The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a divergence between established altcoins facing price pressure and a new utility-focused project gaining traction. Digitap ($TAP) has announced the integration of the Solana blockchain into its unified financial platform, a move aimed at lowering transaction fees and improving user flexibility. This development coincides with the project's ongoing presale, which has reportedly raised over $4.3 million and delivered a 251% return for early buyers, with the $TAP token currently priced at $0.0439.
In contrast, major Layer-1 tokens are showing signs of weakness. Sui (SUI) is struggling to hold the $1.57 level, having failed to sustain momentum after a recovery from lows around $1.13 in late 2025. Technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggest neutral sentiment and consolidation. Similarly, Polkadot (DOT) is hovering near $2.10, remaining below its 200-day moving average—a bearish signal for many traders. Both projects face criticism: Sui's reputation was marred by a $220 million exploit on the Cetus Protocol in May 2025, while Polkadot contends with user friction and an inflationary token model.
Digitap positions itself as a practical alternative, focusing on the application layer rather than pure infrastructure. The platform functions as an "omnibank," integrating traditional payment rails (SWIFT, SEPA, ACH) with blockchain to allow global money movement without requiring users to understand wallet addresses. It uses simple usernames (DigiTags) and offers Visa cards compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay. The recent Solana integration will enable users to fund wallets using USDC, USDT, and SOL, with plans for Ethereum and Bitcoin integrations underway.
The article also touches on the meme coin sector, noting recent declines. Dogecoin (DOGE) fell over 10% in a week to around $0.12, and Shiba Inu (SHIB) dropped nearly 10% to approximately $0.0000075. While some influencers predict rallies, these forecasts are met with skepticism due to the massive market capitalization increases required. Digitap is presented as a utility-driven option compared to these hype-dependent assets, targeting the estimated 1.4 billion unbanked individuals globally.
