Top Five Cryptos to Watch in 2026: RTX, HYPE, NEAR, ADA, and XRP
As we look ahead to 2026, there are several cryptocurrencies that are worth keeping an eye on. Remittix (RTX), Hyperliquid's HYPE, NEAR, Cardano's ADA, and XRP are among the top five coins to watch.
The traditional approach to identifying promising projects often involves looking at 'top gainers' lists, but this can create a misleading impression. A more useful approach is to compare publicly traded assets with emerging projects based on their actual catalysts.
HYPE has recently set a high near $97.98 and traded around $93 on September 27, showing the potential demand for active trading. NEAR has gained attention through its blockchain and AI-related development narrative, but its next test is whether builders produce applications with sustained usage.
Cardano's ADA recently traded near $0.256 as the Cardano Foundation announced future Fireblocks support for its native tokens, expected to roll out in 2027. XRP remains a payments-focused market fixture, with daily prices that can vary independently of progress across the wider XRP Ledger.
