The market is remaining close to the $3.06 trillion level today, with cryptocurrency prices continuing to move sideways after U.S. stocks closed a little lower yesterday. Ethereum has managed a 2% gain in the past 24 hours and Bitcoin is currently up by 1%, while XRP has actually dipped by 0.5%. Yet these three coins remain the best crypto to buy before 2026, given their market-leading fundamentals and the institutional interest they continue to attract. However, we will also take a look at one up-and-coming altcoin, the Ethereum-based SUBBD ($SUBBD) , which is currently holding its presale as it gets ready to launch next year. Best Crypto To Buy Before 2026, 30 December 2025 – XRP, BTC, ETH Ripple ($XRP) At $1.86, the XRP price is down by 1% in a week, 15% in a month and by 10% in the past year. On the other hand, it does remain up by around 270% since last November’s U.S. presidential election, which brought Donald Trump back to the White House and which vastly improved the coin’s long-term outlook. And this outlook remains as positive today as it was when Trump regained office, or even when Ripple and the SEC finally settled their long-running legal battle. If we look at the XRP price chart today, we see that it’s very close to a potential breakout, given that a bullish pennant has formed over the past few months. Source: TradingView The coin’s indicators (RSI, MACD) are also in oversold positions, and have been in such positions for too long now, suggesting that a breakout is long overdue. Such a breakout could come in the New Year, and in the longer term the launch of XRP ETFs and Ripple’s ongoing growth should push the XRP price much higher. It could reach $2 in the first week of 2026, before returning to $3 in Q2. Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin has inched up to $87,824 today, and it has occupied the $86,000 to $90,000 range since the middle of December. These latter two prices are the key support and resistance levels to watch out for in the coming days and weeks, with BTC’s fate likely to set the direction for the rest of the market. The original cryptocurrency is due a rebound, seeing as how it’s down by 3.5% in a month and by 6% in a year. But as with XRP, Bitcoin is still firmly above the price it had (c. $67,000) in early November 2024, and there’s no real reason to believe that it will drop much lower from its current level. Indeed, with analysts expecting additional rate cuts next year , the overall direction can only be upwards. Source: TradingView Its chart also suggests that a positive correction should be coming soon, with its MACD (orange, blue) working its way back to 0 (and higher) after several weeks at one-year lows. Now could therefore be a good time to buy Bitcoin, given how undervalued it is right now, despite it remaining massively popular with funds and institutions . BTC could therefore return to $90,000 within the first couple of weeks of the New Year, while its target for 2026 could be as high as $200,000. This is why it’s one of the best crypto to buy before 2026, and while it remain so for the foreseeable future. Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum has done better today than most other major cryptocurrencies, with its current price of $2,979 representing a 2% gain in 24 hours. Much of this gain has gone towards compensating for recent losses, with the altcoin up by only 1% in a fortnight, while remaining down by 1% in a month and by 12.5% in a year. That said, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful about Ethereum, not least because it remains the biggest layer-one network by quite some margin . It also hosts more in stablecoin value than any other chain , while it currently hosts $10.5 billion in real-world assets , with its nearest rival – BNB Chain – hosting only $2 billion. As such, if we look at Ethereum’s chart today, we can expect that a big recovery will arrive sooner or later. Source: TradingView In fact, not only did Ethereum bottom out a couple of weeks ago, but its RSI (yellow) is about to pass 50 anytime soon. Once it does this, it could signal a breakout, as also suggested by the fact that its price has been trading within a bullish pennant. A climb towards $3,500 could be imminent, while the altcoin could reach $5,000 by H2 2026, making it one of the best crypto to buy before 2026. Why AI-Enabled Content Creation Platform SUBBD Could Be One of 2026’s Success Stories While the above coins will remain three of the most bankable tokens in the market for some time to come, traders may also want to diversify into newer tokens, since these can outpace the market. It may be worth allocating a percentage to presale coins, since the most popular of these can go on to rally strongly once they list for the first time.

What sets SUBBD apart from most other new alts is that it’s in the process of launching an adult-focused content creation, one which harnesses AI tools and crypto to ensure that creators get a better deal. On the one hand, content creators can use AI tools to generate virtual performers and posts, and to aid with new ideas. On the other hand, the use of the Ethereum blockchain will ensure that payments remain transparent, fair and immediate, something which should overcome many of the problems users face with similar legacy platforms. Encouragingly, SUBBD already reaches over 38,000 followers on X , a sign of how popular it could become once it launches. Investors can join its presale by going to the project’s official website and connecting a compatible wallet, such as Best Wallet. SUBBD currently costs $0.057325, but investors should move quickly, since this price will continue to rise until its sale ends.
