Tezos Crypto: The Newest Dinosaur Coin To Surge Following XRP Reaching New All-Time Peak
Traditionally, a sign of an impending bull market is when “dino” coins begin to rise in value. Recently, XRP has taken the lead, hitting a new all-time high (ATH) of $3.65 on July 16. Now, Tezos has surfaced as the most recent OG dino token creating a stir, with a surge of over 55% in just 24 hours.
While ETH is slowly moving toward $4,000 and BTC remains securely under $120,000 after its impressive run, established coins like Ripple (XRP), Tezos (XTZ), and Litecoin (LTC) are all making significant strides.

XTZ Bounces Back Over $1 As Tezos Crypto Becomes The Latest OG Coin To Surge
Tezos crypto, a token established in 2018, has seen an overnight spike, with a +40% increase putting the OG coin back over $1 for just the second time in 2025.
This is a largely overlooked OG crypto asset, functioning as a Layer-1 network that was once in the top 10 by market cap back in February 2020, a time with far fewer digital assets available and XTZ having considerable hype.
Interestingly, the daily trading volume for XTZ has surpassed $1.2 billion, matching the trading market cap of the Tezos crypto asset, indicating a strong demand for OG coins currently.
Despite its recent increase in price, Tezos crypto is now ranked only as the 101st largest token by trading market capitalization, a marked drop from its notable position alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and EOS.
By recapturing $1, XTZ has also regained its prized $1 billion trading market cap status, and any further advancements from here could place it back among the top 100 cryptocurrencies.
Tezos crypto is currently encountering considerable price ceiling between $1.15 and $1.20; nevertheless, if it manages to overcome this barrier, it could swiftly climb toward $3.
Thanks to its longevity and previous prominence, XTZ can be found on all major exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, OXK, ByBit, and many others. This accessibility is a significant reason for the 800% surge in trading volume Tezos has seen, as it is readily available on exchanges worldwide.

Litecoin (LTC) has gained an additional 15% today, following a remarkable nearly 40% increase over the last week. This ascent highlights LTC as a noteworthy, older cryptocurrency that is regaining traction.
Although it’s not in the top five tokens, LTC holds the 22nd rank by crypto market cap, which is around $9 billion, a figure consistent with its position over five years ago. It remains a respected project and has maintained its status as a solid beta play compared to BTC throughout the years.
In the last 24 hours, LTC has recorded over $2 billion in trading volume, showcasing the strength of the current crypto market trend, which has seen several ‘dino’ cryptocurrencies experience notable price increases.
None more so than Ripple (XRP), which on July 16 set a new all-time high, nearly eight years after its former high. It briefly peaked at $3.65 and has since decreased to $3.45.
Unlike other long-standing cryptocurrencies that are witnessing price increases without holding substantial value in the Web3 environment in 2025, XRP is distinctive. Ripple ranks as the third-largest digital currency by trading market capitalization, only behind ETH and BTC.

Over the years, Ripple has consistently enhanced its network and attracted new capital. The latest boon for the XRP growth trajectory is its RLUSD stablecoin, a USD-pegged stablecoin that has accumulated a $500 million market cap since its inception in December 2024.
This expansion is anticipated to pave the way for the possible launch of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) later this year. Bloomberg analysts project a 90% likelihood that an XRP ETF will gain approval in 2025.
All of Ripple’s growth over the last year has been propelled by the settlement of the protracted legal battle between XRP and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Official confirmation is expected later this month, which should finally conclude the nearly five-year dispute between Ripple and the SEC.
