SOL bounces back 5.6% while Digitap ($TAP) presale surges on app store listings

Solana (SOL) is recovering with the wider crypto markets. Despite the weekend turbulence, it’s among the largest cryptocurrencies when measured by market cap. Backed by one of the busiest developer ecosystems in the sector, Solana still looks strong. Its network processes thousands of transactions per second and continues to attract DeFi and NFT projects.For new investors, there are other opportunities that may create larger gains. Solana’s upside looks limited and is highly leveraged to the global appetite for risk assets. Wild moves in the crypto market opened space for smaller projects like Digitap ($TAP), which is turning heads in presale markets thanks to its app listing with both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Solana’s price swoons with wider crypto marketSolana is at the tail end of a strong year, climbing more than 60% as trading activity picked up and confidence in its technology returned. With its low fees and high settlement speed, it remains a leading option for developers building consumer apps.Still, at just under $200 a coin, the investment profile is different from a few years ago. Large-cap tokens like Solana tend to move with the broader market and attract institutional flows, but the days of tenfold gains from small inflows are behind it.Solana at a Glance (Oct 2025)– Price: $200– Market Cap: ~$108B– Yearly Change: +60%From Tap-to-Pay to ATMs: Digitap brings crypto to lifeDigitap is a new player with a simple pitch: make crypto work like the fiat money people already use. The app functions as a wallet for both fiat and digital assets, and its co-branded Visa card allows holders to spend directly anywhere Visa is accepted.Over the weekend Digitap’s app was listed on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, so people can go live with the platform in minutes. The Visa cards Digitap offers are compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay for tap-to-pay purchases, offers virtual cards for secure online shopping, and allows users to order custom physical cards for ATM withdrawals or in-store spending. Privacy is central to Digitap’s design. Onboarding can be done without mandatory KYC, accounts are protected through offshore banking partners, and transactions are not tracked or resold.For many investors, this is the appeal — while infrastructure tokens like Solana depend on developer adoption, Digitap’s value is tied to everyday financial activity. The payments industry alone generated more than $2.4 trillion in global revenues in 2023 and is projected to keep growing at around 7% annually. At the same time, digital wallet adoption has passed 4.3 billion users worldwide, showing how quickly consumers are moving toward app-based finance. Notably, each swipe or transfer feeds back into the $TAP token through a buy-back-and-burn system, which makes supply scarcer as usage grows.How Digitap’s presale model bakes in ROI from the startDigitap is still in presale, and its funding model has been structured to favor early buyers. Tokens are currently listed at $0.0159, with the next stage moving to $0.0194. Every stage steps the price higher, meaning that early participants gain as allocations sell out.So far, more than half of the current stage has been taken up. For small investors, the attraction lies in the combination of accessibility — buying in at cents instead of hundreds of dollars — and the staged pricing ladder, which builds returns into the process before public listing.Digitap presale snapshotCurrent Stage Price: $0.0159Next Stage Price: $0.0194USE THE CODE “DIGITAP15” FOR 15% OFF FIRST-TIME PURCHASESChoosing best altcoins: Solana offers stability, Digitap offers a big opportunitySolana and Digitap sit on opposite ends of the spectrum. Solana has proven its place as a leading blockchain, with the scale and stability that come with a $108 billion valuation. Digitap is just starting out, offering a consumer product designed to bring crypto into daily spending while rewarding early participants in its presale.For investors, the decision often comes down to appetite. Solana offers reliability and infrastructure growth, but big gains are harder to find at its size. Digitap is an up and comer, and its Visa card and presale mechanics make it attractive. With an app that almost anyone can download and use, Digitap is well placed to grow into one of the largest markets on earth.
