Chainlink (LINK) is an unsung hero in the crypto landscape. It feeds timely, real-world information that smart contracts need to execute functions effectively. However, LINK has hardly recorded massive price jumps.
This is the reason experts believe that LINK’s recent partnership with Mastercard would put it on the map. The resulting rally could see LINK outpace Ripple (XRP), but can it keep up with new crypto sensation Remittix (RTX)?
Remittix keeps getting stronger
International cross-border payments seem to be the next frontier for crypto adoption and development. The crypto landscape has evolved so much over the last decade that a core aspect of its operation, transfer of value between two or more entities, relies heavily on centralized bodies and third parties in the form of exchanges.
Remittix’s goal is to put an end to that. A trailblazing new project, it offers a PayFi protocol that enables anyone to send crypto as fiat to any bank account globally. This effectively banks the unbanked and since RTX charges no FTX fees, is fast and efficient, it’s only a matter of time before it topples financial behemoths like MoneyGram and Western Union.
This could be why Remittix appreciated so rapidly after its release. Although the coin is still in presale, it has raised over $15.8 million from more than 30,000 investors. Half a billion tokens have been sold and investors are jostling to get their hands on the remaining tokens, available at $0.0811 each.
Remittix has appreciated by over 500% since it was launched. Experts believe the coin would hit a landmark $1 shortly after it gets listed on major exchanges. The coin’s exploding utility is then expected to take its price above $5, fetching early adopters gigantic profits.
Chainlink price predictions explode with Mastercard collaboration
Teaming up with Mastercard is a pivotal moment for Chainlink, a decentralized oracle network that keeps the DeFi world working. The partnership leverages Chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability to facilitate secure communication between financial systems.
This development is set to boost DeFi activities, which is why Chainlink price predictions are now quite bright. Even though LINK is down by double digits on the monthly scene, experts see it reclaiming key support near $12.

Chainlink is pushing higher after breaking out of a large triangle formation, accompanied by bullish momentum and continuation signals. It won’t be a surprise if LINK hits $15 in the next couple of months.
Regulatory clarity sets XRP price on an upward surge
Ripple has been in the spotlight in recent times, thanks to positive regulatory developments and a string of new partnerships. The project’s long-standing SEC lawsuit looks almost done and the expansion of Ripple’s network to newer regions has boosted investor confidence.
In essence, XRP looks to have reasserted itself as a major player in the cross-border payments sector, but has this translated to an XRP price boom? Sadly, the answer is no.

The XRP price has traded mostly between $2.0 and $2.4 for most parts of the last few months. A sudden drop in the middle of June doesn’t inspire much confidence either. But one thing is clear: XRP price is going to explode once its case with the SEC gets sorted out. This is expected to happen sometime later in 2025.
RTX reigns supreme
The general belief amongst crypto veterans is that LINK would outpace XRP until it gets more clarity around its case with the SEC. However, Remittix’s pace and momentum would be too much for LINK.
That is because RTX is a global movement. Moreover, it is still in its infancy with loads of room to grow. By the time RTX hits the limelight and goes viral, early adopters stand to make as much as a 100X profit. That’s why analysts have it pegged as the best coin to buy right now and well worth considering for the astute investor.
