Bitcoin (BTC) has once again become the focus of the global agenda, approaching the $100,000 level. Bitcoin, which has increased in value by 45% since the US presidential election, has managed to increase the interest of investors again. ChatGPT also highlighted Ethereum (ETH) and another altcoin that should be included in diversified portfolios for 2025. Here are the details...
Ethereum (ETH)$ETH
Ethereum ranks second in the world in terms of market value and still has the potential to be an attractive investment vehicle for 2025. ETH has consolidated around $3,500, creating solid support levels and gaining significant momentum during the altcoin season. Recently, a total of $224.9 million was invested in spot Ether ETFs between November 22-27. During the same period, only $35.2 million was invested in Bitcoin ETFs. This shows that institutional investors are showing increasing interest in Ethereum. In addition, institutional investors have collected a total of 430 thousand ETH in the last two weeks, which is approximately $1.4 billion. Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem continues to grow with changes in the regulatory environment. Expectations for a change in leadership at the SEC are strengthening hopes for a more crypto-friendly environment. Ethereum’s price is expected to reach a level between $3,800 and $4,200 by the end of the year. With its strong long-term fundamentals and increasing usage areas, ETH offers a significant opportunity for investors in 2025.
Solana (SOL)$SOL
Solana continues to grow rapidly, especially in the decentralized application (DApp) ecosystem. Protocols such as Raydium and Jito have attracted attention by generating $203.13 million and $199.61 million in transaction fees in the last 30 days, respectively. Solana continues to offer an attractive option for both retail and institutional users with its transaction fees and high transaction speed. Expectations for spot Solana ETFs have also increased investors’ excitement. Analysts predict that Solana’s price could rise to between $380 and $420 after ETF approvals. Major investors have announced plans to include Solana in their portfolios. Currently trading around $240, SOL has strong growth potential in 2025 and beyond with its expanding ecosystem and increasing institutional interest.
As Bitcoin approaches $100,000, altcoins like Ethereum and Solana present significant opportunities for investors. These assets are among the digital assets that should be included in portfolios with their solid fundamentals and innovative ecosystems.
