The next bull run in crypto will be driven by projects that connect directly with traditional finance. Traders and institutions are no longer only asking about tokens with hype—they want to know which ones can power payments, settlements, and digital banking.
Three names now stand out: Digitap ($TAP), Solana’s SOL, and Plasma’s XPL. Each has a story tied to speed, scale, and the movement of money. The question is which of them will lead the banking bull run.
Digitap: The Utility-First Contender
Digitap enters the scene with a clear purpose. It is the world’s first omni-bank, a money app and card that turns crypto into something spendable anywhere Visa works. The $TAP token is the fuel of this system. It connects directly to daily life. Users will be able to pay in shops, online, or even withdraw cash, all with crypto.
The app is designed with features that solve real problems. Transfers are fast and fees are low, far below the average in cross-border banking. Offshore accounts with multi-currency IBANs will be available for personal and business use.
Unlimited virtual cards can be created for online purchases in minutes. Privacy remains part of the design, with no-KYC onboarding for smaller accounts and no data selling. Bank-grade security protects funds, but users keep control.
The $TAP token itself is structured for long-term value. The supply is fixed at two billion. There is no new minting and no hidden tax. Multiple burn systems cut the number of tokens in circulation over time such as 50% of platform profits being used for buybacks.
Digitap also speaks to a growing community. Freelancers, small businesses, digital nomads, and institutions all face problems with high fees, slow settlement, and complex compliance. Digitap positions itself as the app that answers those problems.
The presale is live, with $TAP priced at $0.0125 and already set to rise to $0.01590 in the next round. That makes the current stage a rare early-entry window before the step up, and $TAP looks like it could be one of the top altcoins to hold in Q4.

SOL: Speed Meets Scale
Solana is already one of the most recognized projects in crypto. Its biggest strength is speed, with the network able to process thousands of transactions each second at very low cost. That speed has turned Solana into a go-to network for DeFi projects, NFT markets, and new token launches.
The network, however, has not been free of problems. Outages and congestion have happened more than once. Each problem has left a mark on Solana’s reputation. The upgrades helped, but many still worry about reliability. For a network aiming at scale, that weakness is not easy to ignore.
In spite of the challenges, Solana still sees heavy use, with many developers choosing to stay active on the chain. It is clear SOL has a place in the market, but its ability to lead in banking or large-scale finance is uncertain as doubts over stability and long-term demand remain.
XPL: From Hype to Hard Questions
Plasma’s XPL token launched recently with a focus on stablecoin payments. Its aim is to make stablecoin transfers both quick and inexpensive, on an Ethereum-style chain that ties into a wide variety of DeFi services.
The launch brought strong interest in trading, but also some problems. Allegations of insider selling soon surfaced, with community members pointing to large transfers before the token went live.
The team rejected the claims and said that main allocations remain locked for years, but doubts around transparency have lingered. The price has also been volatile since launch, with XPL now sitting below one dollar after its early jump.
Even with the early turbulence, XPL has secured listings on major exchanges and holds a notable position in the market. Its emphasis on stablecoin flows and DeFi integration could make it an important player in digital banking. However, its short-term outlook is clouded by community concerns and the need to prove long-term credibility.

The Strongest Play in the Banking Cycle
All three tokens bring something different to the table. SOL has speed and a strong developer base. XPL has a focus on stablecoins and fast transfers. But both come with risks. Solana’s outages have not been forgotten. XPL faces doubts about its early sales and token stability.
Digitap, by contrast, is building a platform that connects crypto and banking in a way that everyday people and institutions can use. Its tap-to-pay Visa card, multi-currency accounts, and privacy features give it a wider reach than a simple blockchain or DeFi chain.
For those watching the banking bull run, the projects that combine real-world use with strong tokenomics are the ones most likely to lead—and on those points, Digitap stands out as the strongest contender.
