Ripple’s ongoing battle for regulatory clarity has kept investors watching, but analysts are questioning whether the XRP price can deliver in Q4. While Ripple remains a long-term contender in payments, experts are pointing to three other projects — Sui, Polkadot, and Layer Brett — as the cryptos more likely to outperform in the coming months.
Ripple: Steady, but struggling to break out
Despite court victories and banking partnerships, Ripple has struggled to shake its ceiling. The XRP price has hovered around $0.53–$0.55, unable to mount the rally traders were hoping for. For institutions, XRP’s utility in cross-border settlements is clear. But for retail investors, the lack of movement makes it less appealing compared with rivals offering momentum.
With billions in circulation and a top-10 market cap, XRP has become more of a steady asset than a growth rocket. That appeals to some, but others see it as limiting compared to coins with higher upside.
Sui gaining developer traction
Sui has been climbing quickly, with its Move programming language sparking developer interest. Currently trading near $1.10, SUI has seen volumes above $350 million this week. With DeFi and gaming projects launching, Sui is cementing itself as a real competitor to Solana and other high-speed chains.
The biggest draw for traders is growth potential. With a market cap below $3 billion, SUI could deliver multiples that XRP simply can’t. That’s why many list it among the strongest contenders to outperform the XRP price in Q4.
Polkadot focuses on interoperability
Polkadot is back in the conversation as multi-chain demand grows. DOT currently trades near $6.30, with a market cap of $8.6 billion. Its parachain model and emphasis on interoperability keep it unique among top projects.
While adoption has been slower than some hoped, DOT remains a key infrastructure play. With renewed developer activity, Polkadot is showing signs of recovery that could make it one of the strongest altcoins in Q4.
Layer Brett: The rising star experts are watching
The real wildcard is Layer Brett. Unlike Ripple, Sui, or Polkadot, it’s early-stage and trading at presale — where the biggest gains often emerge. Built as an Ethereum Layer 2, it offers faster and cheaper transactions than ETH while layering meme coin culture on top.
The presale has already attracted almost $4 million, with tokens at just $0.0058. Early participants are still earning APYs above 650%, though rewards tighten daily as wallets stake. Beyond staking, $LBRETT is rolling out NFT integrations, gamified rewards, cross-chain bridging, and a $1 million giveaway.
Community growth adds fuel. Its Telegram has passed 26,000 members, X followers are over 14,000, and engagement rises daily. Experts say this kind of momentum is exactly what drives viral adoption — something Ripple lacks, and what SUI and DOT are still trying to capture.
Where the bigger Q4 moves could come from
- Ripple’s XRP price: Reliable, but growth looks capped.
- Sui (SUI): Developer traction and smaller cap give it strong upside.
- Polkadot (DOT): Interoperability play with room to grow.
- Layer Brett: Meme appeal plus blockchain scalability, presale traction, and social buzz.
Ripple may remain a backbone for payments, but in terms of price action, experts say it’s Sui, Polkadot, and especially Layer Brett that could steal the show in Q4.
Don’t let Q4 gains pass you by
Ripple stays steady, but SUI, DOT, and Layer Brett are where traders see breakout potential. With almost $4m raised, 40k+ on social media channels, and APYs still in the hundreds of percent, $LBRETT looks like the kind of early entry people regret missing.
Move now — by Q4’s end, $0.0058 will be gone.
