRP towards $4.
For now, XRP changes hands at $2.98, losing 3.69% with a volume of $4.46 billion. Traders now look to see whether this can finally mark an end to its losing streak in February.

Pi Network Accelerates Migration Process in Preparation for Mainnet Launch

Pi Network is accelerating Mainnet migration, reaches 9M users, and is targeting more than 10M by Q1 2025. KYC deadline extended to Feb 28, 2025.



The Pi Network is going full steam into Mainnet migration, gearing up to reach over 10 million migrated users before the Open Network launch early this year, 2025. As of January 2024, over 9 million pioneers have jumped, while the team is pushing for another 2 million migrations by early this year.

For this to happen, Pi Network has increased the speed of migration, sometimes migrating as many as 200,000 users in one day. This will translate to quicker transitions by users and much smoother, seamless shifts to Mainnet. What’s the goal? A solid, inclusive ecosystem ready to thrive once the Open Network launches in Q1 this year.

On top of that, Pi Network has extended the Grace Period for KYC and Mainnet migration until February last day this year. This gives users extra time to verify their identity and complete the migration checklist.

If you’re a Pioneer, now’s the time to act. Get your KYC done, check off the Mainnet migration steps, and secure your Pi before the Open Network goes live. The clock’s ticking, but with the boosted migration speed, making the move has never been easier.

Nayib Bukele Calls Out ‘Karma’ as Anti-Bitcoin US Senator Faces Corruption Charges

Former US senator Menendez gets 11 years for bribery after criticizing El Salvador’s Bitcoin move, calling it a corruption tool.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele threw some shade at former US senator Robert Menendez after he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for bribery charges. Menendez, who once criticized El Salvador’s move to adopt Bitcoin, calling it a potential “door to corruption,” was hit with the hefty sentence after a court found him guilty of taking bribes to help businessmen with ties to Egypt and Qatar.

The case against Menendez got pretty wild, with federal prosecutors uncovering gold bars and hundreds of thousands in cash hidden in his home—$100,000 in gold and $480,000 in cash, to be exact. The 70-year-old Democrat, known for his anti-crypto stance, was vocal about his opposition to Bitcoin, even calling it a tool for criminals. He had also campaigned against El Salvador’s decision to make Bitcoin a legal tender, fearing it would fuel corruption and money laundering.

Now, Menendez is planning to appeal the sentence, but his history with crypto and his legal troubles make him look like a hypocrite to some. Meanwhile, Bukele and his supporters see it as a win for the crypto movement and a lesson in how Bitcoin is not the corrupt force Menendez once claimed it was.

Illinois Proposes Bitcoin Strategy for State Reserve Holdings

Illinois eyes a Bitcoin reserve to drive financial security; if passed, the bill may trigger other states to adopt BTC strategies.



On January 29, Illinois led the way in treating Bitcoin like a major financial asset through the Bitcoin Strategic Bill. State Rep. John Cabello is advocating for a Bitcoin reserve fund run by the Illinois State Treasurer. The state reportedly became the first U.S. state to make the official decision to hold BTC in its financial strategy.

The bill allows Illinois to receive Bitcoin donations from both residents and government entities. The state will hold the Bitcoin for at least five years before deciding whether to sell or transfer it. Strict rules will ensure fund security, and regular updates will keep the public informed. If passed, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act takes effect immediately.

The move also comes as interest in Bitcoin as a hedge for financial crises continues to mount. Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis is now forcing discussions on a national Bitcoin reserve, saying that BTC has the potential to ward off both economic depression and inflation. The asset is used to insulate against market instability by major institutions.

With Illinois taking the lead, it’s quite probable that other states and organizations might follow. A decision on this bill will outline whether Bitcoin is to become a serious financial tool for government reserves.

Ethereum Community Backs Danny Ryan for Foundation Leadership

Ethereum holders voted overwhelmingly for Danny Ryan as Ethereum Foundation leader, sparking leadership debates despite Vitalik Buterin’s call for structured reforms.



An informal on-chain vote at votedannyryan.com has shown massive community support for Danny Ryan as the next leader of the Ethereum Foundation. A total of 296 ETH holders, collectively controlling over 50,000 ETH, participated in the gas-free vote using their wallets. An overwhelming 279 votes—about 99%—favored Ryan.

Danny Ryan, one of the key researchers behind the recent Ethereum Merge into proof-of-stake consensus from proof-of-work consensus, saw overwhelming community support. The poll was led by Ethereum contributor Fabrice Cheng in a claim for greater community involvement in the foundation’s leadership. A number of voters argued that the foundation was managed inefficiently and that the expertise of Ryan would better position Ethereum toward its long-term vision.

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin has also thrown his weight behind Ryan for his energy and deep technical knowledge. But it’s an informal vote, with no mandate for change. In the other camp was Vitalik Buterin calling for patience – although more for the structured governance reforms before any transition in leadership.

Ryan himself has shown interest for the post and has revealed conversations with Buterin and other members of the foundation. But while the vote is unofficial, it does indicate building consensus within the Ethereum community for change at the top.

Pi Network: More Than Hype, What Lies Beyond the Buzz?

Pi Network’s all hype, no real value! Gamified mining, community buzz, and FOMO fuel it, but no real market backing.

Pi Network: Hype Machine or Real Deal?

Pi Network has been making waves since 2019, hyping up mobile mining like never before. From India to Nigeria, users are buzzing about its mainnet launch and wild price predictions—some even claiming Pi could hit $314,159 (yeah, right 😆). But here’s the catch: Pi has no real market value yet and isn’t even tradable. So, what’s the deal?

The secret sauce behind Pi’s insane growth? Hype, community, and FOMO. 🚀 Events are popping up globally—from India (Assam, Karnataka, Delhi, Odisha, UP) to China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. But is all this just another Hamster Kombat-style pump-and-dump?

Pi Network thrives on gamified mining, making crypto feel easy and fun. Add in social media hype, the thrill of being part of a massive community (65M+ users), and the dream of huge rewards, and you’ve got a recipe for viral success. But without real utility or exchange listings, is this just another crypto illusion?

In 2025, with memecoins going crazy, investors need to look beyond hype. Even CZ and Vitalik preach real use cases. Right now, Pi is just noise—so DYOR before FOMO-ing in!
